Sculpting. Get into sculpting, Carson. Do something for yourself. Canasta, ballroom dancing... something.

In serious, this would be an incredible undertaking with little likely payoff. I see the Logline Contest you have going as a totally ambitious undertaking as it is. Maybe just do something like this for unrepped peeps. Sorry Mr. Martell.

Another suggestion would be to ask unrepped writers to hook you with a body of work rather than one single log. So rather than best unrepped screenplays... you'd be looking for the best unrepped writers. Might be easier, more manageable. Asking for someone's best 5 loglines would do most of the weeding. Then read their best couple scripts (according to the writer). You might be able to get a nice top ten list.... See More

Not sure I'd take on something like this, but you sir are a bigger man than I.

Apparently the script was written back in the late 80's, early 90's. Appropriate for the time.

It makes more sense that it was written around that time. The format is a little jarring and the style smelled a little shaney.
