## Screenwriter Needed for Pilot Episode of an AI-Produced Fantasy/Adventure Series
We are looking for a talented screenwriter to develop an original concept and write the pilot episode of a new series that will be produced using AI filmmaking tools. The series may combine elements of: * Drama * Fantasy * Adventure * History or historical inspiration * Mystery and mythology This contract is for the **first/pilot episode only**. We will produce and publish the pilot to evaluate audience interest. If it is successful, the selected writer may be offered ongoing work on the remaining episodes and future seasons. ### What We Need The selected writer will create: 1. A strong overall concept for a series that could potentially continue for 10–15 episodes 2. A concise description of the world, main characters and central conflict 3. An outline or beat sheet for the pilot 4. A professionally formatted screenplay for the first episode 5. One revision after receiving our feedback A detailed outline for all future episodes is not required at this stage. However, the pilot must introduce a larger story with enough potential to support a complete season. ### Critical Pilot Requirements The first episode must have a powerful beginning and immediately capture the audience’s attention. The pilot should include: * A strong hook within the opening scene or first one to three minutes * An intriguing event, mystery, danger or emotional conflict that creates immediate curiosity * A memorable introduction to the main character * A clear dramatic question that drives the episode * A distinctive fantasy, historical or adventure world * Strong pacing without excessive exposition * Emotional stakes that make viewers care about the characters * A satisfying episode-level story while introducing a larger series conflict * An ending revelation, twist, danger or cliffhanger that makes viewers want to watch episode two The opening should not spend too much time explaining the world. The audience should discover the world naturally through character actions, conflict and visual storytelling. ### AI Production Considerations The episode will be produced using AI video-generation tools. Therefore, the screenplay should be cinematic but reasonably achievable with current AI technology. The writer should: * Maintain visual consistency between scenes * Prioritize strong characters, atmosphere, dialogue and suspense * Think visually and create scenes that can be divided into short AI-generated shots Experience with AI filmmaking is helpful but not required. ### Application Requirements Please include: 1. A short original series pitch of approximately 200–400 words 2. The proposed genre, setting and tone 3. A brief description of the protagonist and central conflict 4. Your idea for the pilot’s opening hook 5. A brief explanation of how the pilot could lead into a larger series 6. Relevant screenplay samples or links to previous work 7. Confirmation that you can deliver the first draft within approximately three days Please do not submit a complete screenplay during the application stage. A concise original pitch is sufficient. ### Paid Deliverables The selected writer will provide: * Working series title * Logline * Short series overview * Main-character descriptions * World and central-conflict summary * Pilot outline or beat sheet * Professionally formatted pilot screenplay * One revision based on our feedback Expected pilot length: approximately **20–30 minutes**, or around **20–30 screenplay pages**. ### Timeline We would like to receive: * Initial concept and pilot outline first * First screenplay draft within approximately three days after concept approval * Revised final screenplay after receiving our feedback Please apply only if you can dedicate sufficient time to the project during this period. ### Ideal Candidate * Experience writing pilots, television episodes, web series or short films * Strong understanding of opening hooks, story structure, pacing and cliffhangers * Ability to write natural and emotionally engaging dialogue * Experience with fantasy, drama, adventure, history or mystery * Ability to introduce a complex world without relying on excessive exposition * Comfortable receiving feedback and revising the screenplay * Interested in a potential long-term collaboration ### Future Collaboration This project begins with the pilot only. After the episode is produced and published, we will evaluate audience response and overall performance. If the pilot is successful, we may hire the same writer to develop: * The complete first-season story arc * The remaining 10–15 episodes * Character and world development * Future seasons * Additional original series or films All commissioned work must be original and created specifically for this project. Final commercial usage and intellectual-property rights will be transferred to us upon full payment. ### Suggested Budget **Fixed price: $200** ### Screening Questions 1. What experience do you have writing pilot episodes or serialized stories? 2. Which of our preferred genres are you strongest in? 3. In a few sentences, what opening hook would you use for your proposed pilot? 4. How would your pilot encourage viewers to watch episode two? 5. Can you deliver the first draft within approximately three days? 6. Are you interested in writing future episodes if the pilot is successful? 7. Please share one relevant screenplay sample. Also, the movie will be in Russian, so it is ok even if you write the Scenario in English, but later we will translate it to Russian (since the current AI technologies hopefully allow to professionally translate the scenario).

