I wrote Deserter.
Got the idea late and decided to get it done asap as my birthday was the same day the scripts were due.
I read a lot of a fantasy book series I'm into right now and very little screenplays, so that would explain my heavily overwritten entry. Just got to writing it out and never really payed attention to how I was telling the story.
I did have a different ending planned out. It still would've played out as Hubert being attacked by those he deserted but that last image would've revealed that he was nowhere near water, the oxen were actually dead, and he was suffering from exposure before he succumbed. It may have made the ending a little better anyways.
His fellow travelers weren't intended to be zombies, I was going for a more "Wild West Mummy" type of deal. It's crazy how well preserved that mummy is. I thought it would make a good thing to haunt Hubert with with the others looking somewhat like that guy.
Thanks to all those who have commented.
After I read your example eldave1 I re-read my entry and seen just how overwritten it is. |
Glad the comment helped. It's an easy fix. |

Thanks to Pia and Don for a very memorable OWC. I enjoyed reading all the entries. Very talented writers here. And even though there was some heat, I didn't get burned this time.
Also, a special THANKS to Jeff for taking the time to give me a detailed review! I truly appreciate it. And thanks to everyone else for their feedback. Now, off to rewrite.
SEE YOU IN OCTOBER
I guess it's time to let the cat out of the bag.
My script was titled...
DIE, FLUFFY, DIE - AQUAPUSSY |

I just got back from vacation and had a lot of catching up to do here. Wow! Took me forever to run through all the reviews and 'friendly' banter. Kudos to the OWC team for putting on one of the most popular challenges in quite some time.
I wrote 'Tunnel Rat'. I thought I had summer heat factored in enough but was called out for it. Damn shame as I thought it had a chance. Thanks for the very kind comments (Dena) I received and the lengthy reviews (Jeff and Anon).
Writing sans dialog was very tough for me. I do need to challenge some of the unfilmable comments because I think most, if not all, are easily portrayed.
As for the beasts? I never wanted to show them. Stick with silhouettes and flashes, and let the reader/viewer conjure up what they are.
So many great entries, too. Great job and congrats to everyone. |

I shoulda known Wish You Were Here was Jeff's. A few things give it away in retrospect, the cocaine, the rum, the hot couple on the beach. And this: For some reason, this hit me rather hard and I actually had to go outside and have a smoke when i finished. |
Actually a true comment! When I finished writing this and then read it back, it did hit me hard for some reason. HA!! |

I think I know who wrote this and if I'm correct, I am shocked this person used a "non standard" title on the cover page, lol!
|
I had you pegged, Jeff. Welcome to the modern era of screenwriting. |

I wrote Too Hot. Putting in all those hours at work kept me thinking about work and some of the crazy customers. Thanks to all who took time to read it. I still don't know who wrote my favorite one. They haven't outted themselves yet. |

Figures some of my faves were written by some of my faves. I wrote The Cave. The idea grabbed me and I ran with it, knowing I was unlikely to pull it off but I still had to try. I'm pleased with it but it definitely needs more work. I'll wait for the winners to be announced to say congrats. |

Dream Weaver, Thanks, Bill. How are you man? Been too long.
I saw two scripts I knew were yours. They were very Brit and both contained the word “whilst.”
Cheers |
