Hi! I wrote a very short emotional microfilm script (less than 1 minute long) called The Rejection.

It’s a simple cinematic scene about a young man returning home after being rejected by someone he loved.

I don’t have access to professional equipment, actors, or a crew, so I’m looking for people online who might be interested in collaborating for fun, practice, portfolio work, or experience.

There’s no payment involved since this is a no-budget project, but everyone involved would receive full credits.

The short is very minimal:

• One actor
• One location
• Dialogue-free
• Emotional/cinematic atmosphere
• Less than 1 minute

If anyone is interested, feel free to DM me!

Hi everyone,

I’m a screenwriter looking to collaborate with indie filmmakers/directors on a short film project.

I have a completed 10-page short script titled Forever, Interrupted. It's a time loop mystery with emotional/dramatic elements.

Genre: Mystery / Psychological Drama
Length: 10 pages
Budget Level: Low–Medium
Locations: Limited
Cast: Small

Logline:
A mysterious young woman begins reliving the day she meets her new neighbour, only to realise that every time they fall in love, reality resets and pulls them toward the same tragic ending.

I’d be happy to share the script PDF with interested directors/producers.

Hi there! I’m sure some of you are already familiar with this project, but we just got an awesome update so I figured I’d post again.

We just got Virginia Madsen (Michael RIP 🙏 Madsen’s sister) attached for a role in our film, and her attachment brings many benefits, including a good chance at getting into Sundance film festival (she was previously on the jury of Sundance) pending the quality of our film.

Along with Madsen, we also have Jasper Polish (an amazing actress from the show Animal Kingdom and several other films) and the beloved Charles Baker aka “Skinny Pete” attached. With majority of the funding secured, we are almost ready to go into production. We are just looking to secure another 50k, for a total budget of 140k. I’ll post some other details below.

Title: Soulbound

Genre: psychological horror

Pages: 68

Logline: To claim a $500,000 inheritance, a young
woman must survive a night beside her occult-obsessed grandmother’s grave—only
to emerge with more than what she bargained for.

Drawing inspiration from films like Hereditary, St. Maud and The Vigil, we have a script that utilizes psychological fears with a constant sense of dread.

With only 3 locations (2 houses and a cemetery) and a 7-day shoot, we are in a great position to produced a high quality feature film with a solid cast.

If you have any questions or would like to infer about our financing plan, feel free to reach out. Please understand this we are not looking for crew at this time. Thanks for your understanding.

(I had this idea and typed it in like 10 minutes so bear with me) A comedy movie about 2 guys who were both invited to a place with a promise that they could find their dad, however they had to live in a small condo together and the first one to lose interest would lose the opportunity to see his dad again. They both are extremely stubborn, the contest gos on for weeks, when suddenly they are offered a cash ammount to leave the building, both Decide that "its been 30 years fuck it" and they both leave at the same time, becoming best friends, only to find out later that the people who set this up were both of their dad's. Which they learned after watching them for days in the room that the sons actually did not give a fuck about finding their dad, they just wanted an escape from their wife, and a nice condo with complete freedom did not sound so bad. ( which they were lied to about and had to share the same room) with extreme creativity, the right actors, and hilarious roleplay this could be a killer comedy movie. Ps. This idea was inspired by a thought that what if there was an entire movie that was just about a staring contest

I’m an korean Australia-based filmmaker/director developing AI-assisted indie short films.

Currently looking for strong short film scripts or writers interested in collaboration.

Open to various genres except heavy action.
Interested in cinematic stories with strong visual or emotional potential that work well in short film format (around 5–15 mins).

At the moment this is a collaboration/credit-based project (no upfront budget), but I’m serious about actually producing and completing the films.

If you have a short script you’d genuinely like to see brought to life, feel free to DM me.

==> I’m honestly very excited — I’ve received a lot of script submissions within just a day of posting, including from some very experienced writers and industry professionals. It’s a lot more detailed and promising than I initially expected, so I’d like to take the time to properly review everything carefully.

