Hey everyone. I have a script about a small town punk band who is trying to get a van. (Everything will change if they get it) It was heavily inspired by the righteous gemstones, so it's crude and silly. We follow the band through making merch and getting through their first few shows to build up enough money to get the van and go on tour. Things obviously aren't as easy as they think.

85 pages

There are 6 main characters, but around 22 in total. Mostly one off characters

Locations include 3 house show, one bar show, 1 church, 1 park, 1 garage, and 1 driving scene.

I have actually been working to make this film myself but the scheduling has been a nightmare. It would be nice if I could pay the actors to take time off from work.

Looking for about 10k

I’m producing a unique found-footage horror project set during Halloween, with a concept that gives the format a fresh, highly commercial twist. The director has a strong horror pedigree, with multiple projects on Shudder and Screambox, and a theatrical release featuring real gators coming this fall. It’s a ULB production, and we already have interest from two well-known character actors.

Please DM for more details, interest, etc.

Logline: When attendees of a remote screenwriting workshop start getting murdered the same way characters die in famous twist-ending movies (including Psycho and Hide and Seek), they must use their twist-ending film knowledge to suss out the identity of the killer--before they breathe their last.

Specs: 100 pages, with a total cast of 13 characters.

Why it's makeable: It all takes place at an isolated ranch (in Texas), so it could be made for scale. And it has a compelling mystery and a satisfying ending.

DM me if you're interested in producing and would like to read it. Thanks.

-Genre: Drama/Thriller⁠

Title: LITTLE GRAVES
Genre: Psychological Mystery / Thriller / Drama
Format: 1-hour drama • 8-episode seasons/ can be converted into a film.

Logline/Pitch: Ten years after a buried event fractured five teenage girls, the death of their former friend Lillian Graves forces them to confront the past. When the mysterious Iris Black enters their adult lives knowing far more about 2016 than she should, their marriages, careers, families and secrets become targets in an escalating psychological campaign.

Setting: Graves Point, California — a fictional affluent Northern California coastal enclave of fog, cliffs, quiet luxury and generational wealth.

Timeline: 2016 / 2026
Tone: Psychological • Coastal Gothic • Female-led • Morally ambiguous • Mystery-driven
Aesthetic: Quiet luxury, cold Pacific coastlines, warm interiors, fogged glass, surveillance imagery, reflections/doubles, tailored fashion.
Core ensemble: Five women approaching 30 + Iris Black, the mysterious woman infiltrating their lives.

This series pull’s inspiration from various addictive female-led series & books I grew up on, with my own preferences in design language, tone, aesthetics, & interest’s mixed in.

Season 1 mystery: What happened in 2016? What happened to Lillian now? And who exactly is Iris Black?
Currently developing the pilot and series bible.

I’d love feedback on the concept
would you watch this?

Logline: Two rival actors and a mysterious scene partner arrive at a Hollywood soundstage to compete for a career-making role and are put through an escalating gauntlet of "auditions" designed to test not their talent, but how much of themselves they're willing to surrender. Only one of them leaves with the part.

Specs: 3M / 1F (one male role is voice-only, the Director is never seen). One soundstage location, plus a single dawn exterior for the final minutes. 73 pages, but it's durational horror, it plays longer than it reads.

The hook: The entire film is one continuous take from the audition camera itself. Locked on a tripod, it can only pan and zoom and it is never allowed to turn toward the people running the room. Every terrible thing happens at the edge of frame or just past it: the horror is carried by sound, negative space, and the faces of whoever's left behind listening. The fixed frame becomes the audience's only source of safety so when the camera finally comes off the tripod in the third act, it doesn't feel like freedom. It feels like a violation. There's also a recurring audition scene the actors are forced to repeat, unchanged, four times across the night, while everything around it and inside them deteriorates.

