Call for Screenwriters

Giant Eel Productions is a new Michigan-based independent production company focused on innovating the 3D production model. Our company is currently seeking screenplays, treatments and production concepts in a range of genres to produce in “reduced 3D” which emphasizes narrative development and visual texture over spectacle.

We’re most interested in screenwriting in the following categories: television pilots, narrative shorts, feature scripts and ultra-short webvision series. Please, no animation.

What we look for in screenwriting: visual juxtaposition concepts, local location-based plots, clever dialogue, gratuitous violence, mythical symbolism, dark humor, rhythm/repetition, the personification of abstract ideas, poetic narration, perverse sexuality (no pornographic concepts), surrealism, ultra-specific detailed descriptions and narratives which explore the perspectives of marginalized individuals or communities.

Giant Eel Productions will either buy scripts outright for a modest sum or negotiate a commission relationship contingent on distribution. If you would prefer a specific transactional relationship, please include that preference with your script. Please send physical copies of scripts to:

Giant Eel Productions
1024 Olivia St
Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Please include a separate covers sheet with: name, age, email address, telephone number, return address and paragraph-long synopsis.

We will not return scripts without self-addressed stamped envelope. Please email questions to gianteel@gmail.com