# Freelance Screenwriter for Film, Documentary & Entertainment Projects
**Position:** Freelance Screenwriter **Contract Type:** Project-Based / Fixed-Price **Initial Project:** 4–6 Weeks **Initial Budget:** $500 Fixed Price **Potential for Ongoing Projects:** Yes ## About the Position We are seeking a talented, creative, and dependable **Freelance Screenwriter** to collaborate with us on current and future film and entertainment projects. We are developing a growing slate of original projects for **2027 and beyond**, including feature-length films, documentaries, scripted projects, true-story projects, short films, and other entertainment content. We are looking for a writer who can take an original concept, research package, treatment, outline, or creative direction and transform it into a compelling story suitable for production. This position will begin with one project. However, we are interested in identifying a screenwriter who can potentially return for **additional paid projects and writing assignments** as our production slate grows. ## Responsibilities Depending on the project, assignments may include: * Developing original story concepts * Creating treatments and detailed story outlines * Developing characters and character arcs * Developing strong narrative structures * Writing feature-length screenplays * Writing documentary scripts * Writing short-film scripts * Developing scenes and dialogue * Writing narration and voice-over * Creating interview questions for documentary projects * Structuring feature-length stories * Reviewing research and source material * Collaborating with researchers and other production team members * Identifying story or research gaps * Revising scripts based on Producer feedback * Strengthening pacing, emotional impact, dialogue, and storytelling * Preparing scripts for production * Making revisions during production or post-production when necessary ## Types of Projects Projects may include: * Feature films * Historical documentaries * Biographical documentaries * Short films * Scripted drama * True-story projects * Cultural and historical stories * Film and television concepts * Digital entertainment projects * Other original scripted and nonfiction content Writers do not need experience in every category. We are primarily interested in finding someone with **strong storytelling instincts who can adapt their writing style to different types of projects.** ## Initial Assignment The selected screenwriter will begin with an approximately **4–6 week assignment**. The initial project is expected to include the following stages: ### Milestone 1 — Story Development & Detailed Outline Review the project concept and materials and develop the overall narrative structure, major story beats, characters or subjects, and detailed outline. **Budget: $100** ### Milestone 2 — Treatment Develop a detailed treatment or story breakdown based on the approved creative direction. **Budget: $100** ### Milestone 3 — First Screenplay / Script Draft Produce the first complete draft based on the approved treatment, outline, and project materials. **Budget: $300** ### Total Initial Contract **$500 Fixed Price** For a traditional feature-length scripted project, the expected screenplay may generally fall within approximately **80–100 pages**, depending on the story and approved project requirements. Documentary, short-film, and other assignments may have different page requirements. The expected length and deliverables will be established before each project begins. Additional revisions beyond the agreed initial scope or future projects will be handled through **separate paid milestones or contracts**. ## Collaboration Depending on the project, the screenwriter may collaborate with: * Producer / Executive Producer * Documentary Researcher * Director * Editor * Other writers * Additional production team members For research-based projects, the screenwriter may receive verified research and source material from a dedicated researcher. The screenwriter should be comfortable identifying missing information and communicating research needs rather than inventing unsupported facts. Major creative and editorial decisions will remain subject to **Producer approval**. ## Required Qualifications We are interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following: * Screenwriting * Feature-film writing * Documentary writing * Television writing * Short films * Feature-length storytelling * Script development * Treatments and story outlines * Dialogue and character development * Long-form nonfiction storytelling Professional credits are welcome but **not required** if you have strong writing samples demonstrating your ability. Emerging screenwriters with excellent samples are encouraged to apply. ## Writing Samples Required Applicants must provide a **screenwriting sample** with their proposal.

Applicants must also be responsive, professional, organized, comfortable receiving constructive feedback, able to meet agreed deadlines, and willing to communicate consistently throughout an active assignment. If communication becomes difficult or deadlines are repeatedly missed, we will not be able to continue the working relationship. ## Use of AI We are looking for a **screenwriter, not someone who simply submits AI-generated scripts.** AI may be used appropriately as a creative or organizational tool, but the writer is expected to provide original creative judgment, storytelling, structure, dialogue, revisions, and professional-quality writing. For historical or documentary projects, AI-generated information must never be presented as a factual source. ## Confidentiality & Intellectual Property Our projects may involve original concepts, stories, characters, research, and materials that have not been publicly announced. The selected writer may be required to sign appropriate **confidentiality, intellectual-property, and/or work-for-hire agreements** before receiving certain project materials.

A brief introduction and description of your screenwriting experience. 2. A **10–20 page screenplay sample**, preferably consecutive pages from the same script. 3. Examples of films, documentaries, television projects, short films, or other scripts you have written. 4. The genres and types of projects you are strongest at writing. 5.