Where it came from / what it's like: The seed was Katt Williams talking about "humiliation rituals" in an interview with Shannon Sharpe; the idea that superstardom has a price paid in degradation. Tonally it sits with Starry Eyes, The Neon Demon, Perfect Blue, and Pearl, with a liminal-space, Backrooms-adjacent creepiness to the overlit soundstage. It's a little Lynch, a little Cronenberg, but built on dread and implication rather than gore.

Why it's makeable: One room, four actors, no VFX, no effects makeup on camera. The 'one continuous take' concept is easily acheiveable stringing together scenes in post. The formal constraint isn't a limitation to work around ; it IS the aesthetic. If you've ever wanted to make a genuine mindfuck of a movie on a budget, this was written to be that. If you're looking for your Milk & Serial or Backrooms to establish yourself as a filmmaker, you're not going to find a better script to show those skills.

Just completed a new draft of the screenplay & ready to share DM me if you'd like to read it.

Thanks for looking!

We are currently in pre-production on a horror-thriller feature and looking for both an investor and a producer to help bring this to life. The script is finished, the vision is clear, and we are actively building the team.

Title: Display Models

Genre: Horror / Thriller

Comps: Don't Breathe, M3GAN, Ready or Not

Logline: To save his struggling family, a desperate thief leads a heist on a massive, unopened shopping mall, only to find his crew trapped inside and hunted by a deranged janitor who uses an army of deadly, robotic mannequins to slaughter intruders and turn them into permanent window displays. 

Where we are: Script is camera-ready (3rd draft). Financial plan is built. We are targeting a $50K proof-of-concept budget to shoot a short that gets this in front of distributors and festival programmers — with the full feature to follow.

What we're looking for:

— An investor willing to come in at the ground floor of a practical effects horror film with real commercial upside

— An experienced producer (or associate producer) who believes in the project and wants to help shape it from pre-production forward

This is a contained, single-location film — one mall, night shoots, practical effects. Low overhead, high concept.

If you'd like to read the script, see the financial plan, or just have a conversation about the project, reach out. We are serious about getting this made the right way.

I have a short story available thats only 5 pages and low budget for upcoming directors willing to produce it it’s a thriller/horror script.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q_NEWsPY9_LTQUh34-m_v3aH2kNJFZgw/view?usp=drivesdk

Logline: When attendees of a remote screenwriting workshop start getting murdered the same way characters die in famous twist-ending movies (including Psycho and Hide and Seek), they must use their twist-ending film knowledge to suss out the identity of the killer--before they breathe their last.

Background: What if M. Night Shyamalan held a remote screenwriting retreat about how to write twist-ending movies and then attendees began dying like the deaths in famous twist-ending movies? That question was the genesis of Twist Ending. I researched and watched over 300 twist-ending movies in preparation for writing this feature murder mystery script.

Why I'm Posting It Here: I have no film experience and am seeking a producer. The story all takes place at a Texas ranch and only contains 13 characters, so the budget could be kept very low. And the film references and concept will attract twist-ending movie fans and ensure a healthy return on investment.

Script Length: 100 pages, reads very quickly.

But hope is on the horizon.  Looking to hitchhike her way from Oklahoma to California, Ally is picked up by the mysterious and kind Skylar. 

Skylar buys her food, offers safe passage to Arizona, and defends her from a callous gas station cashier. She even pays for a motel room so they can rest for the night. 

But Skylar’s got a secret. And Yancy, the tied up man in the trunk wants out. 

A suspicious Ally discovers Yancy and sets the man free, even fleeing with him as she is now under the impression that Skylar is a dangerous woman. 

Yancy finds a temporary shelter for them at his friend’s house, assuring Ally his friend is a detective and can help them stay safe until Skylar is apprehended. 

But that’s when things get strange. Where is the homeowner? Yancy’s story isn’t adding up. And the Sheriff is onto them. Hot on their tail. Sheriff Jenkins and Deputy Waller follow the breadcrumbs leading to the ranch house.

