IT'S ALL IN A SONG
Write a 2-5 page script based on a song title. It can be a literal adaptation of the song's meaning or just based on how the song makes you feel or if it triggers a memory or something.
It can even be just a well crafted scene.
Open genre. |

That is probably the shortest description of a OWC challenge I have seen I feel like this part "...or something" is up for a lot of interpretation lol Love the low page count though. Ahhh and now I have just realized your clue in the other thread "Have a little... "Patience" (whistles)" |

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

Wow. That is WIDE open. Cool. Haven't had one that would generate such varied scripts in a long time. Love it.

That 2-5 page limit is brutal. Lol. But I suppose it wouldn't be fun if it were easy. |

Cool.
This kind of feels like an old Movie Poet challenge. |

Yes, it can have a cliffhanger as an ending.
Based on the song title or inspired by is the main idea. I would just say not to quote the song or the lyrics just like you shouldn't in any other screenplay.
Finally, the idea is that the song title should also be the title of the script. |

“What Should I Do?” “I Love Rock n Roll” but...”I’m A Little More Country Than That”. “I Have Nothing” but I do have “High Hopes” that “I’ll Think Of Something”. Feeling “Sorry” for myself. So I might as well go on down to “Margaritaville” because “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and “Tears In My Beer” is better than “Nothing In My Head", but “Tomorrow’s Another Day”. “I Hope You Understand”. “Sincerely”, “Your Truly” P.S. Sorry, “I Couldn’t Help Myself” |
