Congratulations and well done to everyone who’s actively participated in this challenge. Thanks to the organizers for doing a great job. It’s been a lot of fun as per usual.

Is this my acceptance speech...







No, it is not.

I’m incredibly flattered to be suggested as a possible author for Captive, but to find my entry you need to look among the non-vote getters.

Quoted from leitskev
There was a request by a moderator in the middle of his announcement process that was a little unsettling. It kind of had the tone of a suggestion to pick one of the regulars. But I seriously doubt that influenced the process.


Oh, gosh.  I had no idea it would come off like that.

I did not mean it that way, but I can certainly see what you mean.

Producing a film is a thickly collaborative process, and my only point was that "all things being equal" between a few scripts, Rick might want access to the names so he could know who he might be working with down the road.

And even then it was just a suggestion.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

I look forward to the rewrite Wonka. I recall some good things in that story. Had some questions too, will be cool to see what you come up with. Send it to me if you want an early read.

No harm, no foul Bert. I ran a forum for my bar, and have been involved with many forums. The moderators here do a fantastic job. Keep up the good work!

Hmmm.

EDIT:
Ok I'm going to guess c m hall.  My first impression was that it wasn't her because it wasn't as out there (in a good way) as her stuff usually is.   However, the deer being partially eaten is sort of similar to her OWC entry with the goo.  So I think she is a possible candidate.

Well, counting out all the "deniers", those who have admitted to something else, those I already know, and those whom "it can't" be, the list is narrowed.

Then looking through those who participated in the reviewing, and taking a guy who generally dabbles in horror anyway, I will guess:  JC Shadow.

I think yours is a definitely legit point and why it's popular to rail against cronyism in any position of responsibility.
Often leaders feel more comfortable picking a team from people they know or from references they trust rather than starting a floor to ceiling all out audition.
Don't even get me started on "statistical diversity in the workplace". Ugh.

People are strange.

Their work habits and abilities are huge variables.

When I first read Captive I thought it might be Keaton's, because I've read a good feature script of his that is in the same genre.
