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 horror scripts. We are only open to scripts with a sense of humor, “fun” or playfulness. For example, scripts like “Scream” or “Final Destination.” The script does not have to be an all-out horror/comedy but it should not be bleak and take itself TOO seriously.
 
Budget will not exceed $7 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 moral message scripts that are gritty and not squeaky clean. In other words, a script that ultimately has a positive message behind it so that it does not fit the traditional faith-based model. However, we are NOT interested in scripts simply where the good guy wins in the end. It should deal strongly with moral issues and crises of faith or philosophy. Examples would be films like “Bad Lieutenant” or “The Passion of the Christ.”
 
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 C
**

We are looking for completed feature-length scripts where all or most of the characters are Irish. Note that we are open to scripts set anywhere in the world as long as they feature Irish characters.
 
Budget has yet to be determined. 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 faith-based scripts, i.e. material in the vein of “Fireproof.” Submissions need be for contemporary material that will appeal to a broad Christian audience, so no period pieces or sectarian material, please.
 
Budget will not exceed $1 million. Only non-WGA writers should submit at this point in time.

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

**
Company E
**

We are looking for completed 1-hr pilot scripts for a dramatic cable series. Since it is for cable, we are looking for something edgy with a strong, dynamic hook and characters that set it apart from other series. This should be evident in the logline as well as in the synopsis.
 
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 found footage scripts. We are especially interested in any new takes or angles on the found footage genre. 
 
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 G
**

We are looking for completed feature-length scripts as writing samples from writers who are interested in working with us to develop and produce a feature film in mainland China. As writing samples, we specifically need cross cultural stories featuring the intersection between two cultures and languages. Please note this is for writing samples only; we are not looking for scripts to option, just writers to partner with.
 
Budget will be determined based on the project. WG and non-WG writers may submit.

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 live-action sci-fi/action scripts where a mechanized suit is integral to the storyline, i.e. material in the vein of “Gundam,” “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” and “Patlabor.” Please note that, while the examples we’re giving in this lead are animated projects, we are looking for live action material in that same vein, so please do not submit material specifically written for animation. At this point in time, we are only interested in submissions from writers who have been optioned or produced before, so when pitching, please include your credits in the resume space provided. 
 
Budget is open. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.
