Screenwriting : Family Friendly contest -- who submitted? by Pat Alexander

I submitted the sequel to The Lolly Shop - it's called Dex the Bilby. This is the story my children and I created at bedtime over many years. We self-published and made it into a book series and now we hope to see it become a movie. Wish us luck and thank you for this opportunity!

I submitted A Sister For Christmas, about two girls who are best friends -- and then one of them, Emily, experiences homelessness with her mother -- until the two of them are welcomed into the home of Keisha and her parents, and they all form a kind of family.

I submitted QIANLIMA, a story of a bicycle with magical powers that takes its owner on flights of fantasy to help get through tough times. You don’t choose Qianlima, Qianlima chooses you. In this story, 12-year old Jason loses his father while biking with him. Thinking it was his fault, Jason swears to never ride a bicycle again. But Qianlima finds Jason and helps him not only to get through his grief but also through middle school (including bullying) and ultimately helps him become a world-class Olympic cyclist.

I submitted the pilot episode for a family TV series wherein, against all odds, a little girl struggles to build and run a tiny cargo-carrying railroad to try to save her town from economic ruin and in the process learns a trainload of life lessons.

I submitted PET PROJECT, a comedy about a young techie who is entrusted with working on a special project while house-sitting for his boss. He also agrees to pet sit a dog and two cats owned by the boss's beautiful daughter. Things go sideways when a computer virus turns the pets into people

I submitted 8 Wheels Ago Go. It’s 1983 when a conservative Christian school hosts what looks to be their last roller-skating party. Can fifteen-year-old Miles, a shy kid with a big heart, save the day and couples-skate with the girl of his dreams?

I submitted my script for the pilot episode of a children's animated series called Melly and Delly. It's about a twin brother and sister duo, who live on a small farm with their mom, and they turn their everyday problems into fun antics. It's loads of fun, when their personalities clash. Though they are twins they are very opposite in many ways.

I entered Robo Sapiens. Fun AI characters, live action, and cerebral but clean and fun for all ages.

LOGLINE: A tech expert who wishes he was a robot, that distinguishes humans from foreign AI learns of robots with emotion and free will. However, as some vanish and he must find them that have blended with humans.

Fingers crossed.

Good luck to everyone! Here's my entry, a holiday fantasy-adventure:

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DECORATIONS -- When a disgruntled spirit brings all the neighborhood decorations to life on Halloween, a timid fifth grader must devise a plan to capture it by midnight in order to save her family and friends from becoming decorations themselves forever.

Great Stories and Good Luck! Feature Film Title: "Dueling Destiny" logline: When a young woman’s subconscious materializes as a tiny human called Destiny, she must accept her wacky antics in order to escape her daily grind and find true happiness. Destiny creates chaos to facilitate change for the better, in a young womans life in this comedy with sequences, suitable for school-age to ninety year olds.