Thank you for your patience, and I’ll get back to you once I’ve had the chance to thoughtfully go through the submissions.

​Hey everyone,

​I am looking for a dedicated, structure-focused Co-Writer to help polish, format, and finish the pitch package and scripts for an original adult animated dark comedy series titled Core & Gore.

​The Vibe: Working-class gothic / dark comedy animation. Think grit, heavy stakes, and sharp, grounded humor.

​What I Have Mapped Out:

​Detailed world-building and lore.

​Fully fleshed-out core characters and their arcs.

​A complete master outline for the narrative/season trajectory.

​Existing script pages and rough scene drafts that need professional assembly, proper screenplay formatting, and dialogue tightening.

​The Leverage & Track Record:

This is not a blind shot in the dark. I have previously established a direct line of communication and signed a submission agreement for this specific project with industry veterans Fred Seibert (FredFilms/Frederator) and Flip Sarta. We are preparing the script and pitch materials to go back into that exact loop.

​What I Need From You:

I need a mechanic who loves story structure. You should be highly skilled in standard screenwriting format (Final Draft/Celtx/WriterDuet), dialogue pacing, and trimming the fat out of a scene. You will be helping me translate the blueprints in my head into production-ready pages.

​Compensation & Protection:

​This is a spec/collaboration project (no upfront pay).

​You will receive a formal, written "Co-Written by" / "Story by" credit on the materials you help build.

​We will use a standard, straightforward Collaboration/IP Agreement before any proprietary notes are exchanged to protect your writing credits and my original IP.

​If the project is optioned or purchased through our production loop, standard industry deferred payment/writing fees will be fully activated.

​If you love dark comedy, high-concept animation, and want a realistic shot at getting a script in front of major industry gatekeepers, drop me a message with a quick note about your writing background or a short sample of your script work. I'll pass along a contact email from there.

​Thanks for your time. Let's build something heavy.

I always thought Jingle All the Way would make a great horror film, so i wrote a screenplay inspired by the Christmas classic and took it in a very different direction which ended up feeling like the trojan horse scary movies that Jordan Peele has been making. There's a moral to this story for people paying attention.

Written to be fimed at a low budget. I've connected with three filmmakers in this sub so far which have led to some really good collaborations. Would love to see the right filmmaker bring this story to life.

Title: Jordan Peele's Jingle All the Way aka When You're Sleeping

Logline: Five years after a desperate Christmas Eve quest for a toy spirals into a violent neighborhood tragedy, a suburban father must survive the vengeful wrath that forces him to confront the night that ruined both their families.

Genre: Thriller w/ Horror elements

Page Count: 83

Price: Money isn't as important to me as finding the right collaborator. A good final product is more important to me than an arbitrary dollar amount. I'm not against money, but at the end of the day being proud of the finished work if far more important.

DM me if you're interested in reading.

Title: Picture Perfect Penis

Genre: Comedy/Mockumentary

Page Count: 5

Logline: A hyper-ambitious tech bro launches a controversial AI startup that promises to use massive data aggregation and 57 different criteria to identify, objectively and without judgment, the "perfect penis"

DM me if you're interested in reading.

The title: "GRIEF"

Genre: Sci-Fi

Logline: "In the future, a nostalgic man who pays a time travel agency to have his grandfather whisked away from the past into the future to spend time together, has to escape the time travel agents after he is being accused of being an accomplice in his grandfather's plan to mess with the timeline"

The story can easily be made/expanded into a feature, too.

The short is written from the grandfather's point of view.

DM if interested. Thanks !

Throwing this as well out there : If anyone in Eastern Germany needs an extra hand during a short film shoot -even for small or menial tasks, I would genuinely love to help out. I work in a completely different field, so I have never had real on-set experience, but I am very interested in learning how films are actually made and seeing how scripts come alive : how they are interpreted and moved from page to screen. Thanks !

