Scriptwriters

[Unicorn]

BTW, I'm desperately looking for a good script for a short movie to shoot in a couple of months: five to twenty minutes long, budget about a thousand pounds, shot on DV (or possibly 16mm if it's short) in or around London. I could write another one myself, but I really don't have the time or any great ideas at this moment; I will if I have to.

If you think you might have something -- ideally funny, intelligent and SF or psychological horror -- email me with a one-paragraph synopsis. I have the budget and most of the crew, I just need the important part: the script.

Hi, I've just seen your message. Don't get excited and in any case it may be too late, considering that you posted it nearly two weeks ago.

I'm actually a professional photographer who uses the video camera for a hobby. My other hobby is writing. I don't have a script, but, seeing as no-one else has actually replied to you then it would seem you have nothing to lose.

I've been toying with the idea of writing a script along the lines you describe for some time, but of course life always gets in the way. Maybe your enquiry is the impetus I require.

If you're still interested then tell me a bit more about yourself and elabourate further on what you're looking for and I'll come up with a synopsis. If you like the synopsis I'll come up with a short script.

As with most things in life, I actually work better under pressure. What do you say?
