I'm hoping to find a home for a short screenplay titled 'Four Walls and a Window'. This is a story about a young woman who suffers a trauma she blames herself for, and she's taking her life and marriage down with it. Her whole world is reduced to one room with one window. Her unlikely savior was fortold just minutes before the tragedy. When someone saves you, you repay in kind.

Written looooow budget with emphasis on characters. Good story for directors and cinemtographers as well. High emotion, physical, some dance experience reqired for the lead. 21 pages.


Anyone interested for a read, let me know.

Had a few nibbles that kinda vanished. So, still avail I guess.

EDIT: Found a real good home for '4 Walls and a Window'!!


I also have 'Gropecunt Lane' avail. This is a suspense/horror-lite story about a family that buys a home good 'ol dad picked without conferring with his wife. She would have done a little more homework and learned the history of the house BEFORE moving in. Now that they are in, only one will be needed to care for what was left behind. The other two are ... dead weight. 24 pages. 95%-ish takes place in one location. Other material 4 to 15 pages avail as well.


If anyone needs a story written, needs some material edited or checked for story, or you have a book you'd like written as a screenplay, let me know.

Some years ago a Red member picked up a short script titled 'Another Man's Dame'. I have lost touch with him, but would like to know if anything ever happened with it. If not, I'd really like to get that one up again and find a home for it. Anyone know of it? Fututistic gumshoe story.

EDIT: 'Gropecunt Lane' found a home and will be expanded into a feature !

I have 20+ short scripts. First time directors, and those moving from documentary, video and commercials to narrative storytelling - maybe I have the right script for you.

Have a peek at some grabs to see how my screenplays translate into film ...

Quote 'Alex, have you put your scripts up on Simplyscripts.net? You will probably get more traction there.'


Not my cup of tea, but thank you. I've had some seriously beautiful films come from the folks here. Hoping to add a few more. One or two a year gives me the fix :)

My join date was actually o8 - I think, but I lost my original password in a javascript meltdown. Since then ('08) I have learned a heck of a lot about film well beyond the boundaries of screenwriting. I'll even go so far as to say that Reduser took me from screenwriter to part filmmaker.

I'm happy with the traction I get here, amd ready to lay down some more tread.

cheers

Looks like '4 Walls and a Window' is back on the market.


This is a story about a young woman who suffers a trauma she blames herself for, and she's taking her life and marriage down with it. Her whole world is reduced to one room with one window. Her unlikely savior was fortold just minutes before the tragedy. When someone saves you, you repay in kind.

I'd be interested to know what you've got in the roughly 4 pages length? As looking to make another short film within the next few months, ideally in the 3 to 7 minute range.
 
Three short scripts up for adoption :)


'SAME TIME TOMORROW' 12-page drama

In a small apartment complex, a woman's frequent male visitor has one nosey neighbour assuming there could be only one thing going on. Is she reading too much into it?

'NO FREE LUNCH' 6-page action/drama

The Mayor of a small town has implemented a new 'clean up the Streets' campaign. For the cleaners, it's a no-questions-asked free reign to get the job done. Just don't get caught.

'GUN BABY' 8-page drama

A bank robber is certain she's come up with the perfect heist. She forgot to factor in that one mistake will the risk the lives of two.


Any interest for a read, Pm me.

Gun Baby found a home :). Still looking for one for Four Walls and a Window.

Good story, loooooooow budget. Happy to forward it for a read.


Also, a reminder for the Zombie Fest over at DVXuser. Lots of time to get something ready. Seriously, I don't usually take part in writing horror and zombies, but going to give it a solid effort. A different take, of course.
