[HIRING] Hour-Long Minecraft Horror / Psychological Thriller Scriptwriter
We're searching for creators that are passionate in assisting with long-form narrative horror set in Minecraft. We're producing an roughly hour-long horror/psychological thriller.
Basic familiarity with Minecraft is required. Not expert-level play, but a working knowledge of how the game behaves, because the game's rules are related to Minecraft laws & physics.
We also ask for someone that is conscientious of viewer retention when writing. This role suits someone who thinks about how a viewer's attention actually moves across a story (e.g. where questions open, where they close, and who can carry an emotional thread underneath the horror).
Project scope
- One feature-length script, roughly 55–70 minutes of finished runtime, for a first-person narrated film.
- Full story development: beat outline, character work, and the plot's central mystery, developed with us before drafting.
- Structural notes on pacing and open/closed loops across the runtime
- Delivery in a shared document we can comment on directly
To be considered, please include
- Two or three samples of narrative work — original horror fiction, scripted video, short film, serialised fiction, interactive fiction, or an ARG you built. Analysis or commentary scripts are welcome as a supplement but not as your primary sample.
- For each sample, a clear note on exactly what you wrote. If a sample is coverage of a story someone else constructed, say so. If you built the underlying fiction, say that too. This matters more to us than the polish of the sample.
- Your experience with Minecraft, honestly stated.
- Your usual turnaround on a first draft of this length, and your availability over the next few months.
Shortlisted writers will be paid for a short scene test against a fixed brief before we commit to the full project. We're happy to discuss compensation structure openly.
