I wasn’t sure I could enter, but thanks for the chance.

I’ll get one or two reads tonight - getting a bit late and the red wine is talking - but will pick this up tomorrow

Nice to be a part of a OWC once again

Yay, Don! I wake up and there they are.

A good Goldilocks amount too, not too few, not too many.

And you personally read them all?

Btw, good to know those cats have eased up on you.  

I am still tallying the votes.  I will release who wrote what tomorrow.

Damn impressive! Congratulations to the writer of The Essentials and a hearty pat on the back for writers following directions!

Did you notice that Jeff didn't enter and no one voted for their own script? Coincidence? I think NOT!

That’s All cool, thanks Don.

Well done The Essentials

Personally, I think film makers looking for scripts should review these - some good opportunities in there

How cool is that??

Thanks, Don.

I liked this OWC. It reminded me of the old days. Fewer scripts meant more manageable to read and comment on, but also as a mod to keep track of everything. It was not so hectic and surprisingly civilized which IMO, made it more fun. The quality was also up there for a OWC.
