Anyone got an entry into PAGE this year?

I threw a feature into the mix.

I was on the fence about entering, but screw it. I entered my TV pilot.

I entered two.

Baggage
Nun The Wiser

Best of luck to you all, fingers crossed for more SS successes!

Good luck, Dave and Rene, I'll be looking out for your names in the coming months.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Best of luck to you all, fingers crossed for more SS successes!

Thanks, Anthony. Not sure I'll get much traction on mine, but I'm sure Dave and Rene will have some success.

Quoted from Warren Thanks, Anthony. Not sure I'll get much traction on mine, but I'm sure Dave and Rene will have some success.

Hahaha! This is the first year I'm seriously entering anything and I'm still waiting for my Blacklist eval. We'll see how well it does, but my expectations are pretty low.

Not sure - these will both be first timers.

I got a lot out of the first one I got. Really looking forward to this one.

Yeah I entered The Killing Waters back in Feb

Quoted from stevie Yeah I entered The Killing Waters back in Feb

Good luck!

Cheers Dave!   Good luck to all the SS peeps

Feature?

Good luck!

I wanted to enter a feature, but it's just not ready. I'm trying to work on being patient with story, although this may be pushing it.

I entered a feature, a tv pilot and a short, so if I don't make it to the quarter-finals with any of those I'll be red-faced!

The feature was my f*ck-it script I wrote it during the first lockdown and was partially influenced by the lockdown. It's a thriller-comedy and those who have read it says it's completely bonkers, and it is but it's something I wanted to write. I don't expect this to progress in ANY competition but thought, what the hell.

The TV pilot I do have hopes for. I've spent 6 months writing it, but you never can tell in these things.

Best of luck to those who've entered and I hope the SS massive do us proud in the final stages.

Best of luck to you. Hopefully you'll slam all categories

Good luck, be great if you make it through in all the categories. That would be something else.

According to an email I've just received from them there have been 9447 entries this year! Sheesh! I won't be getting my hopes up!

Wow, that's insane. Can't really see my dumpster fire of a script progressing, but we will see.

1,665 TV Dramas. And only the top 10% go on to quarterfinals. That's some stiff competition.

Found out the same script only made it to quarterfinals in the Creative Screenwriting Unique Voices comp, so yeah, not getting my hopes up.

Drama:  1939

The largest group, yeah no chance for mine either haha

I'm looking for the right place to drop my new feature comedy.

Gotta get it out there.

Enter my TV pilot “bounty” which has done well in several comps but given the level of competition not expecting anything this time around.

Quoted from Gary in Houston Enter my TV pilot “bounty” which has done well in several comps but given the level of competition not expecting anything this time around.

It's been a while since I read that one. That's a good one.

The quarterfinalists are out.  My script "Bounty" snuck through into the quarterfinals.  Anyone else get in?

I missed it. Best of luck to everyone who moved on. =)

Rejected. I am usually on the bottom on the forum here so it was expected. I want to see how many rejections I can get this year. Yay! Congrats though Gary, that's awesome.

Congratulations, Gary!

I'm suddenly getting lots of love for a bonkers comedy/thriller feature I wrote during the first wave of the pandemic called True Colours. In the past two weeks it has won Euroscript (don't know if you guys have heard of that one but it's big in  the UK and Europe), got through to the quarter finals of Nashville and now the Page quarter finals , so I'm happy with those apples!

Wow!  Way to go Mark!  That's very impressive!  Good luck the rest of the way!

I'm pretty sure Dave went through as well!

Our Dave got through twice! Go Dave!

Dave got both his entries in the Quarter, crazy. Good job guys.

Thanks all - and congrats Garry.

I will do my best - lucky for me, Carson isn't judging

Congrats all who made it!!

Dave, I noticed Baggage got in. How different a version was this from the one I read when it was first posted? I remembered you saying you were going to retool it a bit and was wondering if you did.

Quoted from SAC Congrats all who made it!! Dave, I noticed Baggage got in. How different a version was this from the one I read when it was first posted? I remembered you saying you were going to retool it a bit and was wondering if you did.

Some tweaking - about 10% change I would say.

All your notes were incorporated by the way - so thanks!

Congrats to all that progressed!

Mine died in the ass which I kinda thought would happen.

Without me trawling through, any other SS Alumni make the grade?

Go get 'em, Dave!

P.S. Lazy me.
Go get 'em too, Mark and Gary!

Congrats, to our fellow Simply Scripts on the list! And for those that didn't advance, congrats on making it to quarters! For a contest like PAGE, that's still a damn good sign!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Yeah mine didn’t go through. Bit disappointing when you see some of the ridiculous titles of some that did lol. Anyway I’ll keep working on my new horror one

Congrats to all the SS peeps that went through!!

Well I didn't make it to the semis (boo!) but SS is still represented by Dave with Baggage!

So, who else from SS made the semis???

Quoted from SAC Sorry to hear that, Mark, but it’s awesome Dave moved on! Congrats Dave. So, who else from SS made the semis???

Thanks, Steven

Good luck in the next round Dave!

Btw, my husband had a customer last week who buys "lost" packages from UPS. He said it's hit and miss, but sometimes something great comes through. Anyway, it made me think of your script. I had no idea this kind of stuff was going on.

Wowza!!!!! Congrats, Dave!

Thanks guys and gals

Fantastic effort, Dave!

Quoted Text Bravo. Congrats, Dave. That's pretty damn consistent performance. But I just had a funny feeling about your script as I read it. Call it women's intuition or whathaveyou’s. Speaking for both of us -- all the best going forward.-A

WOOHOO! Dave! Yea, that's what I'm talkin' about. I just freakin' knew It when I reviewed it. Fantastic!

Congratulations, Dave! Hope it wins out.

James.

thanks, all- you're the best

Fingers and toes crossed, Dave.

Quoted from Pleb Now that is seriously impressive! Well done, Dave

Thanks

You're welcome mate. It's a solid script and an easy peasy read. I'm not surprised you made it to the finals.

Is the draft you entered the same as the one on your website?
