^Definitely!

And the theme is -- Double hypens.

A double hyphen walks into a bar and says " Bartender gimme a beer and make it quick -- I gotta dash outta here".

Quoted from NickSedario What's the odds of you doing something that's never been done before and announce the theme & genre five hours early? Get this party started.

Chomping at the bit, aren't we?

I almost did....

Quoted from DarrenJamesSeeley Yes. Back To Futurw II. Now what does that have to do with the OWC? Well...according to the possible future... I'll elaborate on Friday...

The Tumblr post also points out that for a movie to be considered a "feature film" by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, American Film Institute and British Film Institute, it must be at least 40 minutes long. So "even if your film is 40 straight minutes of a rubber shark floating quietly in a bathtub, it still fulfills what I am asking of you in the challenge." And this is a challenge to preserve the space-time continuum, so you know it's important.

So this is the challenge: 40 straight minutes of a rubber shark floating quietly in a bathtub. Limited locations, no special effects. But you can turn the lights on and off if you think it'll whip things up a little.

First of all, let's put to rest a few things.

Regardless of what script is written and length therof, how such a filmmaker chooses to film it if they film it is up to them.   They cou;d go ASylum or RHI budget if they desire. It's not my problem, and it won't be yours.

I do in fact know of some low budget filmmakers who are attempting to get fan-films off the ground (or in the water) via kickstarter. He's not having much luck. Last I checked he's raised around a thousand. (I know of him due to to him optioning two of my short scripts which he never got around to doing) I wish him the best of luck.

But what if other filmmakers want to give it a go...? They might need to find some existing scripts, right? Or just have a shark themed story in general?

BTW, Star Wars started off with an Episode IV, Bill Cosby (sadly) had a Leonard Part 6 and if a film wanted to call itself 'Jaws 19' who's gonna stop 'em?

^ Don't forget Surf II…or Thankskilling 3, the movie that skipped its own sequel...

Did I miss something?

What's with these Tumblr quotes?

Has the challenge been announced already?  I'm confused...

The Tumbler quotes was from a Jaws / Back To The Future fan who made a case for filmmakers out there to crank out 15 Jaws movies by October 2015. I myself didn't take much notice until one such ultra low budget filmmaker wanted to rise to the challenge.

The OWC will be along the same ground. The catch is although the OWC will be called 'Jaws 19" or something like that, I'm putting in some guides where it will be in name only and not fan-fic although if one wanted to tip Harry's bad hat and shout out to the coastal resort town of ol' Amity (something that could be easiliy excised- it won't be a requirement) that'll be fine.

Sounds fishy  

An OWC that could be connected to my alltime favorite movie?

I have a busy week coming up but may find some time, lol

A Jaws short?  Really?

Hmmm...I don't think I quite understand, but I'll await the actual announcement and we'll take it from there.

Jesus Christ! Sorry, I think I just saw a cockcroach.

What's all this gumph about Jaws? Didn't Heretic just do one of them?

What time's this thing start? And where are my trousers?

It starts....right about now...
