I noticed a lot of them going over 12 pages. Then it occured to me the PDFs are counting the title page. However, there is one entry I'm curious about- the one with no pages


"I know you want to work for Mo Fuzz. And Mo Fuzz wants you to. But first, I'm going to need to you do something for me... on spec." - Mo Fuzz, Tapeheads, 1988

Don...amazing! Thank you so much for the warp speed posting!

I'm glad to see there were not too many entries since I told Carson and the pro writer there are usually around 30 entries. I worried they might bail if there were too many.

Looking over the loglines, I like quite a few of them. Only Don knows who wrote what, so the few I will have time to read will be from the loglines alone.

Another observation...why are there so many that went over 12 pages?

Anyway, good luck everyone.

Very good turn out. And some good scripts ...I've only read four so far this morning... but I plan on reading some more when I get home this afternoon.

Great job writers!

Great job Pia and Don. I was shocked to find the scripts up  when I woke!

And I always scroll to find the shorter ones to read first... I like 5-8 min script/films... and like Pia, I was surprised to see so many OVER the page limit!!!

It should be pointed out - Honeycomb Apocalypse and In Need of Refuge are NOT over the page limit. It seems the author just tacked on a blank page, probably a software issue.

Speedy post! Thanks Don, Pia for getting this up and running, especially today… cause I woke up to a pile of snow outside if you can believe that crap (it was 18 degrees Celsius just yesterday!). So ya, nothing to do but read all the live long day. I too noticed that a few scrips are at the 13 page mark, however, that’s apparently just the PDF including the title page as the first, so I have no issues with page limit on those scripts, best of luck everyone!

Its 0735 am Sunday morn and I'm ready to read a few.  A nice relaxing day after 3 nights of work. Do some gardening later, go for a 9 km walk as training for my trek then watch the Sainters take on the Cats at 320pm!

I’m about 25 scripts in (had some quality down time this weekend)… think I’ll lay off the reads/comments till there’s more hits on the other threads. If I missed yours, I’ll most likely get to it later this week. Good turn out, I say… some very unique ideas, concepts for the challenge.
