Hey, so i've never made a film before, or written a script, ive never been into writing, and im the only one working on this project that can/wants to write, so yeah, its a pain in the ass aha.
Anyway, heres my idea, im not aiming for total uniqness, high budget or too much depth, just a kick ass cliche film.
So the film is set in the near future, where a new system, kind of like a rent-a-cop kind of thing has formed, these rent-a-cop teams usually work in groups, or some work alone, my story follows one group of 3 in particular.
The rent-a-cop system works similar to say, hit-men. You rent out these cop teams to find stolen goods, someone that has performed any kind of crime against you, they dont often do anything considered illegal, they'll either get them imprissoned, if if they're paid enough, will extort the stolen amount of money or items back to whoever hired the rent-a-cops.
The main protagonists are hired by one man who doesnt reveal his identity right away, but wants them to solve a case to do with a mass murderer who has an entire room full of photos of his victims, the rent-a-cop team dont know what this has to do with their employer, but they're offered a 7 figure sum to figure this out, to which they obviously accept.
thats the basic outline, feedback would be nice! if anyone would like me to post more of the story ill gladly do it!

I understand your question. Most indie productions are the realization of someone's personal idea. What it seems that you want is to know if the idea is marketable and would be of interest to an audience. If you can convince someone to provide capital to help produce your idea, then it is marketable. If people actually sit through the film and/or would pay to watch it, then it is of interest to them. The two ideas are related to each other but not always co-occurring. Similarly, script quality and cost are related but not necessarily co-occurring. Actually, there are scriptwriters who will write it for credits or on contingency (if the film makes a profit, they get paid). Since it's your idea, you are probably the best person to write the script. After it's done, then it is easier to give you feedback on how to revise the script. If you don't think it's worth writing then don't. But if it enthuses you, then write it. Then share it so others can help you polish it.