We are developing multiple projects for **2027 and beyond** and are interested in building relationships with talented screenwriters who understand our creative direction and work well with our production team. A screenwriter who delivers strong work, communicates consistently, meets deadlines, accepts feedback professionally, and produces high-quality scripts may be considered for **additional paid screenwriting assignments on future projects.**

Scriptwriter / Story Producer — Bodycam Documentary YouTube Channel (Long-Term)
Applied

$1,800
|

|
||
|
I run a YouTube channel built around real police bodycam footage, edited into 40–50 minute documentaries. The footage is public and anyone can get it. The script is the only reason someone watches my version instead of somebody else's. That's what I'm hiring for.
I want one writer for the long term, not a rotating cast of freelancers. Someone who learns the format, gets sharper with every video, and eventually knows what works better than I do. What you'd actually be doing You get the case: the raw footage, the reports, the timeline, whatever else I've pulled together. You come back with the blueprint for the whole video. That means: The structure. What we open on, what we hold back, where we break for context, where the story turns. You're deciding the shape of 45 minutes. The narration. Every word the voiceover reads. Written to be spoken out loud, not read off a page. The beats. For each footage segment, tell me which moment you want and why: "Reyes cam, the moment he sees the passenger reach down — hold there, no narration, let it run until the shouting stops." You don't need frame-accurate timestamps. My editor finds the exact frame. You decide what matters and in what order. Format is a simple two-column doc — footage beat on the left, narration on the right. Blank narration cells where the footage should just play. Knowing where those blanks go is most of the job. What I care about Retention. Real, structural retention, not gimmicks. Open loops, controlled information, tension that builds instead of resetting every five minutes. If you understand why a viewer leaves at 1:40 and how to stop it, we'll get along fine. If you write "In this video, we're going to take a look at..." we won't. And accuracy. This is real footage, real people, often the worst day of their lives. No inventing motive, no fabricated dialogue, no sensationalizing what didn't happen. The facts are dramatic enough. Handle them straight. Requirements — please skip this one if these aren't true You've written scripts for YouTube channels that performed. I want links to the videos and their view counts. Not a portfolio of unpublished samples. No AI-written scripts. Use AI for research or organizing notes if you want, that's your business. But the writing has to be yours. I read a lot of scripts and I know what it sounds like. If I find AI-written work passed off as original, we're done immediately. No plagiarism. Not from other channels, not from articles, not "rewritten" from someone else's video. I check. English at native or fully fluent level. This gets read aloud, so it has to sound like a person talking. You can handle heavy material without either flinching from it or getting off on it. The work 2 scripts per week, ongoing. That's a real load at this length and I know it, so I'd rather have two strong scripts than three rushed ones. If you think you can do more once we've found a rhythm, we'll talk about it then. Getting 40 usd per script , in many cases you remaking videos with the same bodycam footages and rewriting it I pick the cases and hand you everything you need. Before you write a single word, you'll get my style reference — a video that shows exactly the tone I'm after — plus the script template and formatting notes. Nobody has to guess what I want. How to apply Please don't send a template. Four honest sentences beat a polished proposal you sent to fifty other people, and I can tell the difference instantly. Send me: Links to 2–3 videos you wrote, with view counts. Tell me which structural decisions were yours. Pick any bodycam or true-crime documentary video — mine or anyone's — and tell me one specific thing you'd change about how it's written and why. One paragraph. Start your message with the word BODYCAM so I know you read this. Your rate per script and how many you can take per week. Everyone I shortlist gets a paid test script on a real case. If it works, we start right away, and I'll raise your rate as we go. I'd much rather pay one good writer properly than churn through cheap ones.

For each section of the script, you’ll decide how the story should be shown visually, for example: Full character animation / dialogue scenes Geopolitical map animations Main-character/narrator scenes Camera movements, zooms and transitions Editor/footage sections Backgrounds, characters, props and other visual elements You will not need to animate or draw the video yourself. Your job is to creatively visualize the script and give our production team clear direction on what should happen on screen. Our videos combine history, geopolitics, storytelling, humor and animation, so we’re looking for someone with strong visual storytelling instincts who can turn narration into entertaining scenes rather than simply describing what the narrator is saying.

