I was asked, on the basis of my having written a pretty good book, to "help" write the script for one of the Chicago teams for the 48 Hour Film Project; a 48 hour contest where you have to write, film and post-produce a 4 to 7 minute film.
When our team had drawn its genre and went back to our headquarters to get started writing, we found out that the primary writer was really an actor, not a writer. Well, I panicked, and then had a twenty minute nervous breakdown because I had never written a movie script. So by about 8:30 I managed to get started on the script. I finished at 5AM. Here's the link to the short, Fallout:

I managed to win for Best Script in Chicago's leg of the international contest. I couldn't believe it, but in retrospect it's pretty cool...
