October '07 One Week Challenge Final Word.

Thanks to everyone to participated in the October One Week Challenge this month.  The OWC isn't a contest, however I recognize that as writers, it helps to fill out your CV if you have a contest win or even are selected as a finalist.  I asked each of the participants to read three scripts and select the one script they enjoyed the most.  I then asked a "Star Chamber" (actually a Septagon Chamber) of writers to select their faviorate scripts.  Between those two lists and my list of favoriates five scripts were selected.  I then sent those five scripts to iScript where they made the final selection.  

As always, thanks everyone for participating.  I truly enjoyed reading each and every script submitted.

Now, with that being said, Listen to Gourdy by Antonio Gangemi & Aimee Parrott  (Ereckson)

Tony & Aimee,
Like our boys over there in Fenway Park, great job on Gourdy!

Lots of great and memorable stories and characters in this challenge, would love to see the whole batch set up in some kind of bizarre pumpkin oriented film festival.

Well done by everyone involved, and thanks for all the lessons learned.

Good job everybody.  Most of the scripts I read were very good, so Gourdy had some pretty tough competition.

Congratualations.


Please, read Elvis The Goat or Cold Turkey.  Thanks in advance and I'll make sure to review your script in exchange.

Congrats Aimee and Tony!

Gourdy was a great piece of pie and deserved the Blue Ribbon!

And to everyone else...excellent job this OWC - there wasn't a script I didn't enjoy reading.
