Submitted...

Yes. The Steeltown Film Factory now has my 12 page short drama. It is a Christian drama. And that's all I will be releasing about it at this time. There is a sketch, however. This one. So. It's not much to go on, but, I thought I'd share a little. Thanks for all the prayers and thanks to my Grandma for all the prayers too! Obviously, since the rules to the contest are that the movie must be about Pittsburgh, my story is set in Pittsburgh. But the rest remains a mystery. I will keep you folks updated in case I actually win. And if not, well...It was fun to have something light a fire under me enough to finish a short script. That was fun! Let's do it again! Thanks everybody! More to follow on this super secret plot later. ...or...To Be Continued... Debbie D. Screenwriter ;-)

The Next Great Adventure

So, you all knew from my earlier post that I submitted my best song to a Christian song competition.

Well.. I have just discovered a competition for Film scripts! Yep. The Steeltown Film Factory (based out of Pittsburgh) (Steeltown FilmFactory General Rules ) is now accepting early entries for a 12 page screenplay set in the great city of Pitt! ...Oh the picture above? That's just so there's something other than white space at the top. It's me and a couple Christian artists I've met over the years... Anyway!

Since the Burgh is my Grandma's stomping ground, I am comfortable and joyed with this setting. I already had a movie plot set in a university town. It's a drama, but not the one I posted about earlier. This will be a great readjustment to the story, and it even enhances the characters quite a bit. So, what I need from you readers, again, is prayer. Just that whatever God wants to happen with my entry happens.

Where I was when I wrote some of this plot

What I looked like while writing it. ha ha :)

That's all. I don't really care if I win or not. It's just a cool opportunity. I also need help with getting the time and gumption to squish and format my plot into a 12 page film. I have already pulled together a draft of key parts. But I just need to locate my paper copies of the scenes and dialogue and type them up correctly into the software I have which formats the script into a knock-off (and FREE) version of what Final Draft does.

Some help on finding the proper ways to format action segments that show time passing, I could use that too. So, any comments on where to look for that, would be great too! :)

So...if you all could keep the Steeltown Film Factory competition in your prayers for me, that'd be sweet!

Thanks!

Be blessed!
