Odd but interesting character(s) take refuge from a hurricane in a beat-up motel and are forced to make a choice between good or evil in order to survive the night.
Each character must have some history involving a supernatural event in their lives that factors into their choice. Genre is open. This is a micro-budget short, so no destruction of the motel, no children or animals and minimal special effects.
You must write one script (properly formatted) between 6 to 12 pages (courier 12 point font) on this month's theme. Submit your script here. The script must be received by Friday, October 19th at 11:59 pm e.d.t.. Please do not put your real name on your script, however, please use your real name and real e-mail address on the submission form. (After the exercise closes you can either have your script removed or resubmit the script with your name on it). Please put "(c) Copyright 2012" on your script.
One script per person.
This is a free exercise. This isn't a contest. However, one script will be selected to be audio performed by iScript.com.
We've been very lucky to have iScript sponsor the OWC for the last several years by providing an audio performance of one script from each of the challenges. Check out some from past years:
After a mini-confrence call where we all got toasted and I had a wench/call girl on my lap drinking pumpkin beer, And in outer space orbiting that crystal planet discovered ealier this week...I dediced that I will think up something for the OWC for all of you to read and weep, then wonder if I was, in fact, distracted from the wenches and had one too many pumpkins in my booze. I said I was drinking pumpkin coffee, but none believed me.
In any case, let me say this. If one were to film this omn a "mimimal budget" remember poor man's process. You don't have to show the actual hurricane. If you did, I - and no one else - should knock you for it. There's always stock footage.
I'm glad everyone else likes the challenge as I'm completely lost at the moment.
And....where's all the silly questions. You know, does the motel have to open? or can I use a typhoon rather than a hurricane? And can I include a goat called Phyllis? Usual stuff.
