So here we have my entry into the 3rd round of the NYC Midnight short screenplay competition and… OOF BOOF. This was probably the most difficult prompt I’ve received so far in one of these challenges.

It is SO DIFFICULT to be funny on command. Especially in a situation where you have a very limited window to come up with something funny. And I don’t think it’s particularly my specialty to write pieces that are laugh out loud funny. I think I can do wry comedy or dry comedy pretty well, but not on command most of the time.

Having said that, this was an incredible opportunity for me to challenge myself. I don’t think that the story or writing are particularly strong on this one, so I understand why I didn’t place in this round. I did receive an honorable mention, which is nice of them, but it’s definitely not my best work. Having said that, let’s look at this screenplay. I’ll post the judge’s feedback for this one shortly, as well!
