1. At the start of 2007, The List joined forces with Metro Ecosse to launch One Minute Wonder, a national short film competition that gives Scotland's writing talent the chance to see their script brought to life in film. 2. The competition's aim was to discover fantastic new talent in the Scottish film industry and highlight the great filmmaking facilities that Scotland has to offer. 3. Five scripts from over 100 entries were chosen to be made in to One Minute Wonders. They all incorporate the 2007 theme, WILD! 4.
