Ok i wrote... when god owns a motel... .. ... yeah the one with the predictable ending and over use of ellipsis..

I thought i was being creative puttjng dantes inferno in a motel and yes i should have changed the ending...it was supposed to be modernized which is why i didnt use all the characters from the poem as michael pointed out.. i also wanted to keep it under budget

Thanks gotta go back to work.. the joys of being an electrician in a storm

Quoted from Dreamscale
Very impressive, Felipe.  Great work!

But why did you have your male character butt ass nude the entire script?.

As general advice to each and every writer in the world, if you're gong to have nude characters, for my sake, please make them female and sexy as Hell.  


What happened was I started writing a script and when I was 6 pages in, on Friday afternoon, I decided to go with another idea. So I backtracked all the way to the sex scene and started over. Both stories had the same characters so it worked out. The problem is that I completely forgot to put clothes on them.

I also think a lot of people didn't understand the ending. The last 2 pages were written with 15 minutes left to submit so I had to rush it (and it showed). The original idea was that Gabriel was not an angel at all but an agent from hell sent to give the couple their final placement test. If they gave up their lives, they'd go to heaven and if they gave up the baby's they'd go to hell.

Hell in this case turns out to be being stuck with each other for all eternity in a dumpy motel in the middle of a hurricane.

It didn't come off clearly in the script, so in the end, that is not what I expect anyone to interpret it as.

Turns out you and I had similar ideas for this, Jeff. =D



'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

The worst part of it all is that the only thing on TV is endless re-runs of "The Nanny". That's a scary ending... =)

Yes, we did.  Maybe I should have had Kimmie May get naked and do some jigs with Lew?  

You did good, Felipe, especially if it was as rushed as you said.  I know how that feels as you see time slipping away and you know you have to somehow bring everything to a conclusion.

My original idea involved a time machine shower instead of a demon baby, but they were still Satan Jr's parents.

Quoted from RJ

Who wrote The Ledger - I loved it.


That one's mine. The feedback was spot on, I was too ambitious with it and didn't have the full week to work it all out, but I'm glad a few of you sees the potential at least.

I voted for One of God's Special Children as well, not really surprised to learn Jeff wrote it. Great stuff!

I also voted for Lost In The Storm and Procella. Lots of potential in those as well.

Big reveal time here! Here is the reason for the October 2012 OWC and it is also the reason why I could not submit my entry.

A while ago, on a Friday night, I was chatting with Michael Cornetto on Skype. As usual, like a good friend, he sat through and listened to my drunken ramblings and I don't remember exactly how this came about, but that is when we came up with this idea. I had just finished shooting TTD and I swore that I would never shoot another film again. mostly because I really hate the production part of it. especially pre-production. we came up with this idea, that maybe we could coproduce a film. Michael would do most of the stuff that I hate and I would shoot the film here in Florida. We came up with the idea of asking people from SS to write short stories that we would weave together into a feature.  Then we came up with the idea of doing it in a rundown motel. after having some issues with the difficult locations I had chosen for TTD, I wanted it to be in a contained area where I could have better control over the environment. especially sound and lighting. since I am also funding this myself, it had to be rather low budget. We asked Don what he thought and he thought it was a great idea. So, there you have it.

we know this challenge was hard, but now you know why. we will meet this weekend and discussed the scripts that we are interested in. Hopefully, now you also understand why we were looking at the scripts differently than the average reader. We had to look for scripts that would fit our purposes, not necessarily scripts that won the popular vote. when we decide which scripts we are interested in, we will contact the writers.

And, if you thought I was kidding about my mime and the puppet story, you were wrong. I did write that script and I will post it soon and hope to get feedback on it. Michael has not read it yet, so there is a good possibility that he hates it.

Anyway, thank you all for participating. I think all of you did a great job on such a short notice with such a difficult challenge.

If you have any questions regarding our plans for the feature film, feel free to ask here.

You... you used us?  Like ANIMALS?

Really cool idea, Michael and Pia.  Might I ask where you shoot in Florida?  I live in Titusville and it's weird to see another person in the good ole Sunshine State.

I want to know who wrote Will the Real Demon Please Rise. I actually really enjoyed it toward the end.

Forgive me if the writer already owned up and I missed it.
