When are the writers and writer’s choice revealed? Says the 2nd of February.
Doesn’t affect me, just out of interest.
I just sent the votes to Sean to tally. I delayed a bit as one of the writers was out of the country and I wanted to make sure there was ample time to respond.
I know everyone has their own tastes etc. but there's always one script which I can't figure out the appeal at all. I even go back and re-read it to see if I was just not with it the first time and I still don't see what it is people like about it.
I should say that there's also usually the opposite. A script I LOVE which everyone else hates.
I'm not going to name scripts as I think that's unfair, but does anyone else have this issue?
There's one script in this challenge that got surprising number of likers. Actually all the rest loved it except for me. I'm kind of ashamed of myself a bit, thinking maybe I misread or didn't read it with an open mind. I'll give it another go. But to your question - yes, that happens to me too, most people loves it but me and I feel like an outcast in cases like these.
While we are waiting for the names to be revealed, I just wanted to see if I'm the only one who has this experience when reviewing the entries.
I always read the script before reading the reviews. Usually, in every OWC there's one script which is written fine, no problem there, but I just don't think works as a story, or will make a good short movie at all for various reasons. Yet then I look at the reviews and loads love it!

None of those work as shorts for me.
For the rest of your comment, don't forget, you need a good title that enagages you your 10% of potential viewers.
More than that, 10% is a blast, it means millions or in short script language it means 80.000-150.000 viewers something are interested in that material---
What I mean, don't go into thinking objective, you can like what you like, it doesn't matter. If a script hits the wide target... or better said, having "a" target audience at all is what brings you fucking 3 %, which is Monster when regarding 10 billion people or 3% of short film interested people etc...
Early on, I thought Mark wrote that one (based on something he'd said), but then I changed my mind. My guess was Broken Kingdom.
So you know this for sure?
No background information, I swear. Read to page 4, boom, this is him. Perhaps I'm an idiot if he's not, but I wouldn't bet against it now. Style is clear. As in the dystopian SF he has written where the prot had this certain gadget bracelet producing holograms and information.
@ No, clearly not, haven't you recognized my concerns about the challenge
Oh, right. Yes, I do remember. At the time of your original post, I was thinking I would not enter for the very reasons you stated. Then, a few days before the deadline, I had an idea and wrote it. Yes, I read them all. My favorite besides mine? To answer that, I'd have to say which one ISN'T mine.
