Winner! - Los Angeles Feedback Film & Screenplay Festival - June

Here's a snippet of the email I received in regards to my winning screenplay.  My Rick and Morty Script called What Have You Learnt Morty?

Budget Friendly 'TAG' / 'LABEL' word

"If you want creativity, take a zero off your budget. If you want sustainability, take off two zeros."

Jamie Lerner 

I'm going to start adding a new tag to search for budget friendly scripts.  Easy to film.


I'll look at both, geography, buildings, and characters.

• CHARACTERS

No more than five.

• BUILDINGS

I'll keep an open mind on this.  A home/house with multiple rooms I'll see as budget friendly.  Other buildings might not be so easy like a warehouse or church.  It all depends since all towns/cities may not have all these kinds of buildings.

Also, a script may include multiple buildings, so perhaps no more than three would be good.

• GEOGRAPHY

Not all places have rivers or lakes, deserts or mountains.  So I'll keep this in mind if locations would indicate a dramatic change in scenery.

N.B.

If there's anything else I think of or you believe I should include in my parameters.  Please let me know.

I wrote this story ten years ago in 2008.  It has now been picked to become part of a university's school curriculum for Ateneo de Davao University of the Philippines.

I've updated the script given it a much needed makeover.  Think of it as an absurd dramedy.

This was for a competition held by SimplyScripts.com.  The script had to cover these three parameters within 48 hours:

• Sci-Fi, Courtroom, Valentine's Day

You can view the site and feedback here:

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1521490638/

I'm going to rewrite this without the courtroom scene.  I had to cut many scenes out just to make the five page requirements.

I'm going to turn this into an original episode.  If you're wanting to see the revised piece, let me know.

This is a writing game where you either start it or finish the story.
