by the way, guys...
... because I sort of stopped posting regularly and let my inbox begin to fill up, I now have over 300 unread script queries to go through. That'll teach me?
BOY: A STORY BASED ON TRUE EVENTS
Clearly the only problem with this one is: I haven't seen Precious.
Log line:
What if everything you knew about Autism, race, conventionality, and homosexuality were lies? What if the very truth that was suppose to set you free drove you insane? BOY: A Story Base On True Events.
genres: coming-of-age, supernatural, psycho-drama
Script Synopsis:
Boy is the story of three very different men who share a commonality... That they actually are separate pieces of the same mind. As the three men talk the truth of the situation is revealed uncovering layers of a single split personality.
Despite the premise this is actually a coming-of-age story with a dark almost supernatural twist. The revelation made at the end of the story ties all factors together into a neat package for the audience to understand without losing or betraying the controversial nature of the script. Think Precious and What's Eating Gilbert Grape meets Big Fish.
Bio:
I am a filmmaker who started off as an actor and then a screenwriter. Upon the death of my brother who was mentally challenged I wrote a novella based on some of our life experiences. The script is very different from the self-published novella yet stays true to the darkness and wonder of some of the concepts presented in the novella. I currently have a viral page of short films and webisodes. If you want to see how my writing translates to the screen this is a very good place to start. All my short films were written by me.
Thank you so much for all your good energy and consideration of this script. All links and contact info is below.
Thank you again,
Nathan Waire (aka Nathan Zen-Sapien)

Killing Time (13th hour)
There is nothing I can say that this incredible and non-disturbing youtube video made by the writer cannot tell you for itself. I encourage you STRONGLY to read this query with its creative use of language and then watch the video below and allow your mind to be uh blown. I know the video says it will be the greatest film of 2010- but you can see in the comments on youtube that the writer has updated us with "GOING TO HOLLYWOOD 2 SELL THE SCRIPT 4 THIS THING. Watch out 4 the greatest film of 2012."
KILIING TIME
GENRE: SCI-FI PSYCOLOGICAL THRILLER
While out shopping for furniture A young man called sorry misteriously comes across a 13 hour clock and pixi glass mirror. On the day that time is changed (g.m.t - b.s.t) the clock and the mirror combine their power and the mirror turns to a door way which leads to the planet of infinity. Sorry enters the mirror where he meets a mistical being called zero who explains the orgin of time and numbers. Zero explains to sorry how the world is consumed with evil and the only solution is to kill time and by doing so kill all living things on earth.

Chromosome 21
Finally: a strong female character who would rather be in jail, sentenced to death than let anyone see her messed up face! The Nic Cages and John Travoltas of the world shouldn't be the only ones getting to do face-surgery-identity-switch-related-roles.
When offered the chance to switch places, Andie Drew, a horribly disfigured inmate on death row, has a decision to make - accept the death she wants by lethal injection or attempt to assume the identity and live the life of her renowned and wealthy plastic surgeon.
Genre: Suspense/Thriller
CHROMOSOME 21 tells the story of Andie Drew who is horrifically deformed in an accident after fleeing the scene of a murder. When she's framed and sentenced to death for the murder, she doesn't care, all she wants is a place to hide, until a plastic surgeon with a 'rehabilitative program' promises to repair her destroyed face in exchange for her death.

Everyman
This script's main character is JOHN SMITH whose draw is that he is entirely lacking character. The title is of course Everyman. I know that sounds entirely too straight forward, but the ironic part is... wait no- no never mind. Wait. I somehow totally missed that this query is apparently describing a comedy (High Concept Comedy, rather). Maybe that's the irony- wait what's irony again? Well- as you know- we all just want a movie with a guy we all can relate to. And originality. Or a remake.
"A corporation makes millions exploiting the uncannily average and blissfully unaware John Smith -- until greed, corruption and government operatives threaten to kill the golden goose."
Genre: High Concept Comedy/Drama
Monolith Megacorp goes to great lengths to secretly obtain the valuable opinions of the unbelievably ordinary John Smith. John's brother-in-law -- naive young businessman Parker Bennett -- risks the blossoming relationship with his executive assistant Valerie by agreeing to lead the unusual surveillance team. Behind Parker's back, executives sabotage John's personal life in a misguided effort to make him even more average. When the government finds out about John's alleged abilities and practically kidnaps him, Parker and his associates must help John hatch an escape plan.
"Everyman", which has been compared to THE TRUMAN SHOW with a side of OFFICE SPACE, recently won 2nd place in both the Story Pros 3rd Annual International Screenplay Contest and the 2009 Movie Deal Screenplay Contest, where it also won the comedy category.

Draculette
If "lesbian vampire" isn't enough to hook you, please scroll to the end for a list of 5 other reasons.
Hello:
What happens when a normal young woman who's just found the perfect man and her first taste of happiness wakes to find that she's been turned into a lesbian vampire?
That idea is what inspired me to write DRACULETTE, an original horror comedy screenplay. Think SCREAM meets THE HUNGER. It's essentially a somewhat humorous take on those old Hammer lesbian vampire films; I take the audience's expectations about what a female vampire should be and turn them on their head.
Logline: Lucy Collins has just found the man of her dreams, but a broken-hearted female vampire named Lillian decides that Lucy will be her new vampire girlfriend, whether she agrees or not.
Genre: Horror Comedy
Synopsis: Life is not treating Lucy Collins kindly. She has few friends, a pill habit, no luck with men, a fashion sense more suited to a bad 80's teen movie, and her dream of becoming a filmmaker just isn't happening. Then she meets Paul Murray at film school, and her life turns around. She finds happiness. Briefly. Lucy has a fight with Paul, and talks jokingly about "giving up men" to a stranger she meets at the park. Unfortunately for Lucy, that stranger is a female vampire named Lillian who's just had her heart broken. Before Lucy can react, Lillian's fangs are buried in her neck. She passes out as a human, and wakes as a vampire.
Lillian has decided that Lucy will be her new vampire girlfriend. Lucy wants nothing to do with Lillian, but when she starts killing her friends, with her blood-lust spinning out of control, she has no choice but to turn to Lillian for help. "But I'm not a lesbian," Lucy says. "You're a female vampire. OF COURSE you're a lesbian. Haven't you ever seen a vampire movie?" Lillian replies.
Lillian's ex, Summer, begins dating an actress named Zooey, famous only for showing her fake breasts in terrible B-movies like JANE STORM, NINJA POLICE. Zooey turns out to be a very bad vampire. When she murders a famous director (Tarantino?) during a carnage-filled rampage at a lavish Hollywood party, which threatens to expose the existence of vampires to the world, Summer knows she has to destroy Zooey. She also wants her old girlfriend, Lillian, back.
As Zooey murders the guests at the Hollywood party, Lucy seizes the opportunity to get Lillian and Summer together again, by calling Lillian to the scene. Lillian arrives just in time to save Summer, by putting a stake through Zooey's big fake breasts, and the former lovers reunite. Lucy finds a bleeding, dying Paul in the pile of bodies. Lucy saves him by feeding him her blood and turning him into a vampire, and they are able to "live" happily forever after.
Here's what you should know about the screenplay, which I would love to send your way:
1) It's scary.
2) It's funny.
3) It features 4 strong female roles.
4) It's 98 pages long.
5) It's polished, sparkling, and ready to go.
