Producer/Filmmaker Seeking Screenplays

What are you offering the writer?
What have you produced in the past?

Hello

Well being a screenwriter myself, I know what I want and that is a producer to want to produce my script into a film. The writer wants their script to be produced into a film, so that is the opportunity that I'm presenting. I am going to read the scripts that are sent to me and consider whether it is a pass or a consideration for a project that I want to produce. If I consider the script then I will be interested in purchasing the script and contact the writer to talk about the option price.

For this year, I have produced a film, "The Revenge of the Aspie" for the Washington, DC Film Race 2010 and the film came in Second place for an Audience Award.

Here is the link to watch it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_5tXd1SjQg

You can check me out on IMDB.com

Looking forward to reading those scripts, so send me those inquiry letters! Thanks!

Thank you, Mr. Parkinson.

I understand how the process works. I was curious about what you
are offering to a writer. You have produced one short film and you
have cast a wide net when it comes to scripts.

You don’t mention if you can produce a $100,000,000 science
fiction epic or if you are looking more along the lines of a
$500,000 project. Or even if you are looking for something that
can be produced for $10,000.

You say “possible” pay. I don’t always know what that means to a
producer. Does it mean if you raise the money you may pay the
writer? Or you may not? Does it mean a back end deal is possible,
but not necessarily something you will do?

I am always ready to send my query to an up and coming producer,
but I like to know what I am getting into. I value my work as a
writer - not in the sense I suspect you will steal it, but in the
sense that I don’t want what I write to be in the hands of every
producer who simply wants to read something. I like to know a little
about the producer.

Respectfully, I think if you were more upfront with your request
and saw it from a writers point of view you may get more
responses. Have you gotten a lot of query letters using this
method?
