Writing Life

This month I chose to write.

Last month I finished two animation shorts and one 3-minute short script.

"Doomsday Catch Phrase" is a 2-minute animation I've entered in the 10th Anniversary deadCenter Film Festival. (Haven't heard yet if I'm in.)

"Missing" is a 1-minute animation I entered in a deadCenter X-games contest for their April Showers contest. (I did win a pass the the 10th Anniversary Film Festival in June!)

The 3-minute script was for a Scripped.com contest. The idea was to write as if "found footage" from a video camera showed up from an Unknown Sender. (Haven't heard from them yet.)

So I'm writing for another contest on Scripped.com.

It's just the first 15 pages of a script. The idea is for "a comedy-drama about a middle-aged father who falls for his son's 20-something girlfriend."

I've chosen to emphasize the comedy aspect. Otherwise it might tend toward an "American Beauty" type story.

This contest ends on Friday.
