I'm watching Bad Lieutenant. Never would have expected it, but it's surprisingly good. Very original, I think. Had a few drinks though, judgment could be clouded.

Pia,

Come on skype.

Quoted from Dreamscale Yes...and a few orphans running rampant. Seriously, anyone want to throw out a vote of confidence for me?  I worked all afternoon on this and actually really like it. C'mon, peeps!!  help me!!  I've had a rough week!!!

I vote for you, Jeff. I get you.

Can we all just bask in the finale of this OWC. Smiles:

This makes me smile!

Look forward to reading everyone's entry...and I will.

Hope everyone who wanted to got theirs done on time and Don accepted them.

maybe we'll even be treated to a few entries tonight?  Only 9:20 here and I've got nothing but time on my big old hands...

Let's see the first 5 entries!!!

WOOHOO!!!!  

Fireworks go off in the background!!!!

AAYYEE!!!!!!

Hooraaaaaay!!!!

The first batch of six scripts is up.  There were 32 scripts submitted.  Wow.  For an internal challenge, pretty good.

I remember my first OWC this past February. The exciting thing, and anxious thing, for me was this: I had never had any of my work read by anyone, not even friends or family. I had written a couple of features, and had just posted one here, but there were no reads. So the OWC would be the first feedback.

The reviews were mixed, but there were some positive remarks, which was really cool. Most important was that this is where the learning began for me, but I do remember waiting to see what people thought of the story, which was my first short. So if there are any first timers out there, good luck!

And, Kevin, your first OWC script was damn good, bro!  But the even better thing is how you've evolved as a writer. You rock, man!!  And I mean that very seriously!

Sadly, though, my entry in this challenge is a step back. But...less screen writing and format mistakes, I hope! Thanks to everyone here.

I can't start reading this first batch yet. Too many beverages this evening. I'll start in the morning.

I'm kind of anxious for reviews myself, even after having two scripts posted already. I'm still learning, but I think this will be one of my better script I've posted so far. Or at least I think so. I've learned a lot on this site. If it weren't for the reviews I've gotten, I'd still be writing sentences like "the man is standing beside the road. It is raining. A car is driving by. The driver is rolling down his window" etc.

32 entries (hopefully one of which is mine) is very good. I look forward to seeing them all.

Quoted from Grandma Bear as I see some comments about "one location". IMO, and I believe that's standard opinion, one location does not mean one room...  It means it takes place in "one location" such as a house or whatever. It can take place in several rooms/places in that one location...

Absolutely, the challenge was one location - not one room.

Completely understand and agree.  There are a few examples on display already that are pushing this, however.

I didn't take any chances and used a single room. But I didn't need any more in any case.

I did so too.
