Quoted from FrankM


But if it's a requirement, then someone could accidentally mess it up.


If they messed it up enough, would it come full circle to great? And, would that potentially create a tear in the fabric between time and space?

For this challenge and other OWCs I totally disregard budget unless it's a parameter of the challenge.

That's because I want to have fun with it, to not be restricted by anything that isn't an actual parameter, and I'm not overly bothered if it means it's unlikely to get made.

But I will look at the comments and re-write where I think the feedback is good and works for the script,

In the case of the three scripts I've written so far (I have an unused one for first round) then I think one is filmable but the other two will make decent writing samples.

And having great writing samples is important too, even if you don't expect to see it made.

Quoted from TheUsualSuspect


I don't understand this high budget concern. It's a writing exercise. Have fun with it. Not everything has to be written with the intent to sell it.


Yeah I agree, write the story you want, not the budget constraints story.  The story you want is better but not as cheap as the other.  But having the expensive story shows what it can be, writing another based on the original will help out the low budget film makers.  It's up to budget.

I saw a request on Reddit a few weeks ago, $15,000.  That's a lot of options.

Usually you see shoe string budget.

If you write the budget script, it might not look as good as the story you had originally intended.

I'm just reading all these entries straight away, no logline reading, no genre, or details.  I just want to see how these stories materialize.

Well, I have one pair left.

Apparently I'm expected to do things at my job. Who knew?

Speaking of voting, I hope everyone sticks around to vote in the coming rounds. If the numbers dwindle each round, we could have a real pitcher's duel in the final.

Hate to see the mods have to break a 1-1 tie.

Didn't mean anything by it. Fortunately I'm not at work at the moment, and now I'm done.

Yep. Reading, and then voting as I'm pretty sure others are. Don't panic, there's still two days to go.
