Cowrite: Round Three
Cowrite has announced another winner and the script is shaping up. I'm not sure how I would say it's shaping up but it's currently a PG kids movie and is moving at a problematically brisk pace. The judges seem to be focused on plot more than character and continuity and our heroes and villains have barely been established (nevermind their relationships with others).
I've thrown together a rough draft for the next round but I'm not sure if it's worth it. The producers seem to be looking for more almost self-contained entries. The winners almost play more like a webisodes of an online series than a film script. It's like a bunch of pulpy ten minute spots ending with a cliffhanger.
I might try to fix these up or write ten pages that I think the producers want (even if I don't think it makes sense in the big picture).
We shall see.
Comments
Landed here by way of the cowrite forums. I like the pages a lot. I agree they seem to be heading down the wrong path with this script. We're nearing the end of act one and we've had plot but little actual story. I'm done contributing for now, unsure if I want to expend the energy on such a project. Best of luck to you though, I wouldn't take it as much of an insult if you're not selected.
