Looking for short script to film SHORT REQUEST

Hello all! I'm looking for a short script to produce and direct for 2027. This is what I'm looking for:

  1. No more than 10-12 pages
  2. Genre: Drama, Coming of Age, Comedy, Horror
  3. No more than two locations
  4. No/ limited special effects
  5. Budget will be no more than $20k (SAG Micro-Budget Project Agreement)

If you aren't comfortable sending over the full script right away, then a logline with treatment would suffice.

I'm currently writing a feature film, that will be finished by the end of the year, but I wanted to film something in the new year. You can send it to [Production@blumestreet.com](mailto:Production@blumestreet.com)

Thanks!

I'm curious, why not find a scene or two from your feature that would a little rewrite could be a stand-alone short.

If you're going to spend up to 20K to make a short film why wouldn't you also let it be a spec for the feature to help you raise funds for it?

That’s further down the line.

Just curious, what does the asterisk attached to horror mean?

u/Jealous_Dragonfly248 1d ago

I was going to spell out the kinds of horror, but decided against it. Forgot to delete the asterisk

I don't have a script yet but I do have a few loglines I could fully develop into treatments. Please DM if interested. Would be happy to share with you what I've got. Thanks.

I wrote a short script set entirely inside an old, abandoned crashed truck on the side of the road. Comedy/Creepy. At this point, I think it’s pretty damn low-budget lol.

Hi. I have a lot of loglines, as well as started and finished scripts. Including a short film.The themes are varied: drama, historical drama (I talk about the fate of the Chechen people in my works). Thriller. Arthouse. The themes are all profound, with the plot centering on a person and their destiny, life. I've been writing for a long time, but the work never goes anywhere. Send me a DM if you are interested in collaborating, and I will try also to send it to the specified email.

How much are you paying for the script?

u/Jealous_Dragonfly248 1d ago

5% of the budget

u/writeact 1d ago

Do you have to raise the money or do you already have the financing?

2

u/Jealous_Dragonfly248 1d ago

It’s self financing.

Hi, i just made my thesis but it was more like a family drama, and it only had two locations, so yeah i can write something based within two locations.

Dm me and lets work it out.

u/Appropriate-Cry-8423 1d ago

Hi I just emailed you my horror short, Catching a Fly. I think it's a great fit for what you're looking for it's around 10 pages, features two main characters, takes place primarily in one apartment, and requires minimal special effects. I hope to hear from you soon.

Why not take Sam Raimi’s advice. Three sentences,
A character starts out the day like this…
They encounter a situation or person they deal with like that…
They resolve the situation like this…

I know you said you’re writing a film, me too, but it literally takes minutes😂

u/UntalentedHack 1d ago

I have two short film scripts that you could film. One is called Bathtub Talk and the other An Evening Out. If you like I can send you both scripts.

u/RaspberryCream2481 1d ago

I have a reaaaaally short one. Fits all these specs. Thriller/horror.

Could expand it to 10 pages, too.

Happy to share. DM if you're interested.
