---------

25 movies have been made through InkTip in 2011 alone!!! InkTip is where you should have your scripts listed.
---------

We are pleased to announce that three more scripts were optioned and two more writers gained representation through InkTip!

Joseph Nasser Options "Project 72"
Joseph Nasser with the Nasser Entertainment Group found "Project 72" on InkTip and optioned it from writer Caroline Riley. Some of Nasser's recent credits include "Dawn Rider" with Donald Sutherland and Christian Slater, and "Knockout" with WWE legend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and both of those films were written by writers Nasser met on InkTip. Caroline is also the writer on "The Ganzfield Experiment," starring Billy Zane and Rumer Willis, which is in production now. This is her first option through InkTip.

Maritza Guimet Option "The Messenger"
Maritza Guimet with CPA Films found "The Messenger: I'm Not Cain!" on InkTip and optioned it from writer Rick Brady. In fact, she optioned it just two days after it was posted on the site, so it had to come right back down before a lot of other producers even had a chance to see it. It is now being developed as part of a slate of MOWs for OlympuSAT cable television outlets, and "The Messenger" is a family-friendly project that will air on their new faith-based channel. This is Rick's first option through InkTip.

Barbie Castro Options "A Blind Eye"
Barbie Castro with Concord Films LLC found "A Blind Eye" on InkTip and optioned it from Lloyd Wagner & Bradford Youngs. Barbie, who is starring in the feature, recently won three Best Actress awards on the festival circuit for the short film "Conduit." Principal photography is set to commence in the 1st quarter of 2012 with award-winning Alyn Darnay as director. Bradford Youngs met Lloyd Wagner through InkTip, and this is their third option through InkTip in the last month.

Benderspink Signs Tribble & Wingo
Benderspink discovered writing partners Kipp Tribble and Derik Wingo through InkTip. This took place when a producer with a first look deal at Sony discovered their script "The Heist Before Christmas" on the site and referred it over to James Engle at Benderspink, who signed them as clients. Tribble and Wingo's credits include "Coffin" with Kevin Sorbo, Bruce Davison and Sunny Doench, which they wrote, directed and starred in. Coffin had a limited theatrical release in October and will be released on DVD later this year in the US through Artist View Entertainment.

Hundreds of writers have sold/optioned their screenplays by having their scripts on InkTip.com.

---------------
1) DBA Amusements - 3D/4D Writing Samples
---------------
 
We are looking for Writing Samples, pitches, concepts and/or finished scripts for 3D/4D content. We are expecially interested in 4D scripts featuring some sort of underwater or aquatic adventure. This is a specialty format for “live action” content. 3D/4D content refers to films exhibited usually at amusement parks, in 8 - 40 seat venues, and the visuals are complimented by physical action within the theater. For example, the action is reflected with the seats ‘moving’ with what's happening on-screen, ‘mist sprays’ over the audience and ‘fog machines’ creating an eerie ambience, etc. This is the newest and most exclusive form of transmedia writing, and this assignment will be for a name brand ride franchise. If you choose to pitch, please pitch a script/concept with distinct 3D/4D sensibility. Please note this is a writer-hire opportun ity, and we will request some scripts from chosen pitches to evaluate as writing samples, but we are not looking for material to option or adapt.
 
Budget has yet to be determined. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.
 
Please note that in order to protect this company from unsolicited calls and emails, and because this lead is exclusive to InkTip subscribers, we're keeping their name anonymous.

2) Nasser Entertainment Group - Canadian Action Thrillers

Budget is open. Only non-WGA writers should submit.

4) More Companies Seeking Scripts/Writers
---------------

The Next Preferred Deadline is November 18th.

Subscribe now by clicking here.

Below are more companies seeking scripts, which are available in this week’s Preferred Newsletter (without contact information/credits). To receive the information, the cost is $50 for a four-month subscription (half price if you have a script on the site!).

For more information about the Preferred Newsletter go here: www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.

**
Company A
**

We are looking for completed feature-length high-concept action or sci-fi scripts that have franchise potential. The script should have a very clear “through line” for the protagonist. We are interested in scripts that are cutting-edge and evoke visceral action and tension in a way that could eventually result in cross-platform packaging and branding such as video games, graphic novels and other media. The protagonist should be a strong, clearly-defined character that, along with the story’s setting, could develop into a franchise. We are particularly open to a new spin on a familiar world (or new spin on genre clichés; e.g. a unique spy script or zombie script – think huge video game franchises like “Dead Island, “Halo” or “Metal Gear Solid”). The protagonist should have high stakes, preferably life and death. By high-concept, we mean the script’s main conflict for the protagonist can be pitched in one short sentence with a title that easily markets the story or genre.
 
Budget is open. WG and Non-WG writers may submit.

For more information on gaining access to this lead, please see
www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.

**
Company B
**

We are looking for completed feature-length aviation scripts. Material submitted can involve an air show, or pilots in training, but note we are not interested in material featuring terrorists on a commercial airliner.
 
Budget will not exceed $5 million. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.

For more information on gaining access to this lead, please see
www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.

**
Company C
**

We are looking for completed feature-length action scripts that were written for a male lead in his 30s, with stories that take place in just two to five locations. Submissions must be for material that is contemporary.
 
Budget will not exceed $1million. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.

For more information on gaining access to this lead, please see
www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.

**
Company D
**

We are looking for completed feature-length teen sex comedies, i.e. material that is outrageous in the way that "American Pi"e and "Porky’s" were in their time.
 
Budget will not exceed $1 million. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.

For more information on gaining access to this lead, please see
www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.

**
Company E
**

We are looking for completed feature-length quirky, offbeat scripts in the vein of “Being John Malkovich,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” or other Charlie Kaufman or Coen Brothers style scripts. We are looking to take advantage of specific locations, so we are not open to scripts set in international locations or period pieces. Also, we are NOT open to scripts about screenwriting/Hollywood (like “Adaptation”) or stories that are too stagnant in energy or “slice of life” scripts. We prefer the offbeat worlds of the above scripts over the flood of indie festival films about a single dysfunctional family. We are not open to road trip stories.

Budget will not exceed $300,000. WG and Non-WG writers may submit.

For more information on gaining access to this lead, please see
www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.

**
Company F
**

We are looking for completed feature-length ultra-low budget heist scripts where the script’s principal characters are married to one another. Since this is low-budget, we are not seeking scripts that are large in scope, no explosions, wild car chases, casino heists, etc.
 
Budget will not exceed $200,000. Non-WGA writers only may submit.

For more information on gaining access to this lead, please see
www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.
