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)

Nice! Can't wait to listen to it!


Good job everyone. I enjoyed this challenge greatly.

Sean

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.

Thanks, guys.  The competition this round was especially fierce.  Congratulations to everyone.

Tony

Ps. Joe, if they ever win it at home, they'll have no choice but to build a new ballpark. ;)

Congrats Aimee and Tony!

Yours was my #1 pick.

Sean,

Congrats to you too. Seems like the people at iScript really dig your stuff. :-)

Aimee and Tony,
Congratulations !

You make a great writing team.;)

Thanks, Pia and Elis!  We had a great time writing it.  I’m hoping to get to both of your scripts this week.  October was a crazy month…

Aimee

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.

Yeah congrats Aimee and Tony!

And everybody else, good job. Hopefully I'll get around to read some more soon.

Congrats, Aimee and Tony. Gourdy was a good script and I can see why it was picked. Good job!

Michael, DM, James... thanks!  Pound for pound, he was one of our favorite characters to write. :)

Tony & Aimee,

Congrats!

Seth

Thanks, Seth!
