Well, not to jinx anything, but the feature Erik (you remember him, don’t you?) and I wrote together may have something brewing. After finishing the script, I proceeded to query, what, it had to be close to 200 production companies. We got a few industry reads, which haven’t led anywhere yet. However, there’s been movement as of just this week. Anyone care to guess where this producer found our script when I asked him? Huh? Anyone?

Simply Freakin Scripts, is where!

So, just goes to show you that SS was, and remains, a rock star site, in case you had any doubt. Now, we both know it may lead nowhere, but the signs have been encouraging, even for me, and I’ve had my share of false starts and early celebr

Crossing everything for you Steve, and 'the new guy aka Erik'. 🤣
So, which script is this? I think I had feedback written out that I didn't post.

Either way, post a link - all in the name of self-promotion of course.

And tell new guy we want him in the OWC, or the upcoming tournament. Or both.

P.S. I'm assuming you'll open a new thread if something pans out.

Awesome sauce - fingers crossed

Traditionally the script length has been six pages or 10 pages depending upon the whim of the person running the OWC.

The person running the OWC has the right to disregard the decision of "the people".

I’ve noticed a pattern since getting into screenwriting. Many of the bad scripts I read have no character depth,    Character depth is primarily told through dialogue and depth is a key element to making the dialogue good, although it’s not all of what makes dialogue good there’s other things as well.

I also tend to prefer scripts where I can relate to the character in some way or I could relate to them if I was in that situation.  

In my opinion that’s what makes a good script to me.  That’s not all the aspects in my opinion like I mentioned there are other aspects that I need to look for as well but I feel depth is the most important.

Sex can last longer than 5 minutes?

I interpreted that as just plain misdirection. it wasn't death, it was just bad luck. contrived, to be sure, but I guess it fits the general m.o. of the series.

So, you're saying that it comes down to the time it takes you to read a few extra pages on a few scripts?  Really?

Do you prefer 5 minute sex to 45 minute sex?

I'm surprised to hear this, as we're talking about literally a few extra minutes on the entries that choose to exceed 6 pages, which most likely wouldn't be many.

Do you choose the movies you watch based on how short they are and how quickly you can get through them?

Do you prefer 5 minute sex to 45 minute sex?

Do you choose a 5 minute Pedicure to an hour and 5 minute Pedi?

C'mon, everybody!!!!  Life is too short to write short 6 page scripts!

But one can't choose to read and review only 6 pages of the 10 page entries...

... well technically they can. But would be a bit stupid.

I'd participated. I did two of those already!

But one can't choose to read and review only 6 pages of the 10 page entries...

I would totally host a 7WC if I knew there'd be more than like 2 entries.

the OWCs are such a great way to generate an idea and see it through, and I always find myself wishing there was a way to help myself stay on task that way for bigger projects

WOW!  What happened on the poll results?  Overnight, 4 votes for the tiny short?  Really?

I don't get it, honestly, as like we've made very clear, with a 10 page maxi, one can decide to write a 5 pager if they choose.

But with a 6 page maxi, one cannot write a 10 pager if they choose.

WEAK!!!!
