I hope I can finish mine in time. I love these OWC even when I get told my script didn't fit the challenge. LOL

I've said it before but I'll say it again, the OWC's help me produce my best work.

Strangely, everyone gets down during the reading period because pretty much everyone is told their script sucks. Like Libby said, just ignore.

So I have 6 animated short scripts to do a final polish on for a Producer in Saudi Arabia and a treatment for a feature for a Director in Italy that has a deadline of 10 days away and not locked the story yet...

But the lure of the OWC is too strong!

Script written in 3 hours, gonna give it a quick pass and then submit it... apologies in advance for

a) Somehow misreading the requirements and missing a key/important.
b) The typos and/or spelling mistakes.
c) The orphans (I actually don't give a shit)
d) The wonky plot logic or timing issue I will not spot until the readers point it out to me.

Good luck to all who enter... I will fit the reading in somehow!

Not much going on then, eh, Ants?
How you consistently come up with the goods (3 hours?)'is beyond me. I think I've managed that twice in all the OWCs I've done. Must be your secret data base.  

I love that you say you missed a crucial bit.

...

Zack, you in?

And I think I'm in, but what's really fun is getting to read all of the different short scripts.

Libby - yep, I do have an 'Ideas' database, c350 ideas, snippets and thoughts some more fully formed than others... so I always start there and see if there's anything that fits the parameters or can be molded to fit.

I'm glad I did it last night though, a Canadian producer messaged overnight with a request for a novel adaptation, of course also with a deadline that clashes with the others...

I'm not sleeping until May!

Do we include a minimum of 1 sin, or can it only be 1?

I seem to be accidentally including quite a few of them lol


Feature

42.2

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:
1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it

You may use more than one, but make sure at least one plays a dominant role. For example, if one character eats five burgers and then nothing else happens about indulging or overdoing, doesn't mean you managed to make gluttony your theme. At least one sin needs to play a role in the story. If that makes sense.
