I hope you do!
You and Zack finishing a feature. And both of you horror aficionados.
I want to read some great techno-horror scripts.

Thanks for that - one to ponder

These last two OWC’s Remind me of the old movie poet style comps, which I like.

Best of luck to all.

I would expect quite a few entries for this one.

There was one like this on Tournament. Sci-fi plus horror. People were complaining. This one is even stricter - you added future to this.
I'll see if I'll think up something but not likely. To me hte combination is not easy although I'm a fan of Black Mirror. But it's hard to write something like Black Mirror. The third seasons flopped in my opinion btw.

ANd they don't even have horror in every episode.

However it's going to be fun to read. Interesting to see what people come up with.

Oh, completely different from Movie Poet. See, we do a six page maximum, rather than a 5 page max.  And you only have a week, not a month.

And the 'official name' of the One Week Challenge is Moving Picture Verse Writertm

Very different.

Sunday morning, and I'm up.

Kham, throw ideas around. You don't have to copy Black Mirror. And you're right, they're not all horror Eps anyway.
Those links are for inspiration only.

You also don't need to go big with your idea.

You could have a very simple idea about a smart home device listening in to a couple's conversation, mix in some infidelity, some mounting paranoia, leading to horror/scares. Or a baby monitor. Or, you could have a home science experiment gone wrong ala The Fly. You could have a stalker story using a Drone. An engineered virus idea might be topical, a vaccine trial idea?

As long as there are some scares and there's a technical component and it's set sometime in the future you're good to go.

Zack's recent short Horror picked up so quickly on SS recently, reminded me that starting out filmmakers love to produce horror.

I originally had the idea of RomanticSciFi in the vein of Eternal Sunshine and Her, but thought the scary element might open up more ideas.

I think there are potentially lots of ideas here but like I said they don't have to be big ideas.

I'm the worst at writing horror.  The scary part is how bad it is.  I'll try to come up with something. Maybe Alexa and Siri hunting each other down in cyberspace in a winner take all for Queen of the Internet.

Now that I think about it -- no one can have that idea!  It's mine, you hear?  All mine!

Also, notice my new avatar?  Mine got here fast!  Thanks again, Don!


Some of my scripts:

Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly
I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner
The Gambler (short) - OWC winner
Skip (short) - filmed
Country Road 12 (short) - filmed
The Family Man (short) - filmed
The Journeyers (feature) - optioned

Congrats on the mug, Gary!

Finished my feature. Only took me a couple of years. Lol

But now that I've got that weight lifted off my shoulders, I'm ready to make up for missing the last OWC and come out swinging in this one.

Yep, great mug-shot, Gary!

And yay, Zack!
Looking forward to reading it.

I'm looking forward to an entry from Jeff, too.
