Hi all
Just returned from my first feature thriller (still in post) and am itching to do more...
As you all probably know best, getting the second feature off the ground is equally difficult and time consuming as the first, so I'd like to fill my time in between with one or two thriller shorts.
I want to focus on higher concept thriller type stories with a twist in order to build up my profile and do things that will hopefully attract the right kind of producers down the road, i.e. thrillers that hint at a bigger conspiracy/world/danger.
Movies I use for inspiration are things like: Fracture, Hanna, Anna, Limitless, Nikita, the Transporter, the Double, the Net, Paycheck, Atomic Blonde, the Manchurian Candidate, Conspiracy Theory, In Time
Like my previous 20 or so shorts (https://grayeminence.ch), they will be produced/financed by me and are low-budget (10K$), so I can't pay anybody involved.
Requirements for potential scripts:
1. Thriller genre (mostly suspense, conspiracy)
2. Ideally female protagonist
3. Contained (1-2 locations)
4. Small main cast (2-4 people)
5. High conflict, high stakes, high concept, can have action in moderate amounts
6. Short (<12 pages)
7. Low/moderate VFX/SFX
8. Not specific to one country, i.e. a topic that only people in that country get or understand (House of Cards would be a good "bad" example).
If you got any scripts in that direction and are willing to share, let me know.
Cheers
Remo