Here are some things I learned when I sent my first feature screenplay to some "experts" for feedback. I learned a valuable lesson, and stopped doing it. Later I learned how to get valuable, real world, feedback for free, and I'll share how below.

 What I learned is that people who charge money to read scripts, feel an obligation to give ideas to "improve" the script. They want to justify their fee. The next thing I learned is that any changes they suggest will make the story different. Then I realized that different does not necessarily mean better! Next I realized that the people I paid had less imagination than me.

So I quit hiring such people and started making short films. I put many on youtube of course, and even sold some to broadcast TV. That was around 2002 and 2003, before there were streaming channels as there are now. I got a few hundred bucks for each film, sold to a short film TV channel.

After a while, I had hundreds of videos on youtube. And here's the exciting part, which will pertain to your scripts too. First I learned that with youtube analytics you can get something called audience retention. How long people watch before they lose interest, and WHEN they lose interest. You can also find out when they lingered on a few words of dialogue, or rewatched part of the video. You can also find out how your video compares to other similar videos. Like have you got a hit, or an average video? Or a sub average video?

This is more valuable than some book learning comments by a so called expert. And it's free!

Next, I tried something which will pertain to you, and your script or scripts.

I hired an actress to do a cold read of one of my comedies. She read for all the characters, and narration about the locations too. And she didn't just read in a monotone, she acted out the different roles as best she could, including the male characters. The result was very entertaining! And from youtube audience retention data I could see which parts people liked the most, and the least.

So here's some ideas on what you can do, and it's all free. First, open a youtube channel if you haven't already. It's completely free and easy. Next put up a short video... almost anything...... use your phone and record your cat or dog or traffic on a street, or anything. Upload it to youtube and wait 24 to 48 hours. Then find youtube analytics and audience retention. If you haven't done this before, it is very interesting. Some parts which you thought were the best parts might get the worst response for instance.

OK, that was just to introduce you to having a youtube channel and analytics if you don't already know.

The next step is to read all or part of your script on camera, or hire an actor, and upload it. Use a tripod and decent lighting and of course get good audio. Then wait 24 plus hours and you will be amazed at what you will learn from youtube analytics. You'll learn the strong and weak parts of your script, better than you can learn from a paid reader.

What you might want to do instead is pick two or 3 scenes and blend them into a short film script, so there is a beginning, middle and an end.

However, you'll get the best feedback if you put up the full story. If you are afraid of having your story stolen, think of this: The average person, especially the average youtube person, is not a filmmaker with big money, who can make a real movie. Your story or concept is not likely to get stolen. Reality is your story or concept may already be in the works with a filmmaker or production company. And you can take the video down after you learn what you need to learn.

Or you can send it to professional readers and follow their suggestions until you can't recognize the original story anymore.

If you like this, please share it. Does it make sense to you?

Logline:

After a breakout track puts him on the radar of a mysterious record label, a young rapper’s rise to fame spirals into a waking nightmare as hallucinations, paranoia, and unseen forces push him toward a deal that demands far more than talent. 

Synopsis:

When a rising rapper and his crew are pulled into the orbit of a powerful, enigmatic record label, their sudden climb to fame begins to fracture reality itself. As their music gains traction, Enzo is plagued by disturbing visions, paranoia, and a growing sense that something is shaping his success from the shadows. 

What appears to be the breakthrough he’s always dreamed of soon reveals a darker truth: the label offers more than opportunity, it demands obedience, sacrifice, and absolute control. As Enzo’s world unravels and the line between ambition and manipulation disappears, he is forced to confront an impossible choice: gain everything he’s ever wanted, or keep his soul. 

Amount of characters:

1-3 main characters with 5+ supporting characters.

Locations:

Multiple, such as school, recording studio, movies, apartments, strip club.

Realistic budget:

Should be around a million or more due to some vfx but could be reduced to less if practical effects are used.

Feature length, 93 pages.

I have the full script and character pitch deck available.
