A question, should we proceed with rewites? I think my Wispy could use one for sure lol


It's yours, what's stopping you from rewriting?

Quoted from Scar Tissue Films
So the absolute final is between Scottish Lullaby and Captive.

Both very different approaches:

Scottish Lullaby a classic, poetic tale mixing Industrial and Traditional landscapes and science with myth, Captive a more modern take on horror with a powerful ending.

One has perhaps a wider appeal, in that it could play in festivals other than just horror ones, whilst the other is more confined to its genre.

Both are superb scripts:










But my choice is....






Captive.





Congrats to everyone who entered and commiserations to those that didn't make it this time. Honestly the standard was incredibly high and I can't wait to see the scripts develop.

Been a brilliant experience for me and I hope everyone has taken something from it.

All the best,

Rick.







Congratulations to both these finalist authors!!!

Very interesting to see how these two scripts were so very different.

Well I really appreciate all the reads I got. I'm really new at this. And it is my first completed script. I plan on learning a lot more here as time goes by. I'll attempt to respond to everyone that read it. And hopfully give a clue where I was coming from.

I'm guessing Michael Cornetto.



Much thanks, Rick.  Gotta give you credit.  You displayed nothing but patience and professionalism throughout this whole ordeal.   Two qualities that are without parallel for an up-and-coming Director.

Congrats to the Captive writer. Hopefully he/she's and SS regular. Not an implant from other sites just because of this challenge.

Can't wait for the reveal.

James

THE END.

Captive and Them were so well written, looking forward to reading some of their work. Godstick and White Women were also the work of talented veterans.

Fade out, James, not The End. I've learned that this week!
