New Open Writing Assignment at Amazon Studios: “It Came in the Mail”
Amazon Studios is looking for one or more writers or writing teams to rewrite It Came in the Mail, a script currently in active development at Amazon Studios. The opportunity will pay up to $33,000.
To be considered, writers are asked to submit a proposal that includes a short overview of how they’d approach the story, a character breakdown, a story treatment in narrative form, and a feature writing sample (details here). Submissions are due by Nov. 26, 2012.
Project details:
It Came In The Mail
By Michael Rabb
Genres: Comedy, Kids and Family
Logline: Twelve-year-old Joel orders an incredible monster through a comic book. It finally shows up … 20 years later.
Why we love it: This is a heartfelt comedy script with great potential.
Some advice from our creative team: As you contemplate how you’d rewrite the script, feel free to add, remove or change characters, settings, names, and scenes; rework these if it serves to better tell your version of the story. Both live-action as well as animated takes will be considered. Please be sure to keep it a family-friendly comedy, G to PG-13 and to hold on to the core premise.
You can find the current draft of It Came in the Mail here.
