We are looking for a completed, feature length dark drama or gritty
thriller scripts which involve a hardened male character (24-28
preferred but not required) who interacts with a young, "weird and
independent but interesting and bright" 11-13 year old female
character, i.e. something in the vein of "The Professional," "Sling
Blade," "Taxi Driver," or "City of Lost Children." The male character
in the story should have enough moral sense to not hurt the child,
and should learn something from the kid as the story unfolds, perhaps
even becoming a mentor to, and then later becoming mentored by the
child character. We especially favor stories where the communication
between the main characters takes place more through body language
than dialogue, such that the acting is more in the eyes and less in
the conversation. And we're especially interested in a hard, gritty,
dark role for the female character. Budget for this project will not
exceed $1.5 million. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.
