A choice of three (5 page) scripts to illustrate:

Supernatural comedy titled Our Hero by Philip Gelatt, writer of Labor Days, and Indiana Jones Adventures.

Espionage thriller titled Cold City by Antony Johnson, writer of Wasteland and the Dead Space video game series.

Western drama titled Medicine Show by Frank Beaton, writer of various short stories appearing in This is a Souvenir, Outlaw Territory, 24/Seven and others.

I think this is a pretty good opportunity, since they don't normally accept unsolicited submissions...

Submissions by post, to be sent by (postmarked before) August 15th, 2009

i hear you man, the more i thought about it the more it was like
"im not a fan of the sotry but itd probably suit me the most"
guess ill try to do all of them as a safe bet!

[Ste Hitchen]

I totally sniped your post! First impressions, I thought the "supernatural comedy" would be the one most suited to my drawing style until I read the whole script... I think I'll try my hand at the western one, reminds me of that scene in Pete's Dragon.

[M D Penman]

duuuuuude, was jsut gunna put this up!
Which one took your fancy? I thought the scripts werent amazing
but itll be worth giving it ago.
Recon i might go for the western and the spy one
the "horror comedy" didnt entertain me that much

[Ste Hitchen]

Yeah, I'm gonna give it a go. Only one of the scripts takes my fancy, but you have the option to submit for all 3 if you wish.
