London Film Review gives 50 Kisses 5 stars at LIFF ’14 screening

‘The Price Of Romance’ by Rachel McAdam
Last year I’d entered the LSF scriptwriting contest and had been mortified to discover I’d used the most common scenario. Determined not to be caught doing that again I brainstormed manically until I came up with the idea of a future more elaborate version of Skype where the holographic images of ourselves who did the
‘Neil’: By Nigel Karikari
The backstory? I hear you ask. Well….I had recently completed a fifth draft of a feature script and was about to lean into working up another feature idea when I saw the 50 Kisses competition. Competitions are great! It’s masochistic but the whip hand of the deadline, it sadly gets things done! I saw the
On writing Practice Makes Perfect, by Mark Palis, Guest Blog
I heard about 50 kisses on Facebook. Write a short and get it in the cinema? Boom! Count me in. As soon as I read the challenge, my brain started fizzing with various scenarios. I read on… only one entry per person. What! My plan was going to be to hedge my bets with multiple

Lost the plot? Why taking notes is essential for screenwriters
One of the most powerful lessons I ever learned was that when someone doesn’t get what I am communicating, it’s not their fault, it’s mine. 100% my fault, and 100% of the time. I get it, when someone doesn’t understand what you are saying it’s REALLY frustrating and annoying. But it’s still your fault. This
Lucy V Hay, Bang2Write, Feedback on 50 Kisses Winners
It was always going to be difficult, honing a list of 1800+ scripts down to just 50. It wasn’t just a case of picking only the “best” writing either, but balancing the “best” with the “right” subject matter too – we didn’t want 50 smoochy-smoochy scripts, or 50 outlandish ones either. The reading team needed
Getting to the 50
It would be this morning that the central line decides to crash and burn as I travel to Ealing Studios early to announce the 50 Kisses winners.Flipping Olympics, don’t they know we have 50 Kisses to announce?

50 Kisses Draft 1… time for a redraft?
We have spent weeks refining 1,870 scripts that were submitted to 50 Kisses, down to the final 50. We got there over the weekend, but then we discovered we had a problem. We effectively had a first draft of a feature film, and like any first draft, it’s not ready to be shot. The main
