Scriptfest V - Monsterfest

[Chris_Keaton]

Yeah, maybe submit all scripts in 2 weeks and then vote the next week?

Sorry if I'm being completely dumb here, but how does this tie in for Monsterfest, when the video deadline is in october. Shouldn't this one be done in a month so the filmmakers have time to produce the script?

This one is done in a month, and that leaves almost two months for the deadline of monsterfest. It's not a requirement or anything. But, a lot of people also don't get started on their dvxfest projects the moment the fest begins. but, if you guys all want a shorter time, then maybe isaac will be willing to do that... I think a month from now though you are likely to find more people searching for a script, or thinking that they would get involved if they had a script.

later,
Jason

Agreed and remember even if voting hasnt started you can still pitch youre script to would be film makers.

[allieminute]

only 6 pages? or 6-10??

* One submission per person.

Just curious, why just one?

The regular DVXuser film Fests have a limit of two, and there's much more work involved in getting a film finished when compared to just the script.

I do agree that there should be a limit, I'm just inquiring as to why it's lower than MonsterFest (short film version).

No big deal either way. I'm sure there's probably a good reason that I'm just not seeing.

Thanks,

Mike

Isaac can probably speak for himself better, but looking at the past scriptfests, they typically had a 6-8 week run time, where as this one is about 4.

More realistically though, I would think he wanted to place the emphasis on quality rather than quantity this time around.

You know how we like to mix things up and see what works and what doesn't

I agree with that 100%
Should have put that together.

Can't wait to see what comes out of this Fest. Hopefully we'll see some of the scripts make it on to the screen.

Plus, there's nothing that says you can't write it and make the movie before voting ends on Scriptfest. Monsterfest viewing doesn't begin until Halloween anyway...

[Brandon Rice]

Looking forward to entering!

One script only because i think better quality comes out of people focusing on one instead of many.

As for the amount of time for writing, there's no reason why you can't cast and preproduce at the same time as you write/rewrite.

I recommend submitting the script you'll produce. I don't think it will spoil the viewing process later. Realistically not everyone reads all the scripts, and you'll have a big leg up on those producing scripts without feedback because you'll have the advantage of workshop criticism.
