Taking the FILM INDEPENDENT SCREENWRITERS LAB leap

So in true-procrastinator yet super-spontaneous fashion, I'm taking the leap and submitting my feature spec, Unravelled, to IFP's Screenwriters Lab.

Unravelled is a supernatural horror feature about a man's guilt manifesting in the form of estranged ghosts who haunt him and his family. This spec placed ever-so-briefly as a quarterfinalist in Creative Screenwriting Magazine's AAA contest in December 05.

I have a pretty good idea of what I'll do to improve Unravelled's future in the screenwriting market ... but ... since I'm always busy, I love the fact that if I'm selected for the IFP Screenwriters Lab, someone will FORCE me to focus on Unravelled again for seven weeks straight. Plus, I'll have to have homework ready twice a week when the IFP Screenwriters Lab meets in the evenings so I don't have to stand in the corner with a dunce cap. If selected for the Lab, I'll blog at least a couple times a week about the experience, and you can read in agony and ecstacy as my procrastinator/spontaneous selves duke it out.

Since applications are due in, like, four days, on April 10, I've got to sign off and prepare. If you want to join the IFP Screenwriters Lab party, I've posted the details below. Only ten applicants are accepted ... Good Luck!
