just adapt the comic series Y: The Last Man into a film, and use Agent 355 as the main character instead of Yorick. Sure it might lose some of it’s effect but if you really want it…

I think the deadline kind of separates the smokers from the jokers, if you know what I mean (Im not sure I even know what that means- that phrase is outdated in so many ways).
Im behind the deadline. But I could go either way.

Also, another question for everybody — what do you think of the deadline? Is it way too short? I was thinking of extending it. A month isn’t very long. But if I extend it, I won’t do it lightly. Once the deadline is nailed down, late entries won’t be considered.

I didn’t put in any length restrictions, specifically because of this contingency.

If you’ve got an idea that you really think has legs that can last for a full-length movie, I say, run with it. Develop that. And we’ll consider it with the other entries.

I expect most of the submissions to be relatively short, but long ones will get equal consideration (a short one could beat a long one, and a long one could beat a short one).

Although, long or short, cutting out the fat in your own editing process, of course, is generally recommended. But that’s just general writing advice.
