We gathered up all the sheets, did the god awful thing and dumped them in a hat, then drew the elements for our first production.
I’d like to add, hot damn am I glad a some of these did not get picked. Perhaps I did a poor job of explaining that this is a project that is going to be produced. ON A LOW TO NO BUDGET. How was I going to make a grounded barge? An optimistic Apocalypse Mystery… Really?
Oh well, I am sure we would have figured it out. The rules are loose on purpose. The idea for the Super Fantastic Mad Lib Film Club is to test our creativity and stretch our story telling muscles after all.

WHAT DID GET CHOSEN?
Time to take this project to the next stage of production: the brainstorm! So we have to make a short “Puppet Crime Drama” called “Broken Tommy” featuring “Peter Wiener” saying “Really? Really that’s all you've got?” using “a left shoe…” Maybe I bit off more than I can chew with this project. Read all about what we threw against a wall, what stuck and what did not here.
Thank you all for your participation in this gift of adventure.
