Script Frenzy Ends

On the 26th June the Office of Light and Letter announced to users that Script Frenzy would be no more due to the fact it hasn't grown in participation as much as its other writing programs.

Its saddening news, I always found "Screnzy" easier to get on with than NaNoWriMo and the first year I took part was also the only year I ever completed the challenge. The 100 page script I penned is still not finished but over the years I have kept going back and making little adjustments but the truth is that nothing would have happened without Script Frenzy and I'm sure it will be sorely missed.

The Turner Prize

The four finalists for the Turner prize have just been announced. It features two video/film artists, a performance artist and a painter. Luke Fowler is a Glasgow based artist specialising in documentaries and I hadn't heard much about him before the Turner Prize but then I am a fiction girl at heart rather than a documentary buff. Elizabeth is known for her video installations another area I must admit that I'm no expert in. in general I appreciate art but can't tell you diddly squat about it. However, reading about the nominations I was interested to see some of their work. The last installation I saw was a 20 min film about China at the Choreographing You show at the Southbank centre last year which was enjoyable. I like the interactive nature of installations, it's a nice change from the solo, introspective nature of film.

In other news: Congratulations to any Screnzy competitors who kept going until the bitter end yesterday. My own script was abandoned at fifty pages. I'm in mourning. To celebrate your victory:
