Requirements

  1. The central CONFLICT is between your Leading Character and Supporting Character over an invented topic NOT drawn from any existing hot-button issue, debate, controversy, or conflict.
  2. That CONFLICT must be portrayed for at least one consecutive minute through physical action only, using no words of any kind — spoken, written, or otherwise.
  3. An invented artifact closely associated with the CONFLICT is shown in at least one close-up.
  4. One character decisively prevails when the other character changes their belief, decision, behavior, or course of action.
