how original>>looking for short films to produce

Hi Courtenay. Welcome to indietalk!

I wonder if you might get more responses if you offer a little
info to the writers.

A little about you and your goals with the short films, what
movies you have already produced of if this will be your first,
what budget range are you considering - that kind of thing.

And a little about what you're looking for: do you want a thriller?
A comedy? Are you thinking about a really gorey zombie script?
Something with a messgae? A kids story?

Something in the 10 minute range or 30 to 45 minutes?

We writers spend a lot of time working on our scrips. It's hard
to just e-mail a copy to a producer we know nothing about.
 
RE: Short Scripts

Hi Directorik,

It's so true about what you said. Writers are so underappreciated in this business and
then producers tell you to email our screenplay that we labored over for months or years
and they expect us to accept little or nothing for our script. And what makes it worse in
this economy, some of the production companies are justifying this so they won't have
to pay a cent to the writer. They don't understand that's it's a full-time job like any other
job.
 
I have no problem offering one of my short script to a
producer for no pay. But I'm not going to send any of
my scripts to a yahoo e-mail without knowing something
about the producer.
