Take One

Take One (1966-79) was a Montréal-based film magazine offering criticism and news about international, Canadian, and Hollywood cinema. Founded by Peter Lebensold, Adam Symansky, and John Roston—alumni of the McGill Film Society—its creation coincided with the burgeoning Canadian film industry, which Take One placed in global context. Articles included essays by filmmakers themselves, such as Brian DePalma and Richard Dreyfuss. The magazine concluded its run in 1979 after publishing 81 issues, but remained sufficiently influential that a 1992 Toronto-based magazine took the same title in homage to the original.

The Take One Write-A-ScriptFor-DePaima Contest We know there are thousands of talented potential screenwriters who have just never had the chance to break into the Big Time. More important, Brian DePalma knows it too. DePalma, whose film credits include Carrie, Obsession and The Fury, and who will soon be directing John Travolta in Prince of the City, has come to Take One with the exciting idea of giving our readers the chance to show him what they can do with his original treatment, printed on the next three pages. Through a series of preliminary selections, three to five finalists, each of whom will receive $500, will be chosen to write complete screenplays, working closely with DePalma in the process. The winner stands a good chance of having his or her script made into a major motion picture by Brian DePalma. Select two scenes from the following treatment, write them up in proper screenplay form (no more than ten typewritten pages per scene) and send them to us with the entry form on page 22. Canadian entries should be sent to Take One, 1411 Crescent Street, Montreal H3G 2B3. In order to avoid the vagaries of the Canadian postal service, US entrants should mail to Take One, Box 171, Rouses Point, New York 12979. All entries must be in our hands by February 15, 1979. Good luck, and be sure to follow the progress of the contest in future issues of Take One. TAKE ONE /JANUARY 1979 19
