A proactive writing project, the Dirty Thirty entails writing either a screenplay or a play of AT LEAST 90 PAGES IN THIRTY DAYS.

Writers will be expected to meet certain writing goals each week, and at the end of thirty days, the finished works will be sent to the Project Coordinator.

The project participants will then have TWO DAYS to read at least one other person’s screenplay or play (pairings will be randomly selected) and GIVE NOTES. Each writer will then have 13 days to revise her or his work.

At the end of the 15 days, writers will submit whatever they feel is the best scene from their work (no more than one slug line for movies and no more than 5 minutes for either genre) and submit it to the DIRTY THIRTY NIGHTS, two showcases of the best scenes from the project. After the showcase there will be a closing party.
