I'm currently working on a decent-sized-film featuring Zach Macias and Nathan Mellace. mini/bigsmile

Once I get that done, I've got a pretty good idea of what I want to do next. I've been doing a lot of watching of the BrickFilms.com podcast, and I came across the film called "The Letter". I kinda wanted to do a newer parody about a guy who needs to get money to a cleaner or something, I really enjoyed the film and wanted to make my own little version.

Like a lot of movie directors say, a good way to think of ideas for films, is to watch another film and maybe say to yourself "If I made this, I would have done it THIS way". Just some thoughts mini/smile

I think you got the wrong thread.

This is not an easy decision.  I will need one more day.

Re: The Screenplay Challenge

This was a hard decision, because I love them both.  I love the spoof of the time travel paradox, a plot device that when done seriously, I HATE!  But I just couldn't get that rouge nail out of my thoughts... and because of that, I'm going to have to choose ONE DOUGLASS as the winner, but I enjoyed both so much that I had to deliberate for a figurative eternity.

If you email me your mailing address at holdingourown "at" ymail "dot" com, I'll mail you the Holding Our Own card game prototype.  Only four of these protothypes exist or will ever exist!  By the way, one of the four prototypes is owned by my 3 yr old son, so they're not in pristine condition, making it one of 3 in this condition!  Enjoy shooting down each other's "premises" and engaging in "debates" as you polarize yourselves in teams of two, take sides and try to win the argument!

Congratulatiuons, and a sincerely excellent job to both entrants.

Re: The Screenplay Challenge

I'm glad you enjoyed my entry.  Personally, I really liked Jasper's screenplay.  Here are a few possible themes.  I'll see which one is the most popular.

  • Against the Odds

  • Once Upon a Time

  • A New Frontier

  • The Fourth Wall

Re: The Screenplay Challenge

I have an idea for The Fourth Wall… about literally the fourth wall from the room...

Re: The Screenplay Challenge

Alright, the new theme is The Fourth Wall.  The deadline is February 10th 2015.  You will have one week to write an entry.
Happy screenwriting!

Re: The Screenplay Challenge

Just to clarify: LITERALLY the fourth wall.  Am I right?

It could be literally or a figure of speech.  It's up to your interpretation.

Re: The Screenplay Challenge

Since the deadline is past, would anyone like it extended or should I make a new theme?

Re: The Screenplay Challenge

Please extend it… I had a busy week this week and I might be able to do it this week.

Re: The Screenplay Challenge

Yes, extend it... I wanted to do it, but another week would help everyone
