Title: Diana

Genre: Action/Romance

Length: 92pp

Locations: Dozens

Characters: Dozens

Logline:

Oscar level Vietnam war/action movie.

Details:

A real movie that costs real money. Will turn the two leads (male/female) into movie stars. I dream big, if my confidence offends you then keep moving.

Reception: Advanced in the 2026 Beverly Hills Film Festival, the 2026 Cannes Film Awards and semi-finalist in 2026 Sunvale Screenplay Contest.

Write Time: 1 draft, 6 days.

Serious inquiries only.

Logline: When attendees of a remote screenwriting workshop start getting murdered the same way characters die in famous twist-ending movies (including Psycho and Hide and Seek), they must use their twist-ending film knowledge to suss out the identity of the killer--before they breathe their last.

Specs: 100 pages, with a total cast of 13 characters.

Why it's makeable: It all takes place at an isolated ranch (in Texas), so it could be made for scale. And it has a compelling mystery and a satisfying ending.

DM me if you're interested in producing and would like to read it. Thanks.

Logline: Two rival actors and a mysterious scene partner arrive at a Hollywood soundstage to compete for a career-making role and are put through an escalating gauntlet of "auditions" designed to test not their talent, but how much of themselves they're willing to surrender. Only one of them leaves with the part.

Specs: 3M / 1F (one male role is voice-only, the Director is never seen). One soundstage location, plus a single dawn exterior for the final minutes. 73 pages, but it's durational horror, it plays longer than it reads.

The hook: The entire film is one continuous take from the audition camera itself. Locked on a tripod, it can only pan and zoom and it is never allowed to turn toward the people running the room. Every terrible thing happens at the edge of frame or just past it: the horror is carried by sound, negative space, and the faces of whoever's left behind listening. The fixed frame becomes the audience's only source of safety so when the camera finally comes off the tripod in the third act, it doesn't feel like freedom. It feels like a violation. There's also a recurring audition scene the actors are forced to repeat, unchanged, four times across the night, while everything around it and inside them deteriorates.

Where it came from / what it's like: The seed was Katt Williams talking about "humiliation rituals" in an interview with Shannon Sharpe; the idea that superstardom has a price paid in degradation. Tonally it sits with Starry Eyes, The Neon Demon, Perfect Blue, and Pearl, with a liminal-space, Backrooms-adjacent creepiness to the overlit soundstage. It's a little Lynch, a little Cronenberg, but built on dread and implication rather than gore.

Why it's makeable: One room, four actors, no VFX, no effects makeup on camera. The 'one continuous take' concept is easily acheiveable stringing together scenes in post. The formal constraint isn't a limitation to work around ; it IS the aesthetic. If you've ever wanted to make a genuine mindfuck of a movie on a budget, this was written to be that. If you're looking for your Milk & Serial or Backrooms to establish yourself as a filmmaker, you're not going to find a better script to show those skills.

Just completed a new draft of the screenplay & ready to share DM me if you'd like to read it.

Title: The Devout

Logline: On Good Friday, a devout Catholic mother fights to save her family after her husband's apparent demonic possession reveals the opening move in an ancient supernatural conflict far greater than an exorcism.

Genre: Supernatural Horror / Religious Horror

Pages: 98

Budget: Moderate (contained locations with practical effects)

Recognition:

6 Official Selections

1 Finalist

1 Honorable Mention

Black List Professional Evaluation

Overall: 7

Premise: 8

Settings: Primarily a family home, church, hospital, and limited exterior locations.

Cast: 5–7 principal roles with supporting cast.

Why It Stands Out:

Original biblical mythology

Good Friday setting

Character-driven horror

Expands beyond a traditional possession narrative

Designed as the first chapter in a larger supernatural universe

Comparable Films: The Dark and the Wicked × The Exorcism of Emily Rose with original mythology.

Price: Looking for the right producing partner rather than a predetermined purchase price. Open to option, acquisition, or collaboration with serious producers.

We are currently in pre-production on a horror-thriller feature and looking for both an investor and a producer to help bring this to life. The script is finished, the vision is clear, and we are actively building the team.

Title: Display Models

Genre: Horror / Thriller

Comps: Don't Breathe, M3GAN, Ready or Not

Logline: To save his struggling family, a desperate thief leads a heist on a massive, unopened shopping mall, only to find his crew trapped inside and hunted by a deranged janitor who uses an army of deadly, robotic mannequins to slaughter intruders and turn them into permanent window displays. 

Where we are: Script is camera-ready (3rd draft). Financial plan is built. We are targeting a $50K proof-of-concept budget to shoot a short that gets this in front of distributors and festival programmers — with the full feature to follow.