And so is Skylar. Determined to save Ally and re-capture her target, she tracks them down, leading to a third act filled with twists and turns as the truth is uncovered. 

Price: negotiable

GENRE: Contained Psychological Thriller / Revenge Thriller

LOGLINE: A legendary producer summons an actress to his hotel suite for an impromptu meeting. Against her better judgment, she goes. By dawn, only one of them walks away.

NUMBER OF PAGES: 82

ACTORS: One female lead (Maren, 26), one male lead (Devlin, 50s), one male supporting (The Fixer, 40s), two female supporting in a single sequence (Tess, 27 / Izzy, 25), one female in a brief scene plus V.O. (Ronnie, 20s). One additional V.O. role and three or four non-speaking bit parts.

SETTING: A single hotel suite carries roughly 80% of the film; living area, bedroom, bathroom, balcony, entry hall. Remaining locations: a private members' club (bar, booth, hallway, restroom), a hotel lobby/elevator/corridor, one apartment bedroom, a taxi interior, and a stretch of empty sidewalk at dawn.

ESTIMATED BUDGET: Low budget. Effectively a two-hander in one suite, no VFX, no stunts beyond practical fight choreography, minimal night exteriors. There are some practical FX stuff in the script: A facial cut that would greatly benefit from a make-up artist who knows their craft well.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Did you ever want to make an unforgetable claustrophobic thriller? Something along the lines of Hard Candy with a hint of Promising Young Woman that could be filmed with a modest budget? This may be the screenplay you've been looking for.

DM me an email if you're interested in taking a look.

Until the storm becomes a full blown blizzard.

First, the phones shut off. The power goes next, leaving them with only emergency lighting. Then they hear the screams.

Upstairs, Don and his crew loom over Leland Bass. Leland, a Calderon employee who wronged Don, sits tied to a chair, bloody from torture. Rhonda goes upstairs to check in on the situation and is brutally murdered. And Michelle and Joan hear the whole thing over a spare walkie-talkie.

Michelle and Joan consider their options. They could make a run for it, but with the snowstorm... They decide their best chance to survive the night is inside the building. With them.

Armed with only a stun gun and intimate knowledge of the cubicle-filled floor, Michelle and Joan battle it out with Don's crew until the police can arrive... Or they're all dead.

Hey everyone,
I’m an 18-year-old screenwriter based in India writing horror/thriller features. Over the past few months, I’ve started getting some early external validation on my latest horror/crime script:
Los Angeles Crime & Horror Film Festival (LACHFF): Semi-Finalist
The Black List: Overall rating of 7 (with an 8 on Premise and strong notes on character/dialogue)
I know a 7 on the Black List isn't an automatic 8+ email blast, and contest placements alone don't magically get you signed, but as an 18-year-old writing in English from outside the US, I’m trying to figure out what my next strategic steps should be.
My Main Questions:
1. Querying with these stats: Is a Black List 7 + LACHFF Semi-Finalist placement strong enough social proof to include in cold email queries to literary managers, or should I hold off until I get an 8 / higher contest placement?
2. Targeting Managers vs. Producers: Given that I’m based in India and don't have a US visa yet, should I focus my queries primarily on boutique managers who rep international/genre talent, or reach out directly to independent genre producers/production companies?
3. Portfolio depth: I have this polished feature and two finished drafts in the same genre (horror/thriller). If a manager asks "what else do you have?", is having 2–3 completed specs in the same lane standard before launching a query campaign?
4. Any specific managers/agencies known for international genre writers? If anyone has recommendations for management companies that frequently work with foreign/international voices, I’d really appreciate some pointers.
Any advice from repped writers, managers, or international creators who broke in from abroad would mean the world.
Thanks in advance for the help!

If you’re a director or producer looking for a fun and original take on the traditional slasher, this might be the project for you.

My co-writer and I have optioned a handful of scripts through this sub and are looking to collaborate with the right filmmaking team.

If you’d like to read the script, please send me a DM or leave a comment. Thank you!
