Scott Naar's Lounge Discussions

I'm excited to announce that we are currently in pre-production for our next film, and it's very special to me. The short film is titled "An Immigrant Story," and it's an extremely urgent and timely story that follows Daniel, a gay Jamaican immigrant who is at risk of being deported after a physical altercation at his job gets him fired. His only viable option for a green card is through his estranged father, who will only sponsor him if he denounces his sexuality, leaving Dane to make a heartbreaking choice.

This story is inspired by true events that happened to my brother, a homosexual immigrant who was forced to leave the states once his visa expired and with no avenues left had to return to our hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, which is still a violently homophobic city. As a native Jamaican and mixed-race immigrant, I really feel it's important to tell the stories of marginalized people in my country through my medium, film. I have personally experienced the fragility of immigration, and understand the sensibilities required and the nuances necessary to highlight the many issues facing immigrants in this country today. With immigration status so fragile and dependent on circumstances that can change at the drop of a hat, many immigrants find themselves desperate, just as Daniel does in this story.

Another reason that this story is so crucial is that as social norms expand and progress in our country, we often forget that other countries are still plagued with issues such as homophobia. Such is the case in Jamaica, and due to his brother's experience as a gay man in Jamaica who regularly faces threats of violence and needs to keep his sexuality hidden, Scott is passionate about educating others about the issues at hand, and finding ways to collectively work towards a more accepting, loving and safe world overall.

If you wish to contribute in any way to bringing this film to life, I will be extremely grateful. We're primarily raising money to fairly pay our actors, and pay for festival submissions to spread this message far and wide.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

I have a horror script that has received very good reviews on BlckList and I am currently looking to start pre-production. My co-writer is a producer already on the film but we are new to LA and need someone who knows the lay of the land and can collaborate with us with making this film. If interested please message me here or email me at scottnaarfilms@gmail.com

I will direct the crap out of your script. DM me.

Hey all! I am currently looking for producers and investors for a short, proof-of-concept horror film. Comment or message me to learn more if you're interested. We're so close to our goal and could really use some extra help. Thanks!

Guys! We're only $500 away from our fundraising goal! Is there anyone who wants to be a producer on a short, proof-of-concept horror film??

Hey! I'm producing a short horror film this October and we're SO close to reaching our financial goals. I'm feeling a little stuck in our crowdfunding, and I'd really love to partner with someone to help us get the campaign out and secure more donations. I'm willing to compensate for your time (we can discuss details privately!) If anyone is interested, please let me know. The goal is $1500.

I’m looking to connect with artists, writers, voice actors, and most importantly financiers. I’ve worked on many projects and currently have an animation series in the oven that is heading toward pre-production.

I'm here in LA now and I have a script that I want to make, a horror film that I am trying to develop. Let me know if you're interested in meeting up in the LA area. I'm really looking to build a community/Pre-production crew.

Hello all,

I'm moving out to LA at the end of this month and I was wondering if anyone knew of any writers meet ups or writers groups I could possibly join?

Hello All, I'm speaking specifically to people living in LA and the LA area. I am moving to the city in July and I want to start a writing group where people can come in, put their screenplay up on a screen and we can read through each screenplay, give feedback and suggestions and hash out stories. I need members and to join would be free! Please message me (not reply) if you're interested!

My name is Scott Alexander Naar, I am a writer/director currently based in South Florida but moving to Los Angeles in July. My writing partner, Sarah Hartman and I have just finished out 2nd draft of our feature horror film "THEY!", about a young girl who is relentlessly stalked by an all female pagan cult. We are looking for a co-producer for our pre-production phase, to help develop the film.

Im looking for a literary manager

Im moving to LA in July and I want to collaborate with anyone who has a script they want to shoot.

I am moving to LA in the summer and I want to begin networking and building a community of people in the industry around me. I am a writer/director looking to pitch my ideas to anyone who is interested. I specialize in Drama and Horror. Id love to connect with any and all people who would be interested in at the very least, having a discussion with me.