Interactive Horror Novel Playtest

I’ve recently finished an interactive horror experience that blends branching gameplay with richly written scenes. Before releasing it to a wider audience, I need a sharp-eyed reader-player who can dive in, complete at least one full play-through (more if you like), and give me candid, actionable feedback.
Here is what matters most to me: • Gameplay – Tell me how the interactivity feels overall, with particular attention to its immersiveness. – Let me know whether the storyline remains engaging from opening to finale. – Comment on difficulty: are choices, puzzles, or survival mechanics too punishing, too easy, or just right? • Prose – I’m keen to hear how the descriptive language lands. Does the atmosphere crawl under your skin? Are there moments where wording pulls you out of the scene? Deliverables 1. A short summary of your play-through path(s). 2. A written report (approx. 1–2 pages) covering the points above, noting any standout strengths and specific spots that need improvement. 3. Optional: annotated screenshots or quotes to illustrate feedback. You’ll receive a private link to the current build as soon as we start. No special tools needed—just a desktop browser, a willingness to explore dark places, and an eye for detail.

Every tale should revolve around the theme of friendship and unfold in a colourful fantasy world filled with talking animals, kids who boast quirky abilities, and the occasional gentle dragon or other magical creature.
Here’s what I need from you: • A child-friendly story that is simple enough for nine-year-olds yet still imaginative and engaging. • Natural-sounding dialogue, clear narration, and a cheerful moral that leaves young readers feeling positive. • Scene-by-scene descriptions (framed like short “shot lists”) so an illustrator or animator can visualise each moment without extra guidance. Good grammar, lively wording, and originality are non-negotiable—I will be checking. Please attach your strongest sample of previous children’s story work when you respond so I can gauge voice and fit. If everything clicks, there will be room for multiple stories and ongoing collaboration. I look forward to reading your magical friendship adventures!

I’m putting together a new stand-up set and need a comedy writer who can deliver fresh, observational material that works for audiences of all ages. The jokes should spring from everyday scenarios—queues at the supermarket, misplacing the TV remote, that moment your phone battery turns red—anything universally relatable that a parent, teen, or grandparent can laugh at together.
Because I perform for mixed-age crowds, the script must stay clean: no strong language or explicit content. Political rants and “hot-button” topics are fine to leave on the shelf if they don’t naturally serve the punchline, but the only absolute no-go is profanity. Here’s what I’m looking for: • A stand-up routine built around sharp observations and a conversational tone. • Natural set-ups and payoffs that suit my delivery style (lightly self-deprecating, upbeat). • A structure I can slot straight into a live show—opening bit, middle run, and a memorable closer. When you respond, please include: – A short sample joke in this family-friendly style. – An outline of how many minutes or words you recommend for the full set and your turnaround time. I’m ready to get started as soon as I find the right comedic voice. Skills: Ghostwriting, Fiction, Book Writing, Screenwriting, Creative Writing, Content Writing, Comedy Writing, Script Writing

Seeking Film Development & Pitch Consultant
True New Orleans Story — The Colored Waifs’ Home I am seeking an experienced film/television development professional, producer, screenwriter, or pitch consultant to help develop and position a feature film or limited series based on the remarkable true story of New Orleans’ Colored Waifs’ Home. At the center of the story are Captain Joseph G. Jones, his wife Manuella Duplessis Jones, and Professor Peter Davis, whose work with disadvantaged and wayward African American boys in early twentieth-century New Orleans helped create an extraordinary environment of discipline, education, structure, marching, and music. Captain Jones was a veteran of the Spanish-American War and subsequent military service connected with the Cuban and Philippine campaigns. Drawing upon his military experience, Jones brought structure and discipline to boys who might otherwise have faced incarceration alongside adults. Working beside him was Manuella Duplessis Jones, whose important but largely forgotten role included caring for the boys and helping sustain the institution. Another central figure was Professor Peter Davis, the home's music instructor. Under Davis, music became an important part of the institution's program and identity. Among the boys who passed through the Colored Waifs’ Home was an impoverished New Orleans youngster named Louis Armstrong. Armstrong's experiences at the Home—and particularly his exposure to its disciplined musical environment—became an important part of his development. He would eventually emerge as one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. But this is not intended to be another Louis Armstrong biographical film. The larger story is about the people and institution that were there before the world knew Louis Armstrong: Captain Joseph Jones, Manuella Duplessis Jones, Professor Peter Davis, the boys they cared for, and the remarkable environment they created within segregated New Orleans. Armstrong provides an extraordinary historical thread through the film, but the project's purpose is to bring the largely forgotten story of the Colored Waifs’ Home and the people behind it to the screen. The Project Years of historical and genealogical research have produced a substantial collection of archival material, photographs, newspaper accounts, government records, family history, and other primary-source evidence relating to the Home and the people associated with it. I am looking for someone who can help transform this material into a compelling cinematic narrative and professional pitch package. The engagement may include: Evaluating the historical research and identifying the strongest dramatic narrative Developing the principal characters, conflicts, themes, and story arc Determining whether the material is best suited for a feature film, limited series, or another format Developing or refining the logline, synopsis, treatment, and pitch deck Identifying the project's strongest historical, emotional, and commercial selling points Determining how Louis Armstrong should be incorporated without allowing his fame to overwhelm the larger story Preparing the project for presentation to producers, production companies, studios, streaming platforms, and potential financing partners Advising on screenplay development, packaging, financing, and the practical path toward production Ideal Candidate The ideal collaborator will have professional experience in film or television development, producing, screenwriting, historical drama, documentary storytelling, entertainment pitching, or project packaging. Experience with African American history, New Orleans history, music-related films, historical dramas, biographical projects, or true-story adaptations would be particularly valuable. I am especially interested in someone who understands that the project's most distinctive opportunity lies not simply in portraying a famous musician, but in revealing the largely forgotten people and institution that helped create an environment in which that musician could begin to emerge. The objective is to tell a powerful American story—and finally give Captain Joseph G. Jones, Manuella Duplessis Jones, Professor Peter Davis, the boys of the Colored Waifs’ Home, and the institution itself their rightful place in the historical narrative. Serious inquiries from experienced development professionals and qualified collaborators are welcome.

