Group 14 - Romance / Self-taught / A butler.

Was a little disappointed to receive romance as a genre (the one I have been most dreading since first entering NYC competitions), and two prompts which lead to quite a predictable plot line... That said, this is my first screenplay so I was just happy to get something submitted!

On The Fiddle


Lady Evelyn, grieving her recently deceased husband, is oblivious to the secrets of her humble and reserved butler, who has more to him than first meets the eye.


(I realise most if not all of the judges are American, so I'm interested to know whether my title has the same (double) meaning over there as it does in Britain?!)

The Unlivers

In 2084, a check-in agent for an exclusive time travel company

dreams of affording her own ticket to the past. Can a visit to a

defining event in human history reveal the truth about her father's

disappearance, or maybe even more?



Writing a time-travel script felt like playing with fire... but it was fun.


I think I'll post it on the forums... to get roasted LOL


Thanks to my amazing betas! 


I feel for you. I did one too... and I didn't even have SF as the genre...

There's always a paradox you can't explain away!

Group 47 Romcom / antique(s) / a carpenter

Antiques

The years haven't been kind to Sureshot Yolanda or the Red Woodsman -- former members of the heroic Shining Company. But when their old enemy stirs in its icy prison, they must join with a new generation to quell the threat -- and learn to see each other with fresh eyes...

Holy unoriginal title, Batman!
