Posting this for Warren since I got the maths wrong:

Challenge: Write a mockumentary.

Genre: Comedy… but any extra genres are allowed as long as the script has comedic undertones.

Script length: 5 to 10 pages

Characters: Unlimited

Criteria: There is no restrictive criteria for this challenge as the challenge itself is to write a mockumentary; that alone will be tough as this genre is quiet unique and comes with its own quirks.

Scripts due to SimplyScripts.com/owc on
Friday 20th 13:00 AEST (Friday 20th 11:00 am EST)

+++++
THE USUAL:

This isn't a contest - it's a challenge. There are no official prizes.

You can revise your script as many times as you wish up until the deadline.

Do not put your real name(s) on your script; this is an anonymous challenge. However, please use your real name(s) when submitting your script.

After the challenge closes you can either have your script removed or resubmit your script with your name on it.

(Don's rule)
Participants must read and comment/review in the discussion board at least 10 other scripts submitted or your work will be removed (no harm, no foul. I understand that live gets in the way.)

Please put ©2021 on your title page.

Any questions about the challenge, post them here.

There will be a review page emailed to you for you to score the scripts you read. Please only give scores to scripts that you have read.

Please do not rate scripts in your review.

Funny! Dena and I were just talking this morning about the Charlotte 48hr challenge we're writing for tonight. We both agreed that we'll be okay as long as the director doesn't draw rockumentary!!!  

This is going to be a challenging challenge. Comedy is always subjective.

I have an idea, but hoping to get a good idea before I start writing.

oh boy.. just wrote a mocumentary with Feedback Addiction. Another one!? I just don't know

I want to write for this! Let's see... I'm just scared I jinxed it by announcing my thoughts here now

Come on, Kham! We've missed you on the last few challenges. Now that you've shown the least bit of interest, you've no choice but to enter!

Thanks for getting this up, Don.

So yes, pretty simple challenge, or is it?

I absolutely love mockumentaries so I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.

Any questions just fire away, but as mentioned this really isn't too restrictive.

Here's an example of one I wrote a few years ago...

It cracked me up, that one. You did a stellar job.

Oh, jeez... I don't know. Definitely outside the box. Which is good on the one hand.
Never attempted one before, that's all I'll say for now.

I think I got it. Found a theme song, which helps me get into the groove - https://youtu.be/YX_C-b-L13s

This one might get me fired from amateur, anonymous screenwriting.

I got the theme and some bits that are funny in my mind! Now for the story, ending and stuff

Just think this needs highlighting.

For sure, does not need to be full blown comedy... think sci-fi, western, horror, essentially any story that can be documented by someone else. I think a lot of the comedy comes from the awkwardness of the situations.

All the more reason to bust one out :p

We need a story?
