I have attatched an idea that I've had for a short film. I'm looking to get this film produced and out to be seen by the public through different channels.

Attatched is a fresh and compelling idea for a short film centered on three friends with different disabilities (blind, deaf, and paralyzed legs) who are about to graduate from high school:

We're building a viral AI travel vlog series featuring unique characters like Bigfoot, Stormtroopers, and other fictional personas exploring real-world locations. Each 8-minute YouTube video is a cinematic, funny, and storyline-driven adventure created entirely with AI tools like Google Veo 3 and AI-generated voiceover. We're looking for a creative scriptwriter who can write compelling, humorous, and consistent storylines formatted for scene-by-scene AI generation.

What You’ll Do:

Write 3 story-driven video scripts per week (~8 minutes each), broken into 7-second scene beats for Google Veo 3 generation.

Build consistent character arcs (e.g., Bigfoot, Yeti, Stormtrooper) that develop across episodes and stay “in character.”

Create funny, engaging, and slightly absurd travel vlogs in places like Paris, Tokyo, the Amazon, or the Sahara – all imagined through the character’s lens.

Include clear camera POVs, tone (vlog-style), environmental cues, dialogue in quotes, and scene structure for AI processing.

Optimize for virality by nailing the hook (first 5 seconds), weaving in running jokes, catchphrases, and TikTok-clip-worthy moments.

Ideal Candidate:

Excellent creative writer with a love for world-building, humor, and storytelling.

Familiar with TikTok/YouTube Shorts pacing and humor (e.g., chaotic vlogs, absurd POVs, Gen Z tone).

Comfortable writing in beats or “shots” (~7 seconds each), with specific prompts per scene.

Experience with Google Veo 3, CapCut, or AI tools a plus (or willingness to learn).

Understands content that scales: character catchphrases, recurring jokes, consistent personas, modular storylines.

Bonus if you:

Have a working knowledge of AI storytelling (e.g., you’ve used ChatGPT, Veo, or similar).

Can write quickly and iterate on feedback.

Know how to inject viral energy into the first 2 seconds of a script.

Example Task:
Write a script titled: “Bigfoot Tries to Catch a Flight to Japan (And Gets Detained at TSA)”. Structure the storyline scene-by-scene, with each segment lasting 7 seconds and formatted to be prompted into Google Veo 3. Include Bigfoot’s dialogue, the environment, camera POV, emotional tone, and quirky plot beats.

How to Apply:

Links to any related creative work (scripts, TikToks, YouTube videos, or prompts)

A writing sample:
Write the first 3 scenes of a vlog titled:
“Yeti Goes to IKEA and Gets Kicked Out”
– Each scene should be ~7 seconds long
– Use first-person narration (Yeti’s POV)
– Include camera POV, visual detail, and narration/dialogue

Example Format:

[Scene 1 – 7 sec]
Wide shot. I stomp through IKEA’s front entrance, wearing snowshoes and sunglasses.
Narration: “The Swedish wilderness led me here... to this flat-pack paradise.”

[Scene 2 – 7 sec]
POV shot. I grab a meatball sample with both hands and sniff it like treasure.
Narration: “They said take one. I took nine. They were *warm*.”

[Scene 3 – 7 sec]
Side shot. A small child points at me and screams. A security guard lifts his walkie.
Narration: “I should’ve worn pants.”

• When writing stories with multiple protagonists who start separated and gradually converge, how do you maintain reader investment in each storyline?
• How do you approach writing combat scenes that serve as metaphors for the story's central themes? What techniques do you use to ensure fight sequences advance character development and thematic concerns rather than just providing spectacle?
• How do you approach writing competing ideologies where both sides have valid points and genuine costs? What techniques do you use to avoid having readers dismiss one side as obviously wrong while still building toward a satisfying thematic resolution?
• When writing scenes involving political maneuvering with multiple factions pursuing hidden agendas, how do you balance the need to convey complex information while maintaining tension and visual interest?
• How do you approach writing a highly intelligent antagonist who successfully deceives other smart characters for extended periods?

Seeking Screenwriter for High-Energy Heist Film (Think Inside Man Meets Heat)
I'm looking to collaborate with a talented screenwriter to develop a smart, character-driven heist film. The tone and energy should be in the vein of Inside Man or Heat, but with a unique structure: the movie opens with a massive shootout in Downtown Los Angeles—essentially showing the end of the story first—then rewinds to the beginning of the day to unravel how we got there.
I'm a big fan of the writing styles of David Mamet and David Koepp—sharp dialogue, tight pacing, and layered characters are key. I also love contained, budget-conscious storytelling with high impact. The budget for this film is approximately $500K, so we need to keep the scope lean without sacrificing energy or intensity.
Ideal collaborator:
Has experience developing complex, believable characters
Understands comedic timing and can weave humor into tension
Preferably has writing credits, but I’m open to newer writers with a strong voice and clear understanding of the genre
If you're passionate about smart crime thrillers and want to help craft something bold, focused, and unforgettable, I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s build something great together.

I need someone that can write a cross between religion and sci fi. I would like it to be funny at some points but more serious. I will provide the humor once script it completed. This project is a cross between the daVinci code and the show supernatural.

Objective:
To create an engaging, suspenseful, and polished true crime video using voiceover, visuals, and sound to captivate viewers and retain attention throughout.

Voiceover audio (narration)

Script (if needed)

Suggested images/clips (optional)

🎥 Editing Style & Expectations:
✨ Visuals:

Use a mix of:

Stock footage (e.g. dark alleys, police lights, courtrooms, anonymous people)

Newspaper clippings / documents / police files (with slow zoom/pan)

Subtle crime scene reenactments (where appropriate)

Blurred or silhouetted images for anonymity

Include text overlays for key names, dates, and places.

Use zoom-in/pan effects to avoid static visuals.

🔊 Audio:

Sync voiceover smoothly with visuals.

Use tense background music (low, cinematic) that builds suspense.

Add subtle sound effects:

Typewriter for documents

Distant sirens, gavel bangs, ticking clocks

Lower background music during emotional or serious narration.

🎨 Style:

Dark-toned color grading (moody, cinematic)

Use a clean, modern font (white or red on black where needed)

Add a simple animated intro and outro (with channel logo/subscribe CTA if possible)

⏱️ Pacing:

Keep a steady, suspenseful pace.

Don’t leave long silent gaps.

Cut out filler words, awkward pauses if editing VO.

🎯 Goal:

Make the viewer feel immersed in the case.

Keep them watching until the end with visual storytelling that matches the tone of the narrative.

Let me know if you need specific examples, preferred templates, or music style. I’m happy to work together to fine-tune the style over time.

If you want, I can turn this into a downloadable doc or message format too. Let me know!
