Quoted from Grandma Bear

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.  


Awesome, thanks for the clarification.

Now if we can make having a shit story the 8th deadly sin, I am all set

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

Oh my god, ten pages got eaten up so fast. This is not fair. I hate dialogue. My old demon who wants to cram too much story in small space is back with vengeance. Is it too late to write a different concept?

The love story element to this challenge is going to be very interesting.
I hope people can nail it.

So far I got nothing.
John might be stuck in sloth mode & gluttony, but so far I've got nothing but envy for those approaching the finishing line.

My head injury has made me sluggish, but I finally had an idea yesterday. Got two pages down. Who knew a story about unicorns in love and wrath could ever make sense as a story.

I wanted to use an extra "sin", so I made it a love triangle by adding a sloth.

Im not going to be in this one.
As it is, it looks like there's a nibble one one of my short scripts from the past, so I wouldn't be able to read much anyway, although I still might read one or two.  Hopefully this one will pan out. I never thought being asked to a revision would be a good sign...but i suppose it is.

best of luck to the peps who enter the owc

This one was fun. Really interested in seeing everyone else’s entries!

What’s the one sin you want to see in a script? For me, it would be gluttony. I can see that going so many different ways.

It's not looking good, folks. Multiple ideas that I just couldn't get to work the way I wanted.

Why aren't self-pity and woe sins?!

Congrats to all who entered! Get a feeling there’ll be a nice turnout and will try to read a few. My entry stalled at the gate. Actually, never made it to the gate. Good luck all!!

Had a blast with this one!  

I'm curious to see how some people tackled Wrath. Gluttony should deliver some good entries as well. So exciting!  

Sean... Your fuckin' avatar, Dude. It's got me over here crying. LMAO
