Hey Gang!

Last week we had a one week challenge. The challenge was to write a short script in one week.

The theme was – Odd but interesting character(s) take refuge from a hurricane in a beat-up motel and are forced to make a choice between good or evil in order to survive the night.

Each character must have some history involving a supernatural event in their lives that factors into their choice. Genre is open. This is a micro-budget short, so no destruction of the motel, no children or animals and minimal special effects.

You can read all the scripts here

Universal apparently took down the script to Les Misérables apparently. However, they did post the script to The Lorax. Another script for adapted screenplay consideration.
