Unveiling my Script Frenzy Project


Prior to this year, I had never heard of Script Frenzy. I found out about it on Twitter and was immediately intrigued. I came up with a story idea almost immediately and signed up for the challenge of writing a 100-page screenplay in 30 Days.

I had a busy month but I still managed to finish it up a few days early. I then put it away for a little while and distanced myself from the story. Normally I take more than a week away before unveiling a work to anyone but I didn’t want to keep any of you waiting. 

I have been tweeting about my progress this entire time and I thank you for all the support you have shown me. This is the first draft of my screenplay and as such, I would appreciate any constructive feedback you may have on it. Don’t worry about offending me. Any comment you make can only help me improve the story. And if I make it big one day, I’ll make sure to mention you when I win an Oscar.

So without further ado, here is my screenplay.

Bled Dry

David Watts is a twenty-five year old salesman working at a department store. He doesn’t like the cheesy love songs they play over the store-wide speaker system. David just can’t believe that love like that really exists. That is, until he meets a college student by the name of Autumn at a blood donor clinic one day.

Click here to read the entire screenplay and please come back to leave me a comment once you have read it.

Thanks!

    Oh my. I'm so happy for you - you must be feeling such an amazing sense of accomplishment - however reading 100 pages would be unlikely right now with everything else that's on my plate. :(

    Hi Vered,

    It really is a quick read since it is a screenplay. You could probably read it in less than an hour since there is a lot of white space in a script.

    It is also permanently linked in the "Bibliography" tab under the blog header.

    I hope you will read it one day and come back to comment.

    Thanks a lot!

    Great job, Chase! I enjoyed it a lot. It's been a long time since I've read something that grabbed my attention in such a way that I couldn't stop reading until I was finished. Apparently night fell while I was reading and I didn't even notice...

    Anyway, thanks for sharing. I like it that you can put yourself out there like that. And I agree with Vered - What an accomplishment! Keep it up!

    xo
