An interesting batch of scripts so far - good job to all. Five rounds, tough parameters and you're churning out some solid stuff. Hats off to all.

Woohoo! Done. A lot of talent on this site. Think about how many shorts were written in the last five weeks and how few duds there were. For this tourney to be 'all in fun' and just for bragging rights, everyone brought there A-game.

Nice work, everyone. Proud to be associated with this group. Even when I'm cussing someone out for a scathing review, it's usually warranted.

Is it just me, probably is, but I'm gonna miss not trying to find a covincing narrative to fit Sean's brutal criteria, keep it under 5 pages... oh and write it in 72 hours.

It's been a fun!

Despite a house full of visiting relatives - managed to get through them all - way to grind it out mates. Huge kudos to all of you making it until the end.

You should have received a PM from Don with a heads-up that the Round 5 scripts are up... that has the link to the scorecard.

Just for a change of pace, I remembered to put in my email address the first time this week.


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

Am I right in thinking that voting closes in approx. 4.5 hours?

Interesting. So no choice for Paul?  Hmmm.

And there were 4 you didn't choose, so one of those is yours, by default (unless you're doing a fake out).


Some of my scripts:

Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly
I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner
The Gambler (short) - OWC winner
Skip (short) - filmed
Country Road 12 (short) - filmed
The Family Man (short) - filmed
The Journeyers (feature) - optioned

Warren, you think Hank's back in?
I see no reviews...

I'm with you re  The Cold Invasion. I'd be mighty surprised if that's not Rene's.

Looking forward to an OWC now.

I have been known to do a fake out, I've done it in this very tourney

It’s all a bit of fun.

No guess for Paul this round, I really struggled to see his writing in any of the scripts. I know it will be one of the better ones, but there is usually a trait of his I can spot, this time it wasn’t clear to me. It could very well be one of the better scripts I’ve already guessed, I just think it’s more than likely not, who knows  

To be clear, I don’t know any for sure!!