What I need:
I want scripts written for my short-form Reels that blend two styles together: Brain rot style — chaotic, fast-paced, meme-heavy, internet-native humor that grabs attention instantly. Nolan-style storytelling — non-linear, twist-based, layered reveals (like Inception, Tenet, Memento). The goal is content that feels fun, unhinged, and scroll-stopping on the surface, but has a clever twist or "wait, what?" moment underneath.

# AI Filmmaker — 60-Minute Sci-Fi Feature (H.G. Wells adaptation) — Act by Act, Fully Documented Brief
**Budget:** to discuss — per act, five acts **Length:** ~2–3 months, act by act **Experience level:** Intermediate to Expert --- ## The short version I have a complete, locked pre-production package for a 60-minute AI-generated feature film: a faithful adaptation of H.G. Wells' *The War of the Worlds*, set in the present day. Beat sheet, shot script, directing canon, character and creature canon, camera handbook, asset list — all written and approved. What I don't have is the time to produce it. I'm looking for one AI filmmaker to take the locked documents and make the film, act by act, at a high standard. You won't be inventing the story, the structure, the look or the packaging. You'll be executing a very specific brief with real craft, and iterating with me on every act until it's right. --- ## What the project is A 60-minute creature/disaster feature — an invasion film. Faithful to the 1898 novel rather than to any of the film adaptations, with the narrator inverted into a woman as the lead. Photoreal, cinematic, largely without dialogue, built to be understood visually and subtitled into sixteen languages. Five acts of roughly twelve minutes each. Roughly 250–300 authored beats, generated as 10–15 second clips and assembled into a timeline. You do not need to know the novel — everything you need is in the documents, including the 1906 public-domain illustrations that define the machine design. ## What you'll be given (all locked, nothing to invent) - **A ~300-row beat sheet**: every beat with its story function, performance action, camera and staging intention, continuity state, geography, gauges, generation strategy, reference assets and packaging flags. - **A production book**: five-act shot script, the four story ledgers, canon sheets for the lead, the creature and the machines, the on-screen-text list, a risk register. - **A directorial handbook**: per-act camera grammar — exactly which shot sizes, heights, moves and framings each act uses, with the reference films they come from and the prompt language to execute them. - **A production strategy document**: the prompt contract, the guard structure, the identity and continuity rules, and a 45-entry correction ledger of failure modes and their fixes, built over five previous films. - **Locked character and creature references**: ten permanent reference assets, already generated and approved. The documents are unusually complete. Previous films made on this system went from beat sheet to finished picture with almost no rerolls because the prompts are structured and the references are locked. ## What you'll do - Generate the film clip by clip from the beat sheet, act by act, using the locked references and the prompt contract. - Assemble each act on a timeline (I use Filmora; Resolve, Premiere or CapCut are all fine) — trim, sequence, cut to the intended edit points. - Add or vary beats where the material needs it. Some of the best moments on previous films came from a shot that wasn't in the plan. You'll have room for that, within the canon. - Sound: diegetic design and a licensed score (I'll supply the library). No generated music. - Deliver each act as a scored, assembled cut for review, then take one round of notes per act. - Keep a simple production log: accepted prompt, generation count, usable seconds, cost — the template is provided. ## How we'll work **Act by act.** You deliver Act I, we review it, we fix it, and only then do you start Act II. Each act is reviewed by me and by two experienced screenwriters who act as audience proxies — their notes come back as timestamps (where it sags, what's unclear, what should be a look instead of a line). You get one clear round of notes per act, not a drip of opinions. This means you can't disappear for two months and come back with a film. It also means you're never guessing, and you'll know by the end of Act I exactly what "right" looks like on this project. ## Tools Generation is on **fal.ai** (MiniMax, Kling, Flux — I'll cover all generation costs and give you access). If you prefer a different stack and can prove it holds character identity across 300 clips, make the case — but the reference assets are built for this one. ## What I'm looking for **Essential** - A portfolio of AI-generated narrative work — not showreels or montages. I want to see a story you told, with the same character recognisable in multiple shots. - Real editing ability. Half this job is the timeline: knowing that a 15-second generation gives you four usable seconds, and which four. - Comfort working from a detailed brief. This is an execution role with craft in it, not an authorship role. If you need creative control of the story to be interested, this isn't your project. - Reliability across a long project, and the discipline to keep continuity across hundreds of clips. **Nice to have** - Experience with long-form (30+ minutes) rather than shorts. - Sound design. - Any familiarity with Wells, classic sci-fi, or the creature/disaster genre — helpful, not required. **Not required** - Knowledge of the novel. It's a 128-year-old book and the documents tell you everything. - Screenwriting. That's done. ## To apply Please don't send a template. Four things: 1. **One link** to the most story-driven AI film you've made. Tell me in a sentence what was hard about it. 2. **How you hold a character's identity consistent** across a long piece — your actual method, in a few lines. 3. **Your quote per act** (one act = ~12 minutes of finished film, ~50–60 beats), and how long an act takes you. 4. Answer this: **you generate a 15-second clip and only about 6 seconds of it are usable. What do you do?** Short answer, but it tells me whether you've really done this. I'll reply to everyone who answers all four. The first act is paid, and if it works we do the remaining four the same way. --- *This is a flagship film for a new channel. The concept, the design and the thinking are all done and I'm proud of them. The only missing ingredient is time — which is exactly what I'm hiring.* Client's questions:

