I'm looking for completed scripts with unusual structured story telling – meaning that the story isn't told in the standard linear way. Some recent examples would be 'Run Lola Run', '13 Conversations about 1 Thing', 'Memento', 'Adaptation', 'Pulp Fiction', 'Mulholland Dr.', 'The Limey'. Genre is not a concern as long as it is character driven and the story is presented in a unique, NON-LINEAR way. The budget must fall under $200,000, so no CGI, special effects, period costumes, or large production value concepts. I prefer positive message and/or spiritual
storylines. I prefer that the story contain a lead or large supporting character for a 30-something male.

A few 'flash-backs' or 'flash-forwards' are not what I consider
non-linear storyline or unique storytelling structure. Please, only submit your query if it falls under non-linear or another unique storytelling structure. I am searching for something other than a normal 3-act, linear script. Thanks for your attention to this detail!

I produced/directed the 37 minute short, 'Everything Exposed By Light,' and the feature movie 'Signs of Undoing', which is now in
post-production. More info about us can be found at:

When you email your synopsis, at the top of the email please explainyour non-linear and/or unique structure. Please send it to:

I am looking for an edgy, character driven, dramatic love story (i.e., two young people who fall in love but outrageous (but believable) circumstance lead to their demise or resolution). Examples of this would be 'Sid and Nancy', 'Secretary', 'Requiem For a Dream' and 'Leaving Las Vegas.'

Budget Range 2-5 mil.

Ich weiß es paßt hier nicht ganz her.
SAN FRANCISCO - Some prostitutes are tired of continually being
negatively portrayed in movies. So, several have decided to
get off their backs and on their feet to create a film festival
of their own. The 3rd San Francisco Sex Worker Film and Video
Festival takes place May 23-26 and features close to 50 films
that are either about the sex industry or made by prostitutes
themselves. One example includes a documentary about trans-
gendered immigrant prostitutes in Italy. Another serves as an
educational tool about the proper techniques for vulva massage.
Though the festival's organizer admits much of the sex worker
cinema is highly arousing, she stands by her claim that the
festival's real mission is to bring light to the connection
between prostitution and the arts.

Sponsored by Paramount Pictures, the Chesterfield
Writer's Film Project will award five $20,000 fellowships
to film, fiction and theater writers. Winners will also
receive the guidance of top screenwriting mentors and
Paramount executives. Writers can submit one or more
writing samples for a $39.50 application fee. For more
information, please visit http://www.chesterfield-co.com
or call +1(213) 683-3977.
