I'm currently midway through the first draft of a feature film script which I've been gradually outlining over the last year. It's an idea which really excites me, and I've been able to incorporate quite a few story elements which have convinced me that the story has potential.

The central premise is that we follow a young medical student who accidentally becomes an accessory to the kidnapping of a pharmaceutical CEO. From there, a conspiracy unfolds, and a mix of political intrigue and gnarly injuries ensue. Think "Children of Men" meets "Green Room".

The tricky part is that the story has become very complex. There's quite a few slippery slopes regarding character decisions and logistics that I want to navigate gracefully, and I've spent a long time examining it for every angle while pulling the story in quite a few potential directions. I've began to feel like the story needs a fresh set of eyes to point out any holes in the story which have slipped past me. I have mountains of notes, but I'd also be very open to likeminded writers offering their own personal takes if they were interested in working on the script.

If you think this project might be of interest, I'd love to have a chat and see if we click. I don't have a huge budget, but I'd be happy to discuss payment for the project as well.

Thanks :)

I'm asking this because I don't entirely know how to articulate this feeling in a fashion thats easy enough for an algorithm to understand, but I recently watched the 2001 film Millennium Mambo and was struck by this incredibly free flowing vibe which felt both energetic and melancholy.

I've seen a few films like this before, namely the polish film All These Sleepless Nights, Wong Kar Wai films (especially Chunking Express), and to a certain extent Terrence Malick movies. I figured this might be called "New Age Cinema", but I haven't really seen anyone compile lists of these kind of movies. There's a spiritual feeling, but I'm not looking for films which are about spirituality in a moral or religious sense. Just films that have that slightly transcendental quality where it feels like you're in an altered state.

I know I'm speaking in very abstract terms, but I'd be really curious to see if anyone has recommendations for movies like this.

Thanks guys :)
