December 1st Scene Winner Testimonials:

I’d never seen a contest that took only the first moment of a screenplay. The first moments can make or break a script in any competition, but I like that WILDsound looks at the opening on its own. Positive feedback on an unfinished piece can truly motivate a writer to push through to the end.
– LOVELESS by Chris Courtney Martin

Everyone always says the first 10 pages will make or break you.

Happy Birthday: Boy George

boygeorgeHappy Birthday musician Boy George

Born: June 14, 1961 in Eltham, Kent, England, UK

He was the lead singer and vocals of 80s band Culture Club which formed from 1981-1986. Joined together again in 1998.

Has four brothers: Gerald, Kevin, David and Richard.

Has one sister: Siobhan

Co-lead vocal, with Annabella Lwin, in Bow Wow Wow for a short while under the stage name of “Lieutenant Lush”.

Overcame a heroin addiction which nearly killed him c. 1987; was treated by electro-acupuncture, as was Eric Clapton in the 1970s.

QUOTES:

I’m bisexual… when I want sex, I buy it.

When it comes to DJing, I’m more of a shit stirrer than a mixer.

I know Victoria’s Secret – He’s a man!

I am what I am. There’s nothing I can do about it.

I don’t get all this Speedo stuff actually, I mean, whatever happened to the feather boa?

I tend to deal with depression by being angry which is probably not a good thing. What really makes me depressed? I guess sometimes there’s a revelation that you’re on your own no matter how many people you know – that’s quite depressing.

[on ending his feud with George Michael] We have exchanged emails and things are pretty good between us. We’ve spoken a couple of times and he’s doing OK.