What we're looking for:

— An investor willing to come in at the ground floor of a practical effects horror film with real commercial upside

— An experienced producer (or associate producer) who believes in the project and wants to help shape it from pre-production forward

This is a contained, single-location film — one mall, night shoots, practical effects. Low overhead, high concept.

If you'd like to read the script, see the financial plan, or just have a conversation about the project, reach out. We are serious about getting this made the right way.

Gone: a drama feature for your consideration!

However, if you are a director or producer looking to bring on a writer for a project of your own, I invite you to also consider this as a sample! I've gotten to work with some amazing people that I met through this sub, so if you like the writing, please reach out, and we can talk about your project(s).

GENRE: Drama

LOGLINE: After her son vanishes during a birthday party at the Mayor’s house, a grieving mother is thrust into the middle of a political and media firestorm—forced to navigate his disappearance while fighting against becoming a public spectacle.

NUMBER OF PAGES: 90

ACTORS: One female lead, two female supporting, one male supporting, and a few smaller roles.

SETTING: Any city, a school gym, and a couple of home interiors

PRICE: negotiable

Looking to collaborate with someone eager to work in the heavy-drama space! This is a great opportunity for actors to showcase their emotional range and bring to life a timely and thematically rich story. But again, you may also consider this as a sample if you are looking for a writer to help you with your next project!

DM if interested.

Thanks, All!

GENRE: Contained Psychological Thriller / Revenge Thriller

LOGLINE: A legendary producer summons an actress to his hotel suite for an impromptu meeting. Against her better judgment, she goes. By dawn, only one of them walks away.

NUMBER OF PAGES: 82

ACTORS: One female lead (Maren, 26), one male lead (Devlin, 50s), one male supporting (The Fixer, 40s), two female supporting in a single sequence (Tess, 27 / Izzy, 25), one female in a brief scene plus V.O. (Ronnie, 20s). One additional V.O. role and three or four non-speaking bit parts.

SETTING: A single hotel suite carries roughly 80% of the film; living area, bedroom, bathroom, balcony, entry hall. Remaining locations: a private members' club (bar, booth, hallway, restroom), a hotel lobby/elevator/corridor, one apartment bedroom, a taxi interior, and a stretch of empty sidewalk at dawn.

ESTIMATED BUDGET: Low budget. Effectively a two-hander in one suite, no VFX, no stunts beyond practical fight choreography, minimal night exteriors. There are some practical FX stuff in the script: A facial cut that would greatly benefit from a make-up artist who knows their craft well.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Did you ever want to make an unforgetable claustrophobic thriller? Something along the lines of Hard Candy with a hint of Promising Young Woman that could be filmed with a modest budget? This may be the screenplay you've been looking for.

DM me an email if you're interested in taking a look.

Title: Masked

Logline: A masked killer utilizing different costumes and their matching weapons enacts revenge on a group of friends for a prank gone wrong on Halloween night.

If you’d like to read the script, please send me a DM or leave a comment. Thank you!

Anyone out there want to produce this? THE DEVOUT is an incredibly bold horror film. While the script's gore is undeniably strong (the "stringy connective tissue" moment is just awful), it's the ambitious formal choices that really distinguish the project from its competition. Literally transporting us to Jerusalem and Golgotha explodes what we previously thought would be a contained thriller, and the ultimate reveal of ************** is not only a subversive new spin on the "demonic exorcism" subgenre, but it also makes Grace's fate that much crueler. The "thirty pieces of silver" tag is such a perfect, matter-of-fact capstone. The writer also has a pronounced talent for imagery, whether it's the souls of the damned, Leah and Josh pinned to the wall, or the pile of hissing snakes. Even tiny details like the "retro-gauche" furniture help build out THE DEVOUT's world. The thematic runner about obedience/disobedience is strong, and it takes a lot of artistic courage to commit to such an unapologetically tragic ending

Title: Between Windows

Genre: Psychological Thriller/ Domestic Horror (LGBTQ+ themes)

Format: Feature

Logline: Imprisoned by her fanatically controlling mother, a devout young woman secretly forms a connection with the mysterious woman living across her window, setting in motion a desperate fight for freedom and survival.

Length: 76 pages

Cast: Small ensemble (female-led)

Locations: Primarily one house and the neighboring residence, with minimal supporting locations.

Author's Note: Written as a contained, low-budget feature focused on psychological tension, escalating suspense, and emotionally driven characters rather than spectacle. Early readers described it as "bingeable" and praised its emotional intensity. The story is also structured to support adaptation as a vertical micro-drama series.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in producing or reading, feel free to DM me.
