my screenplay, 'sons of adam' made it to the quarterfinals in the 2007 'women in film' comp held by 'more'... not worth a champagne toast, but nothing to sneeze at, i guess, since it's a fairly major contest... :)

did anybody else here enter?... congrats to the winners!

hugs, m

I think that is something to brag about and maybe a bottle of sparkly cider to toast with.
congratulations.

Hey, congratulations, mammamaia!

I'll be awaiting news of your final standing.

that was the final standing! ;-(

Oooo Congratulations! That definitely deserves a pat on the back if nothing more ^.^

congratulations, what's the screenplay about?

Congrts Maia, it was good to make it into the quater finals at least, I am sure many people tried and failed at that. Good luck for the next time if you decide to enter. :)

Fantastic. You're on a roll - Anthony

thanks, all!

pg... here's the pitch:

Sons of Adam


Logline:

High-jacked spaceshuttle’s captain must save what’s left of her passengers and crew, while owned by a male slave in a society using women only for breeding.


Protagonists:
Strong, independent leader unfamiliar with gender bias;
her “master”— privileged, but enslaved. A double twist on sex/power role reversal.

Cast of characters:
Indigenous “normals” (male slave-technicians); disposable females; sterile mutant male guards; semi-mutant male rulers; several still-alive crew members hiding in still-launchable ship; despotic ruler’s mutant, not-all-bad heir.

. . stir it up with “Julius Caesar” style conspirators and an “Et tu, Brute?” ending. . . and love conquers all.

...obviously written in my 'old life' before i took an oath to never again use violence to entertain...:redface:

Sounds like an interesting bit of writing. Well done.

maia that is most wonderful news, congratulations on doing so well.

You must be very proud of your accomplishment.

Thank you for sharing the wonderful news with us :)

thanks, t!... fyi, 'wonderful' would be getting an option or sale offer... but i'm not greedy, so placing at all was nice enough... especially as it was the first screenplay i ever wrote and before i did, had never even seen or read one...
