Bahah. If I have the time, the stamina.... maybe but no, not now at this point in my life. Why? Are you going to win something, Adam? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/2.gif)

You would require the stamina to write a script of 15 minutes or less.

im sure this would have mass appeal to certain segments of the film population. there are lots of wannabe script writers out there just as there are lots of wannabe film makers and wannabe actors.

Are we looking for a storyline....a concept ?  or an actual script.

Not something I could do.  BUT, I've had a fantastic idea for an ICBC advert for years.  I keep wishing someone would do it.

You don't want to mess around with trademark & copyright infringement.

That said, you could submit a proposal to ICBC. Potentially quite lucrative.  I have a friend who does corporate videos for London Drugs.  Just one gig a year is enough to pay rent, bills, restaurant meals,  travel, and even Starbucks coffee every day

Well, I have no intentions of  messing around with trademark & copyright infringement....just an idea that's been kicking around in my head for a few years.

This sounds vaguely monastic.
