1. INT. LARGE FARM BARN - EARLY MORNING.

The barn half abandoned, we see small crates of hay stacked up. A cow in the corner, and a small blanket on the floor. The cracks of sunlight burst through the doors onto the blanket. In the distance, the sound of that annoying bastard crow thing at sunrise.

PAN AROUND MAIN BEAM TO BLANKET

We see on the blanket, a man and woman. He leans into her, kissing her gently.
​
FADE OUT.

END CREDITS.​
 
Probably all 6. Maybe we can implement a kind of carbon credit plan here where if Aram, or Chris do not use all 6 minutes, others can buy the remaining minutes from them. :)
 
I'm on the edge of 5-6 right now, but I'm trying my best to keep it at or under 5. (This most likely means 9-10 minutes, of course.)
 
likely to max it out. will likely submit a cutdown for screening purposes and the full-length version later on.
 
I'm a fan of the rollover minutes.

But yeah, likely I'll end up submitting a short version of my film like others here.
 
Cingular is the new AT&T, and you can only retain your rollover minutes when you change plans if you upgrade to a plan that has more monthly minutes than you have saved up in rollover minutes... Which is kind of hard to do when you have over 5k rollover minutes.... Sheisters... Rollover minutes are non-transferrable.

I'm going for slim on time. I don't want this one to feel rushed at all. I don't want to try to cram too much in there this time. Right now 5 minutes if I'm being liberal... but I really have no idea as I am not far enough along in my drafts of my script. I'm probably looking for 5:30 including credits and everything (and taking my time with credits, not screaming them past the screen at the end).

Later,
Jason
 
My script runs briefly onto an 8th page, but I'll definitely compress a little. I'm going to make good use of the entire six minutes.
 
I'm shooting right for 6 mins but defiantly not going over this time...i like going to the party but I also like eating my cake too...or something like that...:bath:
 
In all the short film competitions and festivals I've ever seen, the commonest fault is 'short' films that are too long, too flabby, too waffly. For the sake of your audience (and your chances of winning), keep it tight, slash every unnecessary second.
