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 contemporary mystery/thriller scripts. In other words, scripts in the vein of “Memento,” “The Machinist” or “The Usual Suspects.” We are NOT looking for horror or action/thrillers. In other words, no scripts in the vein of “Taken.” We are more interested in some crime or tension and suspense, such as in “Silence of the Lambs” or a modern film noir (present day setting).
 
Budget will not exceed $5 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 B
**

We are looking for completed feature-length lower-budget disaster scripts appropriate for television. We are looking for stories about large-scale disasters, end-of-time plagues, etc. In other words, a script about the world’s earthquakes happening at once or spiders taking over the world. We are not looking for a script about a small terrorist threat or a criminal threatening to blow up a sports arena. This should be a large worldwide threat similar to a “Knowing” or “Deep Impact” but much smaller in budget.
 
Budget will not exceed $1.5 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 C
**

We are looking for completed feature-length creature feature scripts appropriate for television. In other words, scripts about a giant mutated killer bee. We also have interest in a script about spiders, roaches or sharks so please make sure that you submit these if you have them. Since this is for a television network, the budget will be lower (this is not a summer blockbuster).
 
Budget will not exceed $1.5 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 D
**

We are looking for completed feature-length limited-location action/thriller scripts; by limited locations, we mean less than six locations. i.e. scripts in the vein of “Phone Booth” and “Buried.” Since this is a low budget project, no expensive car chase sequences, extensive SFX or VFX, large crowd scenes, etc. We are open to both male and female leads. Definitely NO horror. 
 
Budget will not exceed $500,000. 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 dramatic scripts about a man having a mid-life crisis. We are not seeking an imitation of “American Beauty,” i.e. something a little different, and that focuses more on the man rather than the rest of a family. The story MUST be told from the man’s perspective and not from another character (in “The Squid and the Whale,” the POV was more of the son’s rather than the father). To reiterate, the man’s psyche must be explored, as we are NOT interested in exploring the rest of the family; the primary focus must be the man’s character. We are open to provocative themes as long as it relates to the man and not his children, wife, etc. The tone should not be preachy (not a “feel good movie”) or intended for a family audience (should be for adults like “Sideways”). It should be more about how a man deals with middle age and his world crumbling. The script should be unique and insightful. We are definitely open to some humor, but we’re not looking for all-out broad comedies (no “Old Dogs.”), rom-coms, thrillers or other genres. It should be classified more as a drama/dramedy.
 
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 F
**

We are looking for scripts from produced television (network/cable) and/or feature film writers (feature length films, not shorts) who are seeking representation. When submitting, please send a logline and state your produced feature or television credits in the personal message space. At this time, we are only looking for commercial but unique films, a step above the usual genre picture or pilot. In other words, no small indie/small niche films at this time.
 
Budget is irrelevant. 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 G
**

We are looking for completed feature-length character-driven, offbeat scripts from Australian writers or those who qualify for residency. We are open to various genres. By offbeat, we mean scripts that are not TOO mainstream in their sensibilities and stories that focus on interpersonal relationships. The script would ideally be “against the grain,” meaning not obviously derivative.
 
Budget will not exceed $5 million.  Both WGA and Non-WGA writers may submit. Writers need to qualify under Australian content provision rules.

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

**
Company H
**

We are looking for completed feature-length completely unique contained thriller scripts, i.e. material that has immediacy and intensity with a limited cast and limited locations. Cast should appeal to teen or twenty something marketplace. Do not submit material with leads over the age of 35.
 
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.
