Feature film?

Happy Thursday! Feature films are hotter than ever, and streamers and networks are actively on the lookout for fresh, original ideas. If you've got a story you've been dreaming to tell, this is your moment to get going in 2025! Who here is working on their own feature film script? I’d love to hear! :)

Maurice Vaughan

Happy Thursday, Sydney S! You're right. The time is now to write the script! I'm rewriting two feature scripts. A Holiday Horror and a Horror Action.

Mark Deuce

Thanks, Sydney S. I'm interested in hearing about them.

Jon Shallit

I already have a feature film with all deliverables. Getting a distributor is the problem!

Francisco Castro

I have two features --- a 40-something Asian female-led revenge thriller and a contained horror --- getting serious traction with producers and financiers. The latter feature was an Stage32 OWA Selection!!!

Maurice Vaughan

Congratulations on getting serious traction with producers and financiers and the OWA Selection, Francisco Castro!

Wal Friman

My old teen comedy has a better poster than a script. Not for long. New title will be: CONFIDENCE OVERLORD

Joseph Wanjala

Hello Sydney S!

I hope this message finds you well! I'm excited to share that I'm currently crafting a thrilling new script in the action, adventure, and crime genre titled "Jungle: Race."

Mark your calendar—this captivating story will be available for sale on April 2nd, 2025! If you’re interested, I’d love for you to book it now!

But that’s not all! I can’t wait to reveal more about this exhilarating journey. Let me know if you're ready to dive into the details—I’m eager to share what makes this script so special!

Looking forward to connecting!

Lisa Harrison

Hi again, Sydney! I have two feature scripts — one for a rom com and one for a true life drama. I need a manager. Do you have suggestions? I would love to work with Spencer Robinson and he has read and given me great notes on the rom com. How can I speak to him again about him possibly representing my scripts? And I would also like notes from him on my drama script. Also, the romcom placed as a semifinalist in your romantic comedy competition last year. Can I submit it again this year?

Karen Kinsman

Hello, Sydney! I have a completed feature film script titled, "HELL AT 30 BELOW". A compelling drama based on true events in my past, in the town of Duluth, Minnesota. A town notorious for its cold winters. For more info on my website: www.angelfire.com/film2/kinsman

Me. Horror script

Renata Cortés

I'm currently writing the first draft of a script titled, "The Summers Sisters." A woman escapes her abusive relationship with a vampire and joins a group of vampire hunters to see her dying mother for a final time.

Scott Sawitz

I've got a couple I want to make but missing the sort of cash I need to get r done

Anthony A Miller

I'm finishing my first pure action screenplay that I'm sure has a familiar yet great hook to it and sequel potential.

Jed Power

I have completed this very topical, Thriller script, which I could easily adapt for TV.-- "The Fentanyl War" -- Log Line- "After the U.S. President’s daughters die from fentanyl-laced pills, he oders an invasion of Mexico—thrusting himself and his ex-Navy SEAL Chief of Staff into a battle against cartels, traitors, and global adversaries as the world nears war." Script available on request. jedpower@verizon.net

Kevin Hager

I have an idea for a Disney film, and I hope to work with them soon.

Philip David Lee

I have a screenplay titled THE CURMUDGEON. It's relatable because every family has one in the fold. It's grumpy, amusing, and exciting for being a $1.5M budget action film. I hope you all get to see it.

Amanda Toney

Karen Kinsman - you had me at HELL AT 30 BELOW - does it really get that cold??

Hi Sydney...I've written 2 features and 1 comedic tv pilot -- for me the writing process is about finding identiy usually -- where we belong in the world and how we fit within it and within our own community, people, or family. I mostly write about those things given I came to the US when I was 8 and I am still figuring myself out...oh and thanks for asking;)
