I am looking to produce and direct a well written dramatic short film that takes place in a diner. This short must be a fully developed character study with strong story, engaging characters and interesting dialogue. THINK SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL. It should run about 20 minutes in length. I am only interested in DRAMA (it can be a DRAMEDY as long as it is more drama than comedy). I am not interested in comedy, horror/slasher or action. This is to be a show piece for festivals. It will also be used to secure funding for other projects. The story, characters and dialogue MUST be well developed, INTERESTING and engaging. I cannot emphasize this enough. I am only looking for serious and talented screenwriters with high quality material. Please do not send me anything that has not been properly developed. I am not looking for rough drafts or even second drafts. I do not have the time or money to waste on material that is not as described. Please only submit if you have something I am really looking for. Thank you and good luck to all on your writing careers.
