Low Budget Filmmakers NEED Your Plays!

Playwrights, filmmakers are looking for the things you write for the stage. Take a look at some of the latest requests from InkTip, a website for screenwriters:

**

We are looking for completed feature-length ultra-low budget scripts with stories that take place in no more than 2 or 3 locations, with no more than 10 actors, and little or no VFX. Submissions must be for contemporary material, so please feel free to submit a pitch for thriller, sci-fi, drama, or even high-concept horror stories. We are not interested in western, animation or fantasy stories at this point in time. We're looking to shoot within 2 months if we can find the right script.

Budget will not exceed $200K. Only non-WGA writers should submit at this point in time.

For more information on gaining access to this lead, please see www.InkTip.com/pnews.php

We are looking for completed feature-length horror or thriller scripts set in an isolated location that is adaptable to Southern Ireland. We are looking to shoot a feature in a remote house or cottage in the countryside, so the setting must make use of an isolated location such as in the case of “Night of the Living Dead,” “Straw Dogs” or “Children of the Corn.” However, we are looking for psychological creepy scares and not gore horror - i.e. stories in the vein of “The Orphanage,” “The Others,” “Funny Games,” “The Wicker Man” or “Wait Until Dark.”

Budget will not exceed $200,000. WG and Non-WG writers may submit.

Most first-time filmmakers or independents, want simple stories that happen ideally in one location with no special effects. Each time filmmakers have to take down one lighting setup and then go to another location to do the same thing all over again makes the film that more expensive. YOU have stories that usually take place in one location with very few if any set changes. Instead of waiting around for theatres to choose your play, why not get pro-active and start submitting them to filmmakers looking for stories that emphasize single locations and character development over explosions and special effects.

InkTip offers a free service for short scripts here and a weekly notice of at least someone looking to produce a low budget (and sometimes big budget) movie. If you want more than one lead a week, it will cost you. To find out more about InkTip, please click the post's title.
