Script Contest

We thought it would be fun to have a script contest, with the winning entry being made into a film. No complex juding method; we'll just pick our favorite. :)

No cash prize, just writing credits. Maybe if it is really good, we'll send you a few doughnut holes compliments of DHP.

Here are a few suggested guidelines:

Characters - Less is more. Our core group consists of 7 guys who are rarely all available at once. Five is probably the most reasonable. Females are possible but try not to give them major parts or create awkward situations.

Length - Preferrably under 30 minutes and over 2 minutes. We can make exceptions for something that really grabs our attention, however.

Story - Remember, we are in SoCal. We have a lot of varying terrain, but there still are limitations. We're also college and highschool students with limited income, so some ideas may be ommitted simply for being unrealistic with our financial and geographical status. Christian message is a huge plus if written well.

Script - If it's comedy, feel free to include dialogue but we may stick in some of our own mania. If it's drama, dialogue is a huge plus. But again, it may be edited slightly if the actors have trouble with it.

Send your entries to:

You know what guys! WOW, that's a great idea!! I should have thought of something like that before for my stuff! Great idea!
I'm TERRRRRRRRIBLE with plot lines, so don't expect one from me. :D

Sounds like lots of fun. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunatly for you, I'm not any good at such artistic endeavours. I'll look forward to seeing the creativity that surfaces. All the best!

I don't know about that Becky I could see you comming up with something good you should make a stab at atleast.

What is your normal budget on a film both monetarily and timewise? Also what do you all have as far as wardrobe? I'm assuming your best genres are western and modern. List of obtainable vehicles would also be helpful.

about $0.00

Timewise...the longer and harder the movie, the longer it will take us to finish it, naturally. We will film it when we have time. Kevin is right about the money. No real fancy vehicles. We have a few older cars and the famous green van. Oh, and one beat up suburban.

Hi! I'm new here, but I think you might have an idea who I am. I have a question for ya'll! Is the contest open to ANYONE who wants to submit a script to DHP Films?

Comment by Kyle on 1/30/2007 @ 9:44:50 AM
Yep, it's open to anyone. We'd love to have an entry from you. And yeah, I sorta indirectly know who you are. :)

Comment by Kevin on 1/30/2007 @ 2:54:28 PM
Yeah we know who you are. Say hi to your sister for me. ;) You are certainly welcome creativity is not a strong point around here. :)

Comment by Kayla Updike on 1/31/2007 @ 8:24:58 AM
Say, thanks guys! You've given me alot of encouragement! I'll be sure to tell Dawna HI!

Comment by Kevin on 1/31/2007 @ 12:09:04 PM
Hey what can I say we need it. :)

Comment by Jay on 2/1/2007 @ 6:39:52 PM
Would it be rude to agree with you?
:D Just Kidding!

Comment by Andrew on 2/1/2007 @ 7:36:19 PM
No, but it'd be rude to say something about it. ;) jk, of course.

Everyone is welcome to send in their ideas/scripts/plots.

Comment by Kayla Updike on 2/2/2007 @ 2:19:47 PM
By what time do the scripts need to be in? Do you guys have a specific date?

Comment by Kevin Weston on 2/3/2007 @ 7:22:05 AM
Not really whenever you can have it ready by. :)

Comment by Kayla on 2/14/2007 @ 8:06:21 PM
Just to let you know, my script may take awhile. So if you have alot of other entries go ahead and pick one, don't wait for me. I never could finish any story or script I started!

I am Probably Going to win. :)

Comment by Laura on 2/18/2007 @ 5:02:41 PM
I'm afraid you shouldn't look for one from me... I just don't think it's gonna happen. But if I suddenly have an inspiration I'll definitely try to create one...

Comment by Kevs on 2/22/2007 @ 3:54:30 PM
That is good everything we get is great.

Comment by Lois on 4/21/2007 @ 8:32:27 PM
I know it's April, and you guys already have a film underway, but can i still submit a script or are you not accepting them anymore?
Not that you are going to receive one tonight....im just wondering if you are still open to suggestions.
Thanks :)

Comment by Justin on 4/27/2007 @ 9:02:46 PM
Feel free to send it in...Thing is, we're kinda off the big-production deal at the moment. I'm not saying it wouldn't get done, but if it did, it would likely take a while given that we just finished a big movie.
