Zombie Script Wanted.

[Jsthompson79]

I am in need of a short zombie script. The film will be 5-10 minutes long. In box me details of what you have available and asking price.

Would you be able to provide some more information here in this thread?

1) Would this be something entered into film festivals or just released online to a video site like YouTube?

2) Are you interested in directing the film?

3) Examples of other work that you have been involved in that we can see?

4) Any other important pieces of information necessary?

Some more information would be appreciated

1.) It is for film festivals.
2.) I am going to be the director, producer, and videographer of the film.
3.) I am a film student. All of my footage so far can be seen on my Youtube channel
4.) I have permission to adapt a Stephen King Dollar Baby short story, that script is in progress.
5.) What else would you like to know?

[Rodney Petrie]

Thanks for the extra information!

The only other question I would have at this point is are you looking for a dramatic, suspenseful, action-oriented or comedic type of zombie movie?

Dramatic or Suspenseful I am wanting to do several horror shorts over the next year.

Zombie script? All you need is a group of survivors trying to get from point A to point B while getting chased by zombies. And have a romance scene where two strangers say I love you so much and then one of them dies for the other one at the end. Boom there is your zombie script.

Thanks for commenting the script I sent you thompson, even if you can't use it and even if I didn't ask for a comment. Doesn't happen too often. Nice to meet well brought up people on the internet.

You are welcome. I try to always reply to script writers. Never know if we'll need each other in the future.

FWIW, it's going to be pretty much impossible to find something "off the rack" that will fit or can even be closely adapted to your resources, ie equipment, locations, and talent. Budget is blue sky.

GL!

Thanks Ray, I have looked through that thread in the past. I have ideas for scripts I am just not good at writing them and don't really have the time. I understand what you mean though about things not being great off the rack but that can be changed with revisions and rewrites. Currently my script writing program consists of Word on a Mac..... I will probably get Final Draft in a few months and start trying to write some of my own shorts but for now I wanted to have things to film through the winter thus why I am looking for prewritten scripts.

Thanks Ray for the formatting guide I will check it out. And I will check out Celtx. I think we have to use it in an upcoming class. Glad to see someone else endorsing it. All I ever hear is get Final Draft.

[rayw]

Don't pay for FD.
I'm not knocking it, it's a fine product.
It just that no one cares when they receive and review the end product if all the unfilmables, novely descriptions, and typhografficle errerrs were made on a $150 product or a free product.
It just doesn't matter.

[Rodney Petrie]

Celtx is definitely a great program. Once I was told about it, downloaded and started using it I have never looked back.

I have Final Draft, but use CeltX.
