I hope we have one soon because it will give me an excuse to write something. Lately, I've just been bashing my ideas.

The best part about it is that it slows down the rest of the boards and focuses everyones attention on shorts... so, it's kind of like any other day on the boards.

Quoted from tomson
Seems like the last two years the OWC has pretty much occured every three months. Jan, Apr, Jul and Oct.
Just wondering.
Oh, and if there is one... please, pretty please let it be comedy!
Yes, there will be a OWC. It will happen late January. I'm crazy behind in updating the site and I want to get the outstanding unproduced scripts up and the decks cleared before I delve into a OWC.
Comedy as the genre is great. The theme, as of yet, is undecided. Also, I don't know if I have a 'sponsor', yet - i.e., having someone lined up to audio produce the 'selected' script. Also, since the genre has already been decided upon, that means, of course, that that theme is going to come out of left field.
Stand by for more information.

AHAHAHAHA, smartasses! I sincerely hope that's true.

If the genre has not been decided then why did Don say it was?

I believe that Don was kidding, unless he is taking the challenge away from me.

I could be wrong, but I believe Don was kidding because I caused a stink last time when it was comedy.
I did apologize though...........

All I have to say is that no genre lends itself to the short film format quite like the historic epic. And if you can work in Moses all the better.

The genre should be Action. I don't think there has been an action OWC yet.

I don't know why people complain regarding what is chosen anyway, sure some of them have been too stupid to garner any seriousness but you get what you get like any "real" challenge.

It's not a challenge if it's something you're comfortable with now is it.
The idea of the OWC is to see if you could write a script based on someone else's idea. If a director needed a particular script in a week's time, could you do it? If it was meant to be easy, we'd be doing slasher shorts all the time.
