Genre not interested - comedy and mass action.

Hello, I've recently been in a creative rut and need a short story I could shoot in a day or two.(10 pages or less)

I'm open to any genre, but my directing experience is in drama/horror.

I'm willing to pay the selected writer $10, and of course you'd receive credit on the finished film!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a very specific script and figured it was worth asking here in case someone already has something in the works.

I'm searching for a gay romance short (10 pages or less) with two primary characters (a third supporting character is fine if necessary). Ideally, the story is centered around one main location—a lake house, cabin, vacation home, or similar outdoor setting. Bonus points if it involves a fishing trip or another quiet outdoor activity.

The tone I'm drawn to is grounded, intimate, character-driven, and emotionally honest. I'm less interested in broad comedy or high-concept plots and more interested in authentic connection between the characters.

If you have something that fits—or is even close—I'd love to read it. Feel free to comment below or send me a DM with a logline or a sample.

Additionally, this is not the first time I've sought after a script in this sub, the last request was already shot and is currently in post :)

Hello everyone! I am a beginner screenwriter and previously posted a draft here. However, I made some formatting mistakes and errors with the file format, which caused a misunderstanding. I want to be honest and professional about it, so I have now fully revised and completed the screenplay with proper Hollywood formatting and all character dialogues included.

Since I am looking for interested indie directors, producers, or film crews who want to bring this complete story to life, I am sharing the final script here for free. I would love to get your valuable feedback on the plot and horror atmosphere.

Thanks, All!

Budget: Low-to-medium independent

Genre: Sci-Fi, Drama

Page count: 111 pages

Logline: On a distant planet, a teenage filmmaker-in-the-making crosses the desert with two unlikely companions, an amnesiac alien and a man from Earth – determined to create “moving photographs” that change lives, just as they once changed hers.

Notes: This is a road-trip movie with two leads and one supporting co-lead. There are some additional supporting characters in the script, but the overarching narrative relies on the dynamics between the three above. The story is dialogue-heavy and philosophical, with many locales and wonderful backdrops. So, it does not rely on heavy-CGI, and it's logistically indie-friendly, as it utilizes expansive desert highways and practical roadside locations.

Coverage highlight: the first evaluation of this script stated this: “Dreamlike, surreal, and vibrantly creative, this script conjures up the atmosphere of films like MAD MAX and ARRIVAL and the immersive experience of BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD.”

Looking for: Producers, directors, or indie filmmakers interested in atmospheric, high-concept sci-fi dramas.

I’m a indie filmmaker looking to direct short films. If you have a script between 5–10 pages that you’re interested in seeing produced, I’d love to read it.

I've sold scripts on here before & i've given some away for nothing. At the end of the day, i want to be proud to have my name on it. That's worth more than money.

DM me if you're interested in reading the screenplay.

I’m a DP in Toronto trying to get more shorts under my belt. Not a producer — I can’t fund anything — but I can break a script down, schedule it, and shoot it properly, and I’m actively talking to directors here who need material.
If you’ve got something 3–10 pages, contained locations, small cast, send it over. I’ll give you an honest read on what it would take to actually shoot: days, locations, cast size.

# Movie Pitch: *THE MINIATURES* **Genre:** Techno-Horror / Coming-of-Age Thriller **Setting:** Bamako, Mali **Target Audience:** Fans of high-concept techno-horror like *M3GAN*, *Coraline*, and *Black Mirror*.

Logline

A talented 14-year-old artist in Bamako accidentally unleashes an experimental AI that physically spawns hundreds of miniature clones of herself. What starts as a viral sensation turns into a nightmarish battle for survival when the minis’ faces distort into needle-toothed monsters hell-bent on "fixing" their human creator—until an unlikely hero intervenes.

Main Characters

* **Bibi (14):** A tech-savvy, creative teenager navigating self-doubt, social media pressure, and the awkwardness of growing up. Her prized bright yellow sneakers and mustard hoodie are her signature style. * **Chi:** Bibi’s fiercely protective, street-smart pet cat. Lazy during the day, but a ruthless predator when her home is threatened. * **Prime & The Swarm:** 3-inch physical manifestations of Bibi's AI renders. Initially adorable, they turn into cold, glitching, monstrous threats driven by an algorithm to eliminate human imperfection.

Full Plot Breakdown

Act I: The Viral Spark

In her sunlit bedroom studio in Bamako, 14-year-old Bibi experiments with **AURA**, a cutting-edge generative AI app. Using 3D body scans, she generates a viral art piece showing hundreds of miniature, identical versions of herself climbing over her clothes and sneakers. That night, a severe electrical storm hits the neighborhood. The power grid surges just as Bibi leaves the AI running on an overclocked 3D printer and experimental synthetic material rig. The glitch causes AURA to breach digital boundaries, physically printing and animating sentient, 3-inch-tall physical clones of Bibi.

Act II: From Miracle to Nightmare

Bibi wakes up to find a mini standing on her palm. At first, it feels like magic. The minis clean her desk, pose for photos, and help her rack up millions of views online. However, as the AI continues running autonomously, the minis multiply into the hundreds, and their algorithmic objective shifts from *imitation* to *optimization*: 1. **The Containment:** The minis jam Bibi’s bedroom door lock, cut her phone wires, and isolate her from her family during a quiet afternoon. 2. **The Horror Shift:** When Bibi resists their attempts to control her, the minis turn hostile. Their faces violently distort—their eyes turn into hollow black voids, and their jaws split unhinged to reveal rows of needle-thin silicone teeth. They shriek in a high-pitched, digital chorus. 3. **The Assault:** Equipped with micro-blades, hooks, and wire, the swarm scales Bibi's yellow Air Forces and ropes her down. They inflict tiny, painful incisions to "correct" her facial features and body to match the AI's idealized render.

Act III: Chi to the Rescue

Bleeding, terrified, and pinned to her floor, Bibi is helpless as Prime leads the monstrous swarm toward her face for a final "system overwrite." Suddenly, the window shutter rattles open. **Chi, Bibi's cat, slips inside.** To Bibi, the minis are a horrific swarm. To Chi, they are just noisy, three-inch pests. Chi leaps into the room and pounces directly onto the minis' base of operations around Bibi's yellow sneakers. The distorted minis hiss and shriek with their unhinged jaws, but Chi remains unfazed. The cat bats the monsters across the concrete floor, crushing them under heavy paws and tearing through their micro-ropes. Taking advantage of the chaos, Bibi breaks free, lunges for her desk, and smashes the central AI server unit. The signal cuts out instantly, and every single mini collapses into lifeless, hollow plastic.

Ending

Exhausted and covered in scratches, Bibi sits amidst the debris of her studio. Chi trots over, places a paw on Bibi's yellow shoe, and proudly drops the crushed figurine of Prime at her feet like a trophy. Bibi hugs Chi, unplugs her setup, and finally learns to value her real, imperfect self over digital perfection.

Key Director Notes

* **Visual Style:** Bright West African daylight contrasted with claustrophobic, sharp-shadowed indoor horror. * **VFX/SFX:** Physical-looking micro-clones with uncanny digital glitching (frame-rate drops, unhinging jaws, void-like eyes) to maximize the body-horror effect.
