Hello Mr. kahler,

Knowing that what Mr. Ellis says is a fact. Solely focusing on Guerrilla Filmmaking now, I have one screenplay called "SQUEEZE" (6 pages--WriterDuet PDF) that fits the bill, and also teaches an important lesson.

Logline: "A young girl who feels victimized by a female bully decides to do a hit to solve matters once and for all."

EXT. BUSHES - SCHOOLYARD - AFTERNOON

Saffron unrolls a blanket and pulls out the rifle. She puts a

bullet in the chamber and slides it into place. She looks

down the scope and adjust the lens.

INSERT POV - RIFLE SCOPE: The Blonde Bully is shoving and

taunting a smaller girl in the middle of a CHEERING crowd.

The cross-hairs center on the bully’s head.

Saffron breathes steadily, she relaxes

INT. DEN - LATER

................................................

TERRY (CONT’D)

What were you thinking? Killing her

won’t make the problem better. Only

worse.

Saffron hangs her head, sad.

TERRY (CONT’D)

Look at me. Life is always going to

squeeze you and it’s going to hurt.

But sweetheart, you have to know

how and when to squeeze back.

Promise me you’ll never take any of

my guns again.

Saffron wipes a tear away, sniffs.

SAFFRON

I promise.

TERRY

I showed you how to control anger.

I should show you how to release it

too.

---------------------------

Saffron extends her hand to help the Blonde Bully up, she

accepts. Saffron squeezes her hand and she is hoisted on her

feet.

POSSIBLE LESSONS LEARNED

Strict Gun control rules will give you a real challenge here.

Balancing what to do with or without permits. Here you need them! In class, discussing permits, bullying and controle of emotions.

Also including nowadays 'polarisation' of society and how it affects the film industry and especially Guerrilla Filmmaking.

If you're interested in reading the whole short screenplay, pm me your email address, and I send it to you.

Best wishes, Rutger

Okay, it’s cool that you are a film teacher helping the next generation of filmmakers but you’ve given us no budget, no clue what you’re looking for? You are at a community college. Find a local writer. Only you know what you have and can physically do - locations, casting, schedule. It is guerrilla filmmaking, so basically you have no insurance or permits; I wouldn’t touch fake or real guns, big props like moving cars, stunts with beginners. And you have to factor in delays, acts of God which messes up every production. I think it would better for your students to learn on the fly, working with a local writer(s) on-set.

I wish I had something short to donate, but I don't. Best of luck!

Thank you all for your wonderful replies and advice! We have decided on a student-written script for this semester, but I may reach out to some of you in the spring semester. Be well!

Dan makes sense. Also there are plenty online shorts available to pick one that's right.

On the other hand, stage32 has a better pool of talent to select one.
