New Scriptfest? Please =)

[Charli]

Want to make it interesting?

Same plot, same number of actors, same location - let's see who comes up with the most unique version, any genre.

that could be fun. the fest supplies a logline and contestants write it. winner takes all!!!!!

Same logline, could be cool.


It could also be boring to read, but i'm going with cool.

[lambert]

Same plot, location, number of actors and write it in 24 hours, start to finish. Now that would be interesting.

Dark comedy fest would be a good one...

Just did something of the sort for the 48 Hour Film Project (screening tonight in Pittsburg).

The mods gave a theme, a line of dialogue, a prop and one character. The rest was up to each team.

Pittsburg had ...

Heist
'Take your time. I've got all day'.
Pillow
Gill or Gillian Walters - ex-military

Lot of fun. Best Of Awards for use of said requirements, as well as Best Of for the usual suspects: Film, director, editing and so on.

Hi there - yep i think anything to speed up the process of these fests! I mean Isaac does an awesome job, but its pretty frustrating how long it takes to get new fests started. We could have a faster cycle than the normal fests, and this would help writers develop their skills (from peer responses) quicker too. So if the role of creating/managing these fests can be shared to allow for this - i think it would be well recommended!

Or maybe two extra mods here. Far as I can tell, there aren't any chick mods. So, to right this wrong, how about Isaac, Chris and Charli !!

Why not Alex?

I had to edit that fiasco and I'll leave it at that.

The line of dialogue should be from the Mel Gibson meltdown.
