Of course, it's harder than you think writing something so short.

Tonight, I adapted one of my old short stories and turned it into a 10 minute screenplay. Not sure if it's going to be the one I'll send though, as it's a very weird short story.

Anyone else going for this one????

Mind you... best to get your skates on!

Cheers Mikey. Sent something appropriately unsuitable!

Thanks for flagging this up, Mikey. I'll be giving it a go.

An opera about Chas'n'Dave?

Yeah, it's a mistaken identity romp, after comedy squirrels Chip'n'Dale witness a Disney mafia murder and hide in plain sight in London's West End as the tunesome twosome. The high point is undoubtedly the rendition of 'Run, Rabbit, Run' when the hitmen turn up to a gig.

I have something that has been gathering dust for a while not knowing what to do with so I'll tidy it up and send that. It fits in the time frame quite nicely.

I've sent something off. One of my more bizzare scripts. I just hope they've all been to the pub before they start reading.

Sounds good. Got something on the hard drive might be good for them. Cheers.

Damn. Now I've got hot competition.

Good luck everybody.

I actually found it in the Robin Kelly Opps list (see other thread) ... hidden amongst all those screenplay contests that charge $50 entry.

My screenplay I wrote yesterday borders on bizzare. I just hope the reader of mine has a few smokes of the funny fags first.

Still not sure whether that's the one I'll send yet.

Hey, this looks great. Thanks for the heads up.

Hmm.... Wonders if more than one screenplay can be sent.
I assume so.

I'm amazed at how many people have already got 5 - 10 minute screenplays gathering dust, ready to send.
I'd have thought most people wouldn't write something so short.

I've got them coming out of my ears!

It's long ones I can't handle. (Go on - I dare you)

Thanks for this. I'll have a go.

Oh. Right. (no, I'm not playing into the long ones trap)

The only "shorts" I'd ever done were three short stories (meant for women's mags) so, like I said, I adapted one of them.

The other two short stories are just thoughts of characters, so I can't really adapt them.

I may send them one that I've already had staged.

So if I go to see one of your plays, will it be over in ten minutes?
(Never even got to finish my popcorn!)
