Ever had a great idea for an erotic movie? PlaygirlTV is all about bringing women their hottest fantasies on demand, and we’re ready to give you a chance to see your fantasy come to life! If your script is chosen, you’ll win $150 and get on-air credit on PlaygirlTV. All scripts must be written for an eight-to-ten minute erotic vignette and should describe any visuals that you’d like to see in your mini-movie. As a member of the Posse, your screenplay can receive special consideration in the competition; just e-mail it to info@tdmllc.com and write “Submission for Heda” in the subject line. All other entrants can mail their screenplays to Erotic Encounters, 801 Second Ave., NY! , NY 10017.
 
Thanks for the heads up, Imp. This has always interested me. I would like to open a discussion for anyone interested, and simply based on your post, particularly, "Any Visuals that you'd like to see in your mini-movie."

Now, I have read many screenplays, and certainly the best of the bunch allow enough description to elicit a picture in your mind. Minus the shot list of course, since that is the director's creative pursuit as far as I have been taught. (Unless pertinent, for some reason).

However, that one sentance brings two things to mind. First, what do they mean by 'ANY visuals," exactly? Shot list or merely description.

And two how DOES ONE write a whole screenplay (obviously vignette) of porn (note, I know Playgirl is probably erotic and not likely to show much more than that) since porn is not so much dialogue as it is action?

So ... you write a big long montage scene or what? :D

OH, edited to add: and if a mixture of dialogue and action make up approximately one minute per page, how much time does a porn script take on screen per page, since little dialogue would be involved in the 'good' stuff?

:D

Thanks again, Imp.

Not a clue, Charley. I've never even considered writing a screenplay. This just came up on another group, so I thought I'd share. :kiss:

That's ok, I don't expect many to know the answers, I merely enjoy the discussion on screenplays regarding Playgirl, or even an Adult house production, or even a website for that matter. :)
 
I wonder how much of what they are looking for is actual "screenplay" and how much is art direction ideas, with detailed setting and visual descriptions. Maybe a bit of both?

Maybe. Sex can only be described, and I am sure - having see playboy channel, that it is all quite erotic. Perhaps they do need art direction? Maybe they are running out of ideas? $150 is paltry in comparison to what I get paid, but at the same time, I don't get recognized for being involved with X company.

Anyone going for this? I am. What the hell. :D
 
BUMP - None of you great writers? Shame on (SP) laizidaxical (sp) and procrastinating writers. It ain't much, but PR is always worth more than a word? :)

I encourage you. CHALLENGE! You lazy unpublished bastards!

OK CharlyH, I have an idea for a screenplay or actually, a sequence of screenplays that will work very well for Playgirl. However, I have no idea how to "tune" said screenplay. Do they want HOT XXX sex? Do they want XXX sex with romance? Soft core porn only? Tell me please.
