Only FOUR go through!
Okay, another day of voting! It’s like Vote-a-palooza here at Scriptshadow. I have already locked in the 7 winning loglines from yesterday, which will move into the official competition. But I don’t want to bog today’s post down so I’ll wait until tomorrow to post the entire list of scripts that made it through in the second week.
Today are the maybes from the weekend. Not every maybe makes it into today’s post. I went through all of them and I went through everyone’s extra 300 word pitch, if they made one. So, if you’re wondering where your ‘maybe’ idea went, it unfortunately went to idea heaven.
These are not going to be as strong as yesterday’s bunch. And, for that reason, only FOUR IDEAS are going to get into the competition today. So every vote counts. You can vote for multiple loglines. Again, I encourage everyone here to stick to the spirit of the competition and not just vote for your friends. Vote if you would want to see that movie. Cause that’s the ultimate goal of this contest – is to get movies made.
No need to waste time. Here are your contenders…
