Budget will not exceed $2 million. 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 F ** We are looking for completed feature-length crime scripts. We are interested in crime scripts that are different from the generic norm.   In other words, we like scripts in the vein of “Frequency” (Dennis Quaid) and “The Usual Suspects” that gravitate towards character-driven suspense and not action sequences. We are not looking for a script like “Smokin’ Aces” that rely more on action/thriller shootouts. Also, we are not looking for stories set in international locations that cannot be replicated in North America.   We are not interested in true crime stories without life rights. Budget will not exceed $1 million. Both WGA and Non-WGA writers may submit.
