SCRYPT CONTEST: ELEVATOR PITCHES (read rules)
READ COMPLETELY! NO ORIGINAL PITCHES HERE! This contest is an exercise in creating a one to three line pitch (also called a logline) for a movie that ALREADY EXISTS, for the sake of the writing exercise itself. The concept is to envision that you have found yourself alone in an elevator with a famous movie director. What is the one idea... the one sentence you will offer that encapsulates an entire production into a brilliant and intriguing one line before the door opens and they may escape. 1. Select a movie you love and know well. 2. Really, truly perfect a one line pitch for the movie. You have the option to create one pitch that is three lines long, or three pitches that are one line per... no more than that. Keep in mind an excellent pitch is: * told in the flavor or voice of the film itself (not usually of a character) * usually conveys the core concept of the film or its unique premise or * frequently is a broader supposition dealing with the universal truths presented by the film * is so intriguing the audience (the director) MUST hear more... 3. Post the one line aside of a url to the MOVIE'S TRAILER for us to see. 4. Provide feedback to the other contestants... because this is for the sake of writing and building the confidence to know another area of the craft within script writing! Bonne Chance! I am a professional screenplay analyst & writer that is moving into the literary world with my first book now completing entitled 'Phynics Forever Rising'.

Dances with Wolves

Stacy was only the paper pusher on Wilshire Blvd. She barely understood the fax machine and made all the appointments for reads but she knew what was "up and coming." The last hour of the day, she headed for the elevator.

Quickly rounding the corner, Mr. Oliver stopped the closing doors and bullied himself in for a ride to the parking garage. He straightened his suite and cleared his throat impatiently staring at the buttons on the wall.

She knew she had but seconds to pitch what all directors needed. "Mr. Oliver, I know you have no time but use these seconds to hear me out. The movie you're directing, about the young western front?"

"Please! I'm very tired."

Stacy blows ahead. "Here's the pitch; 'In the days of the wildest west an American soldier frontiers to a post only to find hostile Indians as civilization migrates west. He befriends an unlikely pet. The challenges he faces force him to confront the issues of trust, real freedom, the greatest values of all cultures and true love.'"

Donnie Darko

Have you heard of Grandma death? Neither did I till I died a civilian, now idly-professed philosopher - a countdown is all that time was, and is. That bunny - we wear suits as the world crashes in the space-time continuum, as time is relative so am I within the limbo amongst my chaotic hemispheres.
