Hello all,
Don't know if I should've posted this on the forum, but here goes it anyway. I have been assigned as the creative consultant for a new European production company that will do mostly sub-contract work for other bigger studios, but we have agreed to consider 6 to 10 original stories per year that fit in the 1 to 3 million category for eventual production. To that purpose, I am reading scripts and making recommendations. So, if you have a finished script and want to be considered, read below:
- I will ONLY accept FINISHED SCRIPTS, not treatments, however long they are or pitches of any type.
- We prefer stories that take place, and/or can be filmed in Europe over anything that must be done in the USA or anywhere else. If the story takes place anywhere, including the US, but can be filmed in Europe, then this fits the criteria. Also, this is not to say that a great script that requires production in the US won't be considered, but preference will be given to European productions.
- I WILL ONLY ACCEPT SCRIPTS THAT ARE REGISTERED WITH THE WGA IN AMERICA OR WCA IN EUROPE, SO I NEED TO SEE A REGISTRATION OR RECEIPT NUMBER BEFORE EVEN ACCEPTING A SCRIPT. THIS IS YOUR GUARANTEE THAT YOUR WORK WILL NOT BE PLAGIARIZED WHETHER ACCEPTED OR NOT. UNREGISTERED SCRIPTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. FIRST YOU SEND ME A REGISTRATION NUMBER THEN THE SCRIPT!!!
- Those who have a production plan, including a cost projection for equipment, sets, and the like will be favored over those with "no idea as to what this will cost to make". If your story is conceived to, or can be, shot digitally, then this will take precedence over film projects, even those that fit the budget range.
- Ultra low-budget indies need not apply, my company requires a certain production value to show onscreen, so for you, this is only good, right? Remember, our range is between 1 and 3 million USD.
- Stories that can be produced with the LARGE MAJORITY of effects being practical effects will be favored over stories requiring a lot of digital effects. THIS PERTAINS TO EFFECTS, NOT THINGS LIKE DIGITAL COLOR GRADING.
- Reading your script does not mean, in any way or form, that your story will be chosen at any point, it only means that we are accepting it for consideration.
- If you have an NDA or any other type of legal release document that you want me to sign before reading a script, send it over to the address below and provide a pre-paid return envelope. Remember, if your script is registered with the WGA or the WCA, anything else you need legally speaking is your responsibility, not mine.
Our idea was to accept scripts only from established agents and sources, but I've seen such a pool of talent here on Reduser that I've convinced my bosses to let me try this avenue.
I can accept Final Draft or Moviemaker files, Word documents or Text files, nothing else. My e-mail is: Rudi@IdeasinBlue.com and this will be my primary form of communication, once I agree to receive anything by regular mail, I will provide you with a mailing address.
Good hunting!
