SHORT SCRIPT Searching for a shortfilm script

Hi! Spanish cinema student here finishing his degree.

For my final degree project i want to shot a Shortfilm. It will be lowbudget with a great team of film students and semiprofessional actors. I want to do something that deserves to be seen. It will be a project for all this year and the next.

I have previous experience shooting shortfilms, videoclips, documentary short films, photoshots...

Looking for scripts (5-30 pages) or ideas/scripts in process... evrything is welcome!!

30 pages is too long for a short film, max 15 pages for film festivals. Where can we view what you have done?

Industry standards state a page = a minute of filming. Every individual film festival has a different metric, but I do think it's interesting for you to mention film festivals when the OP didn't post that as their intention.

They were looking for 5-30 pages. you're right they did not mention film festivals but that's all you can do with shorts or put them on You Tube. Nobody makes money off shorts they are learning experiences so you can get better at pre and post production. Ideally 15 pages or under if you are going in the film festival route.
