When we all go to Pia's premier....Stevie's gotta wear his short jeans and Jeff has to wear his spandex haha
Two shows in one!
Part of me wouldn't fit in those beautiful Spandex!!!!
I've got to find a picture...absolutely hilarious. Of course, to make the outfit complete, I usually wore a wig as well. Unreal...what was going through my peebrain? I did look pretty fucking cool, though!

Congrats to Rene and Dena, great to see both my number one and two scripts there although I did vote for "The Ledger" at the end of it all which I think has lots of potential.
How Jeff's script got in there over "Skiptrace" or a "A Light in Room Twelve" is beyond me? Must have been a sympathy vote.
Of course I'm kidding...good on you, Jeff for making the top three.
And well done to everybody who threw out a script on what was a difficult challenge for sure.
I do not envy Pia and Michael on this one. It seems like a difficult task to bring all this together for a feature. Good luck to you both and I wish you all the best.
Congratulations, in no particular order to Dena, Jeff, and Rene. And a personal nod of appreciation to David M Troop, dtroop506. Nice writing, people. Very nicely well done.
Technically, Ray might feel a little used. Afterall, he has already done all your pre-production work for you.
This is a neat idea, though, Pia and Michael.
No. I don't feel used in the least little bit. I ran through my own evaluation process to maintain context throughout the challenge to give my own grades for the purpose given: To produce a low budget + one location short. I didn't select the prettiest literature in screenplay format, a personal pet peeve of mine regarding how what seems like many votes were cast for this go round. Is that how you vote for government positions? The candidate "whose personality you like the most" and with no regard to the economy and social issues? Loathesome.
Honestly, I believe this gang-bang approach should be employed more often and consciously. Pia & Michael have PLENTY of work cut out for them. What I did was just provide a single faux-producer's cursory analysis. When Pia gets the time to toss up her estimated production cost breakdown you guys will develop an even better idea of how someone who's paying for something views things differently than someone just making sh!t up outta their heads.
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.
Brilliant. I wish every OWC had this pragmatic approach to it.
Best of luck weaving some of these together. They're all over the place. Maybe the V/H/S film could serve as some sort of laticework for quilting a few of these together. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2105044/
I look forward to the product... whenever it's hot off the DVD press.
