The October One Week Challenge selected script is Glass Rain by Julio Weigend (reaper creeper)
Read by: iScript.com

The October, 2010 One Week Challenge genre was Horror. The theme was It was a dark and story night. The limitations were: two male and one female actor, male actor is in a wheelchair, all events must occur sometime between October 30th to November 1st, can’t use the word Halloween, everything occurs in and around an abandoned, rundown house and the writer could do anything to the house, except burn it down.

Participants had one week to write a 10 page script on the genre and theme. There were 45 scripts which were read and discussed over on the discussion board. One script was selected to be audio performed by the fine folks over at iScript.com. That selected script is Glass Rain by Julio Weigend (reaper creeper).

A brother’s been fatally mutated due to his sister’s dabbling into the occult. What is to be done?

I got an awesome email from Chris Sparling, screenwriter of Buried.

With the film I wrote, BURIED, now out in theaters, I felt the time was right to finally release the production draft of the script (the previous draft that appeared online — after being leaked by someone — was an early draft).

This time around, I figured I’d preempt the leak by releasing the script myself

Congrats on running such a great, informative site for writers.

–Chris Sparling

The trailer for the film Sparrow is up. It is based on Matt’s thriller script Camp Nightmare.

Six teenage friends take a camping trip to a forest which is the site of a presumed historic murder. But their disbelief in this urban legend is soon changed when strange happenings begin to occur to each of them…as well as other campers who are fortunate enough to spend the night there

Congrats to ScarTissue Films. The film, End of the Tour won Best Film, People’s Choice and Best Performance at the 3rd Hitters International Film Festival. End of the Tour is based on the script, End of the Tour by Pia.
