* Your script must be written between March 1 and April 6th.
* When you are ready post a thread for your script with a logline or tagline and a poster if possible. This thread will be used for your feedback.
* Screenplay must be in screenplay industry standard...look it up or just read previous winners.

Very cool, poster! And boy are you fast with the next theme. :)

Family Friendly = Rusty wears a straight jacket!

Is the deadline May 5th?
 
Horror is traditionally not a family friendly genre, is it?

Monster Squad, Casper, Scooby Doo, Addams Family, are they Horror or just exploit horror symbology in a family setting?

IT's a good decision to let the voters decide on what is Family friendly. :)

Chris, let me confirm is voting again confined to participants and DVXuser members with 50+ forum posts?

Also, could it be possible to let participants know that besides being pdf files they should also follow screenplay formatting and font? Don't want those writers to be DQ'd or called out for using non-screenplay formatting and font.

Done.
 
Hey, Chris. I just tried to upload my poster but I'm not sure how. Do I have to wait until I submit my script or can I do it now?
Thanks.
 
Is it:

fantasy/sci-fi/horror

or

fantasy and/or sci-fi and/or horror

?

I've had some family friendly sci-fi ideas, some with thriller elements but it would be a stretch to call any of them horror...
 
Nice. Hope to participate on this one, plenty of time and ideas so if I miss the deadline it can only mean I am a disorganised and worthless human being! :Drogar-Dum(DBG):
 
This looks fun! A question about the two character limit: is it possible to have background characters with non-speaking roles? Ones that would in essence act as much a part of the scenery as anything?

If they have to be cast they count, so no. Two people and that's it. Other people can be alluded to or heard, like voices in the distance or a plane overhead, but no people that can be clearly seen.
