G30 | Drama | A Get-together | A Tarp
ROSES AT THE GATE

A family celebration becomes the backdrop for revelations of betrayal.
Two people must decide if they will turn away from each other
or seek to repair what was broken as they dig up the hurts and wounds of the past.

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

I’m sufficiently creeped out from your logline, John.

The Third Wish
Once upon a time there was an emporium, and the man,

wishes walked in through the door...

Hi!
I've participated in NYC for a couple years now, scored pretty well on a few scripts, made it to round 3 a couple times, but this may have been the first time I (for sure) submitted before the 8:59 (11:59) deadline without any hiccups... sort of? I literally submitted with seconds to go this time around. I've perused the forums from time to time, but haven't really posted. It's really interesting to see the variety of perspectives and decisions made surrounding each prompt. Good luck, all! Anywho, here's what I came up with.

Group 23
Horror, a galley, crab leg(s)

QUEL DOMMAGE

LOGLINE : A captive comes to in a dark icy cell, but the monstrosity awaiting beyond these confines is far less palatable.
