Guys, if it has history in it, even fictional events in a historical setting, then that's totally fine.
Myths = fictional events
Ancient Egypt = historical setting
Alright my script is finished.
If we could reserve this thread primarily for questions that would be cool.
Jargon already said it, but it keeps coming up. here's where you can post your ideas

Sigged.
Thanks, know one has ever done that to me before! :')
Allright, my script is about 1/4 complete. It will definetely be my longest film. Maybe 8 minutes or so.
Whoops! I haven't started my script 
i am a bit confused about the theme... so the only requirement is that it is in a historical setting?

Hmm, that was what I was thinking. Can we have a history setting, but the film it's self is not historical?

Entries may be based on actual events, or simply include historical settings

That doesn't make any sense. If your film has a historical setting (meaning it is set in the past) then it is a historical film. Don't make this more complicated than it needs to be.
To put it bluntly, all you need to do is set your film in any time period before the present day. It doesn't matter what happens, or whether it's based on a true story, just as long as the setting is not too recent.

Right Okay then. Maybe I will make up a film then

So what you are saying Hazzat, that if I really wanted I could have it in the 1800's with people flying on jets and watching TV? 
Yes StormTrooper. Yes you could.

That's called steampunk.
Seriously though, I don't think that wouldn't really constitute an historic setting. Please, you are deliberately trying to complicate things - it's not half as complex as you're trying to make it.

And you are making it harder to understand, Hazzat. You just said that if I had an Historical Setting that would be allowed yet you have just said "I don't think that wouldn't really constitute an historic setting". I thought a historical setting was supposed to be BASED in the past. I did not realize that the people there had to be. People on previous pages are showing time travels. The same idea that I will be doing. But that means that I can't have a modern day person in a historical setting then? Oh, nevermind! I'll just go ahead with my idea
(Not directed at you ^, StormTrooper)
This thread is filling up with junk 
Read the thread before posting. Let's not end up with a fifty page thread with the question "Does this fit the theme?" Also, as Mason posted, try to have the bulk of your entry discussions in this thread TOY idea discussion thread
Let's try to keep this thread for the more important updates and questions about the contest, not story ideas 
I'm making one about a guy trying to create a time machine so he can prevent the assassination of Archduke Frans-Ferdiland, thus preventing World War 1, World War 2, The Cold War etc.
The problem with that idea is that the major European powers were poised to attack each other, to the extent that any other event could have triggered the First World War.
could we do a "what if" theme? like what if the ussr bombed us during the cold war a sort of alternate-realitty thingymabobber?
