Same Soundtrack Different Story
Have you ever heard a song and thought "I can see 1,000 different things happening as this is playing," me too. I write music for films in my area and I want to see what kind of story can be written around the music. I want to see what *YOUR* brain sees when it is exposed to this song. it is a free download on my reverbnation page ( http://tinyurl.com/blactyd ) it is called: Ficly Challenge Song. Download the song and then when you are ready, play it then write the first thing that comes to your mind. It does not matter where or when the story is. I just want to see what you can come up with. I will announce the winner sometime after September 10th (my birthday) and if the subject matter fits it will be turned into a short screen play and filmed and uploaded with *YOUR* name in the credits as the writer. Be creative and have fun!
