Sometimes the same story can be completely different when told in a different context. For example, A coucil meeting (like the council of Elrond scene in the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring) would look, sound & feel completely different if it took place in a western or a comedy. Your Task: Take a scene from a screenplay and re-write it in another genre.
This site was initially established by Basil Shadid and produced by being MEdia as a way to develop the screenwriting craft. He wanted exercises that would challenge his abilities as a writer. billie rain, an amazing writer and editor, came on board soon after, to create new exercise ideas and to hone the ideas that already existed.
Enjoy!
