1) don't worry about shorter scripts - if this what works for someone, then better to be in than not
2) as this is trying to be low cost why don't we allow...no shark - it can be about a shark etc but not actually seen. A film can be sexual and erotic but have no sex.
This would allow lower budget variations. The costs of real shark footage or trying to be fake, as well as out on boats, could be very high.
3) I also think this should allow comedy - at the moment it seem excluded
Thoughts?
I'm not worried about shorter scripts. Some of the shorter ones might even show Jeff mercy. He's uisually out in three pages anyway I wouls still like to see a goal of at least ten, but like I said earlier, if a scribe gets in only nine, so be it. But since you are not the only one to ask, I will lower a required page count to eight to twelve. That's it for the blue light specials.
I never said you had to show the shark. One could treat it as if...you know...the shark isn't working and we get only gli,pses or yellow barrells. Or The Reef where not much of the sharks were seen but they were out there somewhere.
Sticking to my guns on the genre of coimedy. It's fine if a character has a funny line or does something to break tension even for a moment. It just shouldn't be the genre is all.
Done and ready to submit. I will say this. If anybody knows anything about surfing there is an actual break out in Hawaii called Jaws. Some of the biggest waves in the world break over there. Dangerous and unpredictable the spot was named after the movie. Fitting place for a quasi sequel no?
It's not even been 24hrs...and less than one when i revised the page count... Tell ya what Cam. Reread what you have, make sure everything's good as you can get it. Unless you are just pullin' our anchors.
Thieves stuck in a narrow loch? Their stolen produce enters the water creating a super Shark? How to get off the boat onto shore without being bitten by this crazy shark-thing would fit the challenge?
This may be the wrong attitude to have, and no disrespect to meant towards Darren or anybody else but ultimately I'm gonna write whatever the heck I wanna write and if it goes through then great. If not, then I'll just submit it after the challenge.
Viola. Everybody's happy as a pig in slop.
Edit: I should also point out I'm having fun with this particular theme. Good job, DJS.

Great point.... my vomit draft hit dead on 12 pages. I was expecting it to go quicker than that before I started, but was grateful I managed to keep it on target in the end.
We cannot tame those sharks for serious acting, not? Bad thing in case of budget. Damn sharks.
For bringing up new stuff, with no budget, the only way I see is - the shark killer. The shark killer's costume is a plush shark head. His weapon is a hatchet looking like a fin.
Is he rogue? Yes. Can he swim? Probably.
Maybe I turn this reaper loose...
Seriously-
I'm interested who wins most stories- sharks or people? I bet on draw!
