The only reason I ask is because my biggest problem is that without steps like that, I will surely leave 120 pages for the last day.
Ah! You have to commit or not when we open the 7wc. If you don't commit you can still write the screenplay but if you do commit then everyone else participating will make sure you live up to your obligation (or else).
Seriously, though, I think the closest I've ever gotten to finishing a script in 7 weeks was when I had 42 pages done then the file got corrupted and deleted.
I'm not going to enter this time. See, I entered last time, too. That file, about 26 pages, got erased when I was forced to reformat my computer. I don't even want to know what'll happen if I press my luck a third time.
I'll have give the 7WC a go, sounds difficult though, well for me it will be but hopefully writing a feature under a deadline will push me to get one done...I hope.
How is the theme/genre picked? Is it a vote or something?
Hopefully Don just drops this on us tomorrow night without the week of build up. Would net a smaller crowd. I hate trying to read 38 scripts based on the same theme. Think I only got through twenty in the last one...
There will still be a 7wc after the OWC and for the 7wc we will pick one of the Ink Tip requests as our genre/topic. Just so you know.
I wonder if it will be something like this:
Company B **
We are looking for completed feature-length erotic thriller scripts. We are not looking for late night Cinemax or softcore scripts but rather more sexy thrillers such as “Femme Fatale,” “Basic Instinct,” “Chloe,” “The Housemaid” and “Body Heat,” where the sexuality can be displayed but sex scenes are not the focus of the script.
Budget will not exceed $2 million. Both WGA and Non-WGA writers may submit.
Imagine THAT for a 7wk challenge. Hey, after all that sex and murder on the train game awhile back, folks can do this blindfolded...
