Jeepers, there's a real mutual appreciation society going on here.
Don't worry, I'm just jealous.
P.S. Ten scripts AC?!
And good one Dave, 'try-fecta'.

We'll, I'm looking for scripts to review on the Blog page so maybe there'll be some good candidates. Filmmakers are always on the lookout for super-shorts easy to film, minimal cast, one location.

Whatever happened to Ren? He had class -- and he made me laugh.

Following on from my last comment, I'm very happy to be sharing the quarters with some of my favourite writers, Dave, Anthony, and James. Wouldn't be a loss to go out from this point. Not sure I'd still be here anyway if Steve Miles and Mark Renshaw had entered. Steve's work blows me away every time, he's one of the most consistently brilliant writers here, in my opinion. And Mark, well he's Mark haha.
Feeling's mutual.
It is nice to see that WARDD didn't break you after all

With standard screenplay format, you could get FADE IN, FADE OUT and ten different locations on a one-page script (though nine of then will have only a single line of action, and one could get all chatty with two).

Well yes, you could do that...
You could also have your one page set on the moon with SFX. Bigger budget though, eh?

I would say that the less description you have to do, the better off you are... unless you have a real story to tell. In my honest opinion, the best short I think I ever wrote was a 1-pager. It forces you to get really creative since you don't have the page room to rely on dialogue.

Or you could write the story in 3 different genres. For ex. Mom loses baby. Kills self in a drama setting. Mom loses baby, full blown horror as she kills several hospital staff members. Mom loses baby, aliens visit her, give her a child that could save or destroy the human race. 3 stories, all the same start, yet totally go in very different directions. Dan

Submitted.
Ended up with four scripts. Had to speed-write the last one when I decided my third probably wouldn't count in the genre I needed to clear the parameters.
Didn't think ya'll would accept a Hatfield/McCoy script as a Western. Despite the fact that it's WEST Virginia. That should count, right?

I thought mine were good yesterday. But then I looked at them tonight and thought... Dear God, what have I done? Best of luck to all!
