**
Company D
**

We are looking for completed, feature-length, elevated genre scripts from unrepped writers. By “elevated genre,” we mean that the script can be in a variety of genres but that it should be elevated above low-brow qualities and focus as much on the dramatic and emotional sensibilities while providing some character depth and layers of meaning. Most “genre” films may not do this nor are they “intended” or marketed for this, thus this is why it is called elevated genre. For example, “Let Me In,” “Children of Men,” “Drive,” “District 9” and “Monster” are elevated genre films whereas “Hostel” and “The Hangover” are not. The script should NOT be exploitative. We still prefer scripts that reveal an interesting world (i.e. we’re not interested in straight “dramas” as it should still be a genre film). The only genres we are not open to are westerns and musicals. We are not open to period pieces unless the script takes place in the near future (such as “Children of Men” or “Moon") or the near past (the 1980s is the furthest back).
 
Budget is open. Both WGA and Non-WGA writers may submit. Only unrepped writers.

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 scripts either currently set in the Middle East or that portray Middle Eastern lead characters with a positive image. In other words, if the script is not set in the Middle East, it should have a lead Middle Eastern character and not reflect poorly of Middle Eastern culture. We are NOT open to horror scripts. The script should not be a hard “R.” In other words, we are not open to scripts that rely on rated-R content, such as explicit sexuality or language. In general, we are open to a variety of genres except horror.
 
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, low-budget, limited-location, Christmas scripts written for a male lead role over the age of 30. The script should NOT have magical elements. In other words, instead of a script about Santa and elves, we are looking for a script that contains some humor and/or romance that occurs during the Christmas holidays. 
 
Budget will not exceed $150,000. Non-WGA writers only may submit.
