**
Company C
**

We are looking for completed television pilot scripts from writers with a strong knowledge of Southwest Native American reservation life / politics.
Please note that this is a writer for hire opportunity, so we are not looking for scripts to option, just writing samples which convey good TV Paced mystery / suspense writing first and an understanding of reservation life second.
Pilot budget will be between $1 - $2 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 D
**

We are looking for completed feature-length romance scripts in the vein of “The Notebook.” This will be filmed as a Korean-language adaptation, so we are not looking for scripts that depend on specific pop culture, landmarks, etc. By romance, we mean more serious romantic stories such as “The Notebook” or “One Day" rather than a fluffy rom-com. In other words, no light-hearted or screwball comedy scripts; the above examples are more appropriate. Please include a synopsis that details the main plot points in the story rather than just a logline or tagline.
Budget is open. Both 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 holiday scripts featuring a young person and a dog, and centered around Christmas. Adventurous, high concept, fantasy elements preferred, but material must be contemporary. Note also, we are only interested in reading family friendly material, garning a G or PG rating, as the target audience is kids 6-12 and parents. Submissions should be in the vein of "The Dog the Saved Christmas," or "The Search for Santa Paws."
Budget will not exceed $500K. Only non-WGA writers should 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 psychological, dark fantastical or magical realism scripts as samples from writers open to writing on spec. In other words, scripts that are mainly based in our present-day or near-future world but that explore darker themes or slight fantastical elements i.e. scripts in the vein of “Enter the Void,” “Black Swan” or “Pan’s Labyrinth.” We aren’t interested in pure action scripts. They should be more character-driven or slightly surreal, perhaps even with themes of the occult/conspiracy like in “The Wicker Man.” If your pitch interests us, we will request the complete sample script for further consideration. Please only submit if you are open to writing on spec.
