For more information about the Preferred Newsletter go here: www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.   ** Company C ** We are looking for completed, feature-length thriller scripts featuring a main character who is a singer or musician in a punk band.

For more information about the Preferred Newsletter go here: www.InkTip.com/pnews.php.   ** Company I ** We are looking for completed, feature-length, inspirational scripts.  This is meant for television, so the script should not have been shopped to networks yet.
