Well, if Zack is in charge, I'm guessing it's a musical for the OWC

Hopefully this OWC is as open-ended as the last one.  I'm terrible with horror but can somewhat handle it if I'm allowed to inject some humor into the script.  Also, leave the minimum number of pages at a reasonable number if you want a lot of reads.  I'm cool with writing (and reading a lot of) 4-6 page scripts(or less) but not 8-10 pages, especially if they all have to fit the same limited criteria in the prompt.

Sorry about nitpicking, but I'd love to see the participation continue to be on a high level here for these things.


Some of my scripts:

Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly
I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner
The Gambler (short) - OWC winner
Skip (short) - filmed
Country Road 12 (short) - filmed
The Family Man (short) - filmed
The Journeyers (feature) - optioned

I feel like a legend right now  

I hope it isn't a one-pager OWC though, I don't have another one in me.

I second the notion for lower page count though. 5/6 pages would be perfect.

There was once a time when these OWCs were 10-15 pages.

Time wise I could commit to reading about 5 entries if they were that long.

I wonder which would have a better affect on scripts getting picked up. Are 5 pagers or 10 pagers more desirable?
