Congrats, Dave. Some fine placing on the podiums.

I'll admit that I'm pretty bummed Night Siren didn't score better with 100% positive comments but that's what I get for having hopes and dreams. Yeah, I'm a bit shell shocked.

Yours is a terrific script, John. Night Siren Was one of my top picks. I agree on the Sin City, Love Death and Robots type graphic style.

Thanks all. Appreciated


Dave,

If you would PM me an address where one might receive a standard business envelope about the size and weight and thickness of a very, very detailed, six to eight page, single spaced letter detailing all the reasons you should not be a screenwriter (with footnotes).

Thanks,

Don

Yay!

Congratulations, Dave! Very well deserved. Unsaid was a brilliant story.

Congratulations, James! Yours was indeed a well-crafted piece of screenwriting.

Congrats, Anthony, Marnie, Ben, and all the writers who entered this OWC. Great work!

Special mention to John. "The Night Siren" was the best for me (no disrespect to any other script intended).

Congratulations Dave, very well done. Have to admit I thought your entry was the strongest, just . There were some stories in the challenge I really enjoyed.
Mucho kudos to everyone who entered, I thought it was a varied and interesting exercise with some great dialogue and unusual visuals (a Willy Wonka statue made of testicles).
Here’s to the next one.

Well done everyone.  


If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.
