1) Emerald Films – Seeking Realistic Christmas Scripts

We are looking for completed feature-length Christmas scripts.

4) More Producers Seeking Screenplays and Writers

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 psychological thriller scripts with a twist ending. When pitching, please make sure you include a synopsis that explains the twist on the end of the story.
 
Budget will not exceed $5 million. 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 situational horror, thriller, or suspense scripts. Stories submitted must be about character(s) in a situation where they have a very clear and specific goal and a reason why they cannot reach that goal. When pitching, please describe your story’s character/goal/obstacle situation in the synopsis, since this is the basis on which we evaluate material submitted. For example, in “Open Water 2,” they want to get back into the boat but can’t because they forgot to lower the ladder. In “Dead on Arrival,” he wants to find out who poisoned him but only has three days till he dies. If you choose to pitch us your script or treatment, please include a sentence like one of the above two examples. Note that submissions needn’t necessarily be completed scripts, but your pitches/treatments should be registered before you pitch them.
 
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 C
**

We are looking for completed feature-length limited-location, dramatic scripts (set in 3 or less locations) to shoot in Scandinavia. The tone and the style of the project are very important. We are NOT open to comedies or action. There can be some “elevated horror” elements, but an example of the style would be films from Scandinavian filmmakers (“Let the Right One In,” films by Susanne Bier). Please look these films up if you are not aware of them as many submissions due to differences in culture may not fit. Please include a synopsis.
 
Budget will not exceed $1 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 family/adventure/fantasy scripts with a 14-year-old female lead and that have faith-based metaphorical storylines, i.e. something in the spirit of “Chronicles of Narnia,” but doable at an Ultra-Low Budget. The idea here is we want to do a faith-based film, but we don’t want in-your-face-faith, so we want scripts based on Christian stories and themes, while telling those stories and themes through metaphor. Contemporary submissions only, please. Limited number of cast and locations.
 
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 E
**

We are looking for completed feature-length rom-com scripts with a female lead in her 20s-30s and appropriate for television. These should only be present-day set scripts. Since it’s for television, nothing that relies on rated-R comedy. The focus of the story must be the female lead character.
 
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 completed feature-length music-driven scripts. The music should be a contemporary music genre, meaning pop, rock, etc, mainly no classical music. If the script is a biopic of a musician, then you must already have the life rights. You must include a synopsis with your submission or it will not be considered.
 
Budget has yet to be determined. Both WGA and Non-WGA writers may submit.

Please sign this petition and tell Congress:

NO MORE adding hundreds of pages to a bill in the middle of the night and passing it hours later.

NO MORE "deals" made behind closed doors just before the vote.

NO MORE special interests influencing our laws at the last possible minute.

SIGN the petition and DEMAND CONGRESSIONAL REFORM.

And be sure to join us June 17th as we converge on DC to demand Congressional reform.
