Theme of the Month: Film
For our second theme we give you: film! In this post you'll find brand new challenges dedicated to this theme. You have until March 11th to request or enter as many items as you want and earn points toward a bonus community prize. Prompts can be filled or claimed by multiple people in any fashion they chose (the full list of rules are in our FAQ). Below are a list of acceptable mediums, but keep in mind that nothing is off limits.

Challenge 1: The Black ListNot every film that deserves to be made actually becomes a reality. In fact, some years churn out a pretty paltry batch of "best films" while mountains of good and interesting work remains untouched. Take a look at the black list of unproduced scripts from previous years and show us what you'd do with them. Cast them, stage them, take us along the journey that any other film would take. You are the producer, so it's all up to you!
Challenge 2: Prequels & SequelsThose sequels that never seem to end... or the ones you were waiting for that never happened. Prequels and sequels can be a torture or a blessing, a success or an absolute disaster. Any films where you preferred a prequel or sequel to the original? Where a terrible spinoff tainted how much you enjoyed the first film? Or, of course, films where you're dying to know what happens next.
Challenge 3: B Movie MadnessWe all have our guilty pleasures that we just can't walk away from. Now is the time to spread the love-demonstrate what makes your favorite b movie so great; why you're drawn to it over and over again; why we should throw our good tastes to the wind and actually watch this pile of junk that you cherish so dearly.
Challenge 4: Scenery & DesignHopefully this challenge is self-explanatory. Show or tell us about costumes that made your fingers itch, sets that took your breath away, props and all those environmental details that made your mouth water.
Challenge 5: Behind The ScenesThis challenge is similar to our Element Swap from last month. Plan an alternate universe for a film where only what goes on behind the scenes is different. We're not looking for Billy Elliot set in space, we're looking for Billy Elliot directed by Woody Allen or, better yet, Elia Kazan. Change anything from the cast to the time it was made, just don't touch that plot!
