If everyone on here put their vote in you'd probably landslide the win.
C'mon people!

Has the contest been taken down? I can't find it.
It's still up for me. When you click the link, hit the rectangle box that says "click here to visit taleflick discovery"
I don't mind voting, but it seems to me that the site is simply measuring how well-connected and savvy the authors are with social media. The voting has little to do with the quality of the script. I wonder if the site is mostly doing something very different from how it's portrayed.
nah. the hustler was a good movie. tcom was tom cruise prancing around with the cue behind his back. crappy story.
I voted for you. Best of luck. How about telling us a little more about the movie?
I've read "The Hustled and Gotten". It has a very good story line, told/narrated through a Mr. Rogers type character, which I wasn't crazy about. Sort of like a preacher telling a dirty joke and omitting all the dirty parts. Sure the joke might still be funny, but it loses a lot of its color, its authenticity.
Anyway, it's a very good story, a good book. But I'd need to read the competing works before casting any vote for movie possibilities.
UPDATE: After studying up on the competition, Joe's story is the only pool related story, so I voted for it! And I'm going to share it on Facebook.

The site creator seems to have tapped into a great moneymaking idea -- pay only $88 to submit a story that might catch a producer's eye in Hollywood. It could very well be a genuine opportunity for independent/self-publishing writers, and if so that's not a bad price to pay. At the very least, $88/year is cheap advertising.
I'm sure the site is straight up, providing a great opportunity for writers that would otherwise have no such opportunity, regardless of the likelihood that most of those $88 submissions won't amount to anything. But there are always exceptions, and Joe has written a very good story, well worth reading. Sometimes all it takes is having the right person see it.
Sound like someone has an idea to turn $88.00 into a money flow, I honeslty could not read a script fast enoght to make this a profitable venture. Wonder if this reading service has any trace record of catching producer ears.
Here is a quick link that brings Joe's book to the top of the page for quick access....
