The idea comes in various ways. Then I procrastinate under the guise of research. Finally write, then rewrite, then rewrite...

10. What influenced you to enter the WILDsound One Page Script Contest?

It is a nice format that really pushes you to cut your idea down to its essential components, after which you realise you never needed the excess in the first place. Great exercise.

11. Why should people VOTE for your One Page Screenplay and turn it into a film?

I don't know why people should vote for my script and not the others, as I don't know the other scripts or the people. If it helps it's a simple idea with a payoff at the end with a little conflict thrown in.
