Blind Date – Short Screenplay Top 3 Winner
A short screenplay by Eric Hunsley

The Story: Nathan stands watch during Sarah’s blind date with strict instructions to rescue her if things start going badly. He gets distracted from his duties, however, when he finds himself on an unexpected date of his own.

The Inspiration: In today’s world of Internet dating, I know people take different precautions to avoid tragic dates. I wanted to explore the comedic possibilities if someone’s “precaution” were to backfire.
