Looking for Screenwriters for Short Films

I'm currently working on the post production of my first no-budget short film (part II of a three part series, yeah I pulled a Lucas and started in the middle.) For 10,000 marines I wrote (in Celtx), produced, directed and now working on post-production. It was a lot of work and a great learning experience, however now I'm trying to separate out the work so that i can focus in on producing/directing/Post with FXs.

What I found was that I'm pretty good a writing short scenes and short films (<5-minutes) but on the longer stuff I need help because the process takes too long/complex and I have other movie tasks to complete. Therefore I'm looking for a screenwriter / co-writer for my next film(s).

I am currently working on some treatments (story in a few pages + character concepts + what I have to work) for a few film ideas I want to shot over the next few months. http://www.hayphoto.ca/HPFP/Future/

1. Prequel (Tiger Wars) and Sequel (20,000 Marines) to my original short film.
- Each is ~25minutes long for a total of around 75 minutes for all three combined.
- I'm hoping to shot these at the same time in order to ensure I maintain the same pool of lead actors.

2. Super-heroine movie (think a cross between Spirit/Sincity style, with Kick-Ass and Mystery Men)
- Ideally a longer movie, 45-72 minutes.

What I need is someone to write the scripts from those treatments so that I can focus on getting the first movie out the door and start production on the next film; I'm hoping to have minimal interference, just ensuring that I can shoot what they write.

I'm willing to negotiate compensation, however I'll state that I deal in honorariums/fixed numbers rather than residuals (so non-union gig), and I only do no-budget productions so you know the drill (cheap is good, free is better).

General Questions should be asked here in this forum post, offers/negotiations should be via PM and Email.

Thanks,
