ISO - really, REALLY good short scripts (and few features)

Hey all - As a regular member of Simplyscripts, I'm in the process of launching a new Blog, dedicated to showcasing noteworthy shorts (and the occasional feature length). There's no rush on this - I'm expecting it to go live in about a month. BUT - one thing that we're looking to do is only feature...

Hey all - touching base to let everyone know that the Blog's moving along quite nicely - we've even had one of our writer's contacted by two separate directors about her short scripts, which were showcased. Always looking for more to review, for anyone who's interested... Cheers, -J

What genre? How many pages to you consider short?

Gary A. Jonezy

I am a huge fan of thrillers, and dramedies. Page count is anywhere from 7-15 pgs roughly. More interested in a great story than anything else.

Margaret Avnet

Hi Gary: Would you be interested in reading a script about a Northern Irish couple one Catholic the other Protestant? Message me and I can send the script over to you if you are interested.

Thanks Simon! I see you're in Portland. My brother lives up there and he tells me there is a lot of production happening. Keep me posted on any of your future projects!

Simon King

In pre-production on a short now (thriller) that will shoot in August. Originally planned as a web series but decided a short makes more sense for the festival circuit. I will keep you informed!

I have a list of stuff I could write and shoot. I am trying to find some great scripts as well. My friend is a commercial DP with all his own gear and we are looking to partner with people in order to develop a body of really amazing work (I know, everyone does).

Kimite Cancino

Hi Norm. Is there a 68hour film contest? I thought it was only 48hours. Kinda gives u longer time to finish the rendering and editing, I guess. U have an awesome career. I hope u find great ppl to work with u on future projects. Ill keep my eyes peeled for ur work. :)

Norm Swain

Gary, One of the first things I would like to do is find a funding source that would finance the projects (no self funding). Even if the funding i in the $100k to $500k range. Have you had any possibilities in the San Diego area yet? If so lets discuss?

Timothy Peake Gilbert

Gary, Email me your contact details to tgilbert@pepprofilms.com

Gary A. Jonezy

Hey Norm, I haven't had any real funding avenues. Most of my stuff is low budget. Looking to make that next leap.

Hey Gary...As I mentioned in my last post, listing this in the FIND WORK section will help you monitor and streamline all the responses. It's also where people on the site go to look for gigs. Best of luck with everything.

We might be pushing shoot dates to end of April. If you're up for it. I'll keep you posted.

Log Line Critique Please

A young female student is raped and beaten by a campus policeman and later gives birth to a baby girl who grows into a cop, dead set on revenge against her Mother’s rapist, who is also her Father.

Neil Jeffery

Just sticking my oar in here, but with the storyline, is 'Honor Thy Mother' a little obvious as a title? I mean, is there a chance it gives a little too much away? Maybe 'The Fifth Commandment' may be a little more cryptic

I-Esha Henderson

Kind of sounds like the character from law and order SVU.

James David Sullivan

"Father" and "Mother" should not be capitalized in the context you are using them.

Douglas Eugene Mayfield

A good start. It seems to me to be a bit weighted in favor of what would be the early portion of the script. I'd like you to indicate at least one major problem which your protagonist will encounter later in the story when she is seeking revenge. Good luck.

Alisa Vernon

Consider who your protagonist is: the mother or the daughter, or both.
