Read and commented, and again the standard here is pretty high in a challenge that I think threw a few people out of their comfort zones... thanks for running it Yuvraj!
Challenge: Depict a harsh, realistic, and emotionally stirring estranged relationship between the characters. NO GORE. NO EXTREME VIOLENCE.
Genre: Open. If comedy (of any sub-genre), it has to be sarcastic which highlights the tension.
Script length: Write 1-5 pages of properly formatted script.
Characters: Two main characters (between spouses [please go beyond this one], friends, siblings, colleagues, etc.)
Criteria: You HAVE to include a THIRD VARIABLE which can be a PERSON OR an OBJECT. The third variable can be the cause of the whole situation or the solver of it - it is entirely up to you. But it must be a VITAL part of the story.
Here's the BOMBSHELL --> The THIRD VARIABLE will be present for only ONE PAGE of the entire script.
One-page disclaimer: If you introduce the third variable on any page of your script, it has to be done and completed on that page only. NEVER to be SEEN again. So it's better if you introduce the third variable at the beginning of the page.
Of course, you can mention the third variable in your dialogs.
Locations: As many as you need. (Although, budget-wise you should aim for a single location)
Pages: 1,
