Comedy Feature contest -- who submitted?

Let us know if you submitted and tell us more about your scripts!

Horatio Lewis Tihanyi

I'd like to submit my screenplay Krazy Dead. I'm new to Stage 32 so please forgive me but I don't see a link where I can submit. Krazy Dead is pure comedy about an odd-ball famliy that owns and operates a funeral home. I'd love to get some feed back from a Stage 32 contest. Thanks.

GJ Harvey

Thx Pat. I submitted "Dad Band", logline: "When an emo-teen singer's band quits on the eve of a break-in music competition, her last hope against fierce, young rivals is for her estranged Dad to reform his aging 80s band." Good luck to all entrants!

Wal Friman

This one is about a woman who gets tired of falling for the wrong type of men and therefore breaks up with a lot of them. Hence the title.

Hey, Horatio Lewis Tihanyi. The Comedy Feature contest ended, but there are other contests going on, and there's gonna be new contests. Here's the contest page: www.stage32.com/scriptservices/contests

My submission in the Stage 32 Comedy Feature Scriptwriting Contest is When Pigs Fly. It is the only script that I have co-written with another screenwriter, Ed Learner. The journey follows an unambitious slacker whose life is upended because of a new government employment program which sends the unemployed to work on farms in order to receive their benefits. In exchange for their labor, all farm subsidies have been cut off, leaving a confrontation between the farmers and the new government farmworkers. After the workers are being terribly mistreated, the slacker gains enough courage to lead the workers on a strike. The core idea came to me many years ago and recently decided to write a screenplay with a satirical look at government programs and politicians. The absurd humor parallels some of the absurd programs passed in the U.S.

Neil Butler

My wife and I submitted a juicy sex comedy about a loving couple who recover some much needed romance when they start sending their two year old son to the local preschool. Their dormant sexual chemistry is simultaneously reignited and complicated by the dawning realization that this tight knit community of parents is crawling with polyamorous, monogamish and otherwise non-traditional partnerships that flourish during the drop-offs, pick-ups and happy hours that our dual protagonists find themselves welcomed into with open arms. One part Radley Metzger erotic romp, one part mumblecore dramedy, The Busy Box is either a high minded guilty pleasure or a really trashy prestige picture. You tell us...

RomCom alert! ⤵️

I submitted "ADMITTING LOVE."

Connecting on a university trip to Hawaii, a dreamer and a pessimist resist their feelings due to their overwhelming insecurities about love.

Ella Asvar

Excited to share that I've also submitted The Alchemy of Love to the rom-com contest! It's a funny, modern take on the timeless chaos of romance, with a dash of fantasy thanks to a magical formula that turns awkward encounters into comic gold. It's a story that speaks to all hearts, crossing borders and generations, because at its core, it's about the beautiful unpredictability of love. Can't wait for you to meet my brilliant but hilariously clumsy scientist and the sharp-tongued barista who just might be his perfect formula.

Jack Warner

Thank you for inviting me to this great lounge of writers! I submitted my romantic comedy, TREASURE TRAP, that is semi-autobiographical in the same way that John Hughes' stories were for him.

"A trip to a castle for a Live D&D weekend seems like just what a high school girl wants, but it also leads her to discover what life, death, and true love are really about."

Looking forward to seeing all of yours!

Elise Marenson

I submitted my romcom NO WAY BUT UP to the 4th Annual Romantic Comedy Feature Screenplay Contest. It's about a struggling chorus dancer who has a hard time accepting the unfamiliar newness of a happy life, when a lovely rich man out of her league falls in love with her. A twist on the Cinderella story. I hope everyone can relate to Sophie's insecurity when she finally gets lucky after years of a tough life.
