Way back in October, I started the Kid In The Front Row Online Screenwriting Competition.
The rules were:
- Your script must be no longer than FIVE pages (six including a cover page)
- You must write in industry-standard format.
- The DEADLINE for the competition is THURSDAY 21st OCTOBER 2010. No exceptions.
Those are the technical rules, here are the STORY RULES.
- You must have these THREE characters: Margaret, Abdul and Regina.These are the ONLY characters you can have.
- Your story takes place at the Headquarters of: 'The Equal Rights Committee.' The only locations (within the headquarters) are: Meeting Room, Kitchen, Secret Shelter.
- You must include this line of dialogue somewhere in the script: "Who the hell is Mark Flamstein?"
There were 25 entries --- and it was amazing how great the screenplays were; given the restraints in terms of deadline, characters and locations, and of course; the page count limitation.

I am really bummed that I missed out on this!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat as TB. Will there be another one?
ReplyDeleteAnother boat? Maybe. But I wouldn't want to let anything leak.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting idea/project. Best of luck to all of the finalists.