Screenwriter needed to help finish a short Psychological Dark Fantasy Script
Applied

$175

Hey folks,
I’m looking for a screenwriter to help me finish off a short script I’ve had in the works for a little while now. It’s a character-driven psychological dark fantasy/horror with a touch of romance, currently sitting at around 14 pages, with 16 pages being the ideal target. This isn’t a Page One rewrite. I already have the story, a good deal of the script, and a number of scenes and plot points that I for sure want to keep. Recently I went back over the earlier draft and cut out a few scenes that no longer fit with the direction I'm pursuing, and as a result there are now a few gaps that have to be filled in. I have some ideas regarding those gaps, while others are deliberately open to be played with. For the most part, this is a non-dialogue story, with narration being the only spoken element I’m currently considering. So I’m particularly interested in someone comfortable with visual storytelling and character development without relying heavily on dialogue. The budget is $175, reflecting the fact that this isn’t a complete rewrite from scratch. Ideally, I’d like the required scenes and story beats completed within a week. I’m planning to produce and shoot the film in December as a backup project after another production had to be pushed into the new year, so I’m working to a fairly tight schedule. The material I provide will give you a good sense of the characters and direction of the story, and I’ll discuss the full idea and what I’m hoping to achieve with the successful applicant. I’m much more of a storyteller than a writer myself, which is why I’m looking for someone who can help turn what’s already there into something properly finished. That, and the day job occasionally leaves me too exhausted to concentrate come the evening. As a few breadcrumbs as to what you’d be working on: It is a psychological horror film with character elements, set in the period after societal collapse, and centres on two survivors whose growing connection is tested by an unseen threat. If you’re interested, please include a portfolio with your proposal and at least two samples of your own written work so I can get a proper sense of your writing style. Just a few points to cut everyone some slack: links on IMDb don't really show me how you write, agreeing to produce a free sample page isn't good enough either, and stating that "all my work is under NDA" without providing anything else is unfortunately a guaranteed way of excluding yourself from consideration. If psychological horror, dark fantasy and character-driven storytelling are your cup of tea, I’d be happy to hear from you.
