Pia has set out the details, page count, theme etc., on page 1 of this thread. The countdown timer for deadline is also at the top of the discussion page.
You're not finished writing yet, are you?
P.S. 'There will be a Review Page E-mailed 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'.
Thanks. Yes, I recently finished about an hour ago. I began an outline of the short script yesterday morning and began writing the actual script immediately after the criteria was announced, and was able to apply around half of the outline to this challenge.
I will probably do some revisions throughout the week if any new and worthwhile ideas pop into my head. At the moment I think my script is somewhat lacking in the comedic and also the romantic aspects of the challenge. Although I found it tough to create a cohesive short script when having a 5-10 page limit, but I enjoyed trying my darndest to accomplish that.
Rom-coms are my least favorite type of movies, so I googled and according to wikipedia, it's this.
Romantic comedy is a genre with light-hearted, humorous plotlines centered on romantic ideas, such as how true love is able to surmount most obstacles.
It took me five hours straight, though the first draft is now done.
Thanks for the advice, I will read it over. I have already read it over a couple times, and am sure there's room for improvement, I just don't know what revisions to make yet.

Just make sure you get rid of all your orphans, because otherwise, no matter how good it is, you'll be disqualified.
