YOU KNOW THE DRILL ...



They seek him here, they seek him there, those damned writers seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven or is he in hell, that damned elusive Scarlet Screenwriter! (Oh, phuck, that doesn't even rhyme!)

Group 6 | Historical Fiction | Homesick | A Poet

إن شاء الله Inshallah

A caravansary in Al-Andalus is a way station for weary travelers far from their homes, but not all who wander will return at journey’s end.

Pithy sayings are for the apt. For a longer message, you need a condo.

Group 4 - Drama - Meet and Greet - Caretaker

Untold Story
Given up for adoption at birth, a caretaker gets the chance to connect with the family that abandoned her. What will she do with that chance?

(Edited to add: It has just struck me that this logline is very negative about and insensitive to birth families and I apologize if it offends anyone. I'd rewrite it to say, "Adopted at birth, a caretaker gets the chance to connect with her birth family. What will she do with that chance?")

R1/G31 - MYSTERY/COMMUTING TO WORK/ULTRASOUND TECHNICIAN

IMAGING OF TERROR


Mild-mannered ultrasound tech Anne-Maree Morris is kidnapped on
her way to work in a London clinic.  Little does she realise that she
holds not only the fate her own life in her hands, but that of two others.





I am so ashamed ... I wonder if I should even show this ... We has eight days to write it? 
I had to do it in six hours ... I only got up to nine pages, but it felt complete ...
Sold our house this week ... bought a house this week ... lots of angst and paperwork ... FML!
Yes, I know ... a whole orchestra of tiny cockroach violins playing WOE IS ME ...
How ANYONE got a decent screenplay out of these prompts is beyond me ...
