Quoted from Matthew Taylor
Hard to pick a winner, to be honest, could be any of about 5/6.


Ditto, my thoughts. All are pretty well written but five of them are brilliant.

My ballot is in. The entries were pretty good, but there were 2 that stood out to me -- I rated them based on the overall quality of the script as a stand alone (if I had just read it w/ out knowing it was part of a challenge), the quality of the writing while also considering the rules of the challenge such as budget (low, realistically can be filmed on a modest budget) and creativity (how the writer took the premise and made it original and something of their own).

Looking forward to guessing and seeing who wrote what!

Voted.  Enjoyed the reads and reading the reviews of all the scripts. I love how everyone is honest but they also try to be constructive.

Well, apart for Jeff of course but it's Jeff and that is expected! Saying that, he kind of liked mine and that has only happened twice I think!

Everyone except me?  Really?  I wasn't honest?  I wasn't constructive?  Seriously?

WOW...why do I continue to waste my time reading and reviewing?  Guess it may be time to leave for a while.

Please disregard my feedback, everyone.  It is dishonest and nonconstructive.

Well, for what it’s worth Jeff, I appreciate the feedback you gave on my script thread, and it was pretty much on par with all the other comments, no worse no better, so definitely fair.

That being said I think my scripts are are dead giveaway at this stage cause I’ve pretty much submitted similar themes, voice, style, etc. for the past few years now, but it’s all good on this end. A challenge is a challenge and without the OWC and feedback there is really no inspiration to go outside the comfort zone and try different things. This is ‘tabula rasa’ wherein everyone is given the same set of paints... in the end, what we do with the given palette falls solely on us as to show what we’ve created from that, if others like it they like it, if not... we’ll, try something different next round, but only if you want to appease the masses, otherwise be true to your vision as a writer and carry on...

I was joking, or attempting to anyway!

It's odd how I'm always the butt off the jokes.

Must we do this every OWC? It's almost a ritual anymore. Are you getting thin-skinned these days?

There are a shitload of us that appreciate your take on our entries and actually look forward to reading them. Sure, you hurt some feelings but they'll get over it. I did. Most of the time you're spot on. Sometimes it seems like you had one too many Jagers before pounding out something on the keyboard.

It'll piss me off if you go dark on us. Suck it up, Buttercup!

Maybe the problem is that it's morning and WAY too early to start drinking Jager.

The Jager thickens my skin, so mornings I'm at my weakest, most vulnerable.  

I'm just fuckin' with y'all, but it is strange how I'm always singled out.

You don't need to worry until we STOP fuckin' with you. That's when something is really wrong

Is it even an OWC unless someone takes a swipe at you? Would be like Christmas without the family argument... can't mess with tradition.

I am disappointed I haven't had my Jeff feedback this time around, putting me in my place lol

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:
1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it
