This 5 page limit is BRUTAL.


I'm not interested in coming up with a crazy twist or anything like that. I like my stories Simple. Straightforward. A to B. No C.

A lot of you peeps are going to HATE it! (especially Jeff, If I could I would just warn you now not to read it lol) -  but holy hell did I have fun writing this one lol probably the most fun I have had writing a short.

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

Submit it as is. Worst that could happen is lower marks in just the criteria category.

That would have been a smarter choice, yeah.

I thought all of those were going to be 5. One thing I refuse to write is a one-pager. I won't do it!

As great as my mystical, magical powers are, that is one which is beyond the scope of them. However, today is the first day I haven't had to work since April, so I'm happy to update this thread once an hour with a makeshift countdown clock, if you'd like. Not a problem.

That said, you were correct about the time. Currently 14 and a half hours to go.

They're all up to 5 pages long. Aw, Khamanna, you're an alum of MoviePoet. The 1-page contest in June was always my favorite.

Submitted.

I already known what some people are going to say...and it will be valid criticism...but it's a good script regardless, even if I do say so myself.
