Indie of the Month!
A monthly competition with a new theme or challenge each month. This time you have 3 months!

May/June/July is:
Quarantine Film Challenge
aka Social Distance Film Challenge Part II

Most of us are still confined to home. We hope everyone is safe and well! So please be SAFE! DO NOT get together a crew, work with yourself and those you are quarantined with, as well as remotely with others. Form your own indietalk team! If a team wins, all members will receive the award as long as they are indietalk members.

If you happen to be in an area where restrictions are relaxed, please follow proper safety protocols. This is for fun and to challenge yourself, not to relax any safety protocols.

This runs for 3 months so as production starts to pick up you will hopefully have more resources!

This is similar to the 48 hour-style challenges. It must be made for this contest only. And to prove that you must adhere to the following:
Genre: Comedy or Comedy Horror
Dialogue: Must include the line "Why didn't I think of that?" as dialogue, monologue, audio, or text
Prop: Must include a can opener

Requirements: Any length. Must adhere to the genre restriction and include the dialogue and prop. We figured everyone has a can opener, manual or electric. If you do not, be creative, and show one on the computer screen, etc. Just be sure to work in all the elements.

Entrants: You have until July 21 to submit your entries, and 2 entries are permitted. You may only enter more than once if you are on a team where upon another team member must post the entry. Example: You entered your own, and did the sound for another.

To enter click Add Media on this page.

Voters: Voting begins after the submission period, you will see a button on each entry. Be sure to bookmark your faves! You will only have one vote so use it wisely! You will not be able to vote for yourself, and any improprieties will be detected*.

Most votes wins. Ties are broken by a 24 hour voting period.

You will see new posts in this thread when members enter, vote, and when deadlines are approaching.

Winner receives:
  • 1 year indiePRO membership
  • A special IOTM membership with an "IOTM Winner" badge
  • A "Winner" ribbon over your entry
  • A "Winner" ribbon over your avatar for the month
  • A winning contest to add to your press kit
  • Bragging rights
Enter every month and if you win, you can extend your membership each time!

ENTER!

*Anyone caught manipulating the system will banned from indietalk. Do not even try!

Good luck!

the dialogue is too on the nose. it sounds more like youre narrating than being a character

i'm not gonna make it right now

oh theres a plant i can eat

oh its a poisonous plant
--

these aren't lines of dialogue. theyre descriptions of whats happening in the story.
opening shot was really well done

It was supposed to be humorous, the note on the plant was "on the nose" too. So it goes with it.

But it's missing a requirement again. Not sure how he can make 3-4 films for this and still not read?
 
I ran into a few issues. My son did not want to sleep and had the innate ability to wake up the moment everything would be setup. Now, due to Covid-19, I am living with my in-laws. Only just now set up my computer to post on here (I hate posting from my phone, don't know why, just don't). At least you extended this through July. I don't think I will be able to produce anything that fits the limitations, but I will still try. Need to come up with a new concept.
 
So two people entered, and neither met all the requirements.

So... for fun you get to vote between the two! There will be ONE winner from these two unofficial entries lol!
 
Voting has started for Indie of the Month May/June/July HERE! (There's an orange Vote button on each entry*)

You have 7 days to vote for a Music Video and can award 1 vote max.

*Very new members will not be able to vote, this is to prevent voter fraud from newly registered accounts. If you are new and want to vote you can start participating on the site and the permission will be granted.
