Word Cloud Logline Challenge Winners!
Last week, we ran a Word Cloud Logline Challenge featuring words from the the loglines of the four 2014 Nicholl winning scripts. As I normally do with these challenges, I consulted with Max Millimeter, Hollywood Movie Producer Extraordinaire. He identified 5 winners. The first three are of an historical bent:
An OUTRE’ REAPER that accidentally killed Thomas JEFFERSON must FIND the DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE before SEPTEMBER ENDS or the HISTORY of AMERICA will TAKE a very bad TURN. — Lorenzo Colonna
LILY CONTINENTAL is ASSIGNED an IMMORTAL DRUNK to SAVE FRANKLIN, WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON from DEATH, using her POWERFUL HISTORY ENGINE. — darrenFin
Desperate to SAVE AMERICA from going down the WRONG path, a DETERMINED historian enlists a POWERFUL NEUROSCIENTIST’s help resurrecting JEFFERSON, FRANKLIN, and WASHINGTON in order to SAVE the country before a DRUNK, corrupt CONGRESS ENDS the WORLD. — DeeGirlVN
This one actually spun in a different direction and Max liked the idea of someone having an incurable hangover, a condition I suspect he probably feels like he’s experienced many times:
When a NEUROSCIENTIST FINALLY DISCOVERS a POWERFUL cure for CANCER he celebrates by ENGAGING in a NIGHT of DEBAUCHERY only to REALIZE the next morning that in his DRUNK stupor he consumed his CANCER remedy along with alcohol which appears to have led to an INCURABLE, IMMORTAL HANGOVER. — Kalen
And this one wins the Kitchen Sink Award for including just about everything in it.
ONE NIGHT a POWERFUL grim REAPER REALIZES his OUTRE PASSION for all the LIVES in the WORLD so he FOREVER ENDS his IMMORTAL DEATH JOB. He BECOMES further SEAPARTED from MELANCHOLIA when he MEETS LILY WASHINGTON, a mortician who’s TRAPPED in a job that NEVER PAYS due to LOSS of CLIENTS. Grim is RATHER DETERMINED to SAVE his secret from the LOVE of his LIFE even when a NEUROSCIENTIST DISCOVERS his TEMPORALLY INDEPENDENCE from INCURABLE CANCER (he can’t DIE) and vows to ENGAGE CONGRESS in a DECLARATION of war. AMERICA’s future HISTORY and his RELATIONSHIP hang in the balance in this COMEDY-DRAMA. — KBotts
Congratulations, winners! Email me to choose your prize: Either one of these upcoming Screenwriting Master Class courses:
Or a half-hour Skype consultation with me to discuss any loglines you may have, questions about the craft or business of screenwriting, what is the meaning of life, etc.
Thanks to everyone who participated. In December, we’ll do another one using the loglines for all of the 2014 Black List scripts, so yet more chances to have some fun.
