Call for a 10 pager

W

Hey all,
I'm deep into my own writing, but the thing in my head wont be done in time for the spring shooting season. Anyone have something that is compatible with my tastes about 10 pages that they want to see made by yours truly?

I have a 6 or 7 pager that's deep and meaningful. No on screen dialogue. But, very heavy narration if you'd like to see it. Easily shot. But, you do need an area that will look like slums of NYC.

Ilia's got some work cut out for her, eh?


Yeah, a brief list of some resources would be quite useful.
(Psst! Maybe pose a contest using A, B , C & D as criteria?! "You write it, I pick & film it!" Pick an upcoming holiday theme?)

Thanks all,

yeah, let me get some "handles" on this for you all..

( a wish list coming soon)


budget? Ill try for $0, but plan for $1000. My biggest project yet! lol


RESOURCES:
Im pretty resource rich, I'm all geared up for low budget filmmaking.
Cameras, sound, lights, DIY dolly, 8KW generator, etc.

Actors: I have been pretty active in keeping in the loop with the local scene, I have a few goto folks that I can lean on. I do plan on PAYING them so, it wont be a problem.

Locations:
Plenty of quirky rural places:
"abandoned" farm house
1800's museum quality restored one room school house
1800's museum quality restored one room church
Logging roads
deep Dark forests
Old barns, etc.
small creek
small river

neat remote biker bar\restaurant and grocery store
...

My personal network is pretty good.

wish list: This is just my riffing dont take it too seriously..

An ideal script will be properly formatted


It will have:
a "hotrod" )
a setting in a rural \ small town
indoor and out door locations
an old codger character
an attractive female character


it will NOT have
F*bombs
visible drug\alcohol use
nudity
gore
directorial comments (no "we see" and "pan to")


Beyond that, Im NOT demanding it to be family friendly. By that I mean it doesn't have to entertain kids, so long as it does not SHOCK them if they watch it, I'm cool. Most of that kinda stuff will be "directorial" so I can shoot sensitive adult subject matter in a way that suits me.

If your custom writing for this, then lets start with a log line, so I dont waste too much of your time..
