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)

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.

I would like to submit this screenplay for your consideration and can be contacted as listed below.

Thank you for your time and attention.

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.

The Pair Of Tits That Loves You

Clearly an empowering script for women everywhere. Be the pair of tits that love someone, today!

"The pair tits that love you". The story of an introverted man, burned by love, who is pushed by his closest friends to rejoin life and seek sex and intimacy, he struggles within himself to find the courage to attain his true love. Addressing issues of sex and intimacy on the screen like never before. Promiscuousy versus confidant sexuality, fear of loneliness versus the quest for true love. Friendships, relationships, monogamy and lots of sex. The story portraits the range that intimacy is, across styles, sexes and ages.

The writer of this screenplay is a graduate student of Marital and Family Therapy Counseling. This script is a synthesis of his unique sense of humor with exploration of intimacy challenges couples and individuals are facing every day.

"Will Unmanned" - What would a man do without his balls?

I do hope that the writer intends for "what would a man do without his balls" to be a subtitle- as it would look lovely on screen. This is a comedy men will love: any logline that involves the word "castrate" is generally evidence of a hilarious story!

An over-sexed playboy decides to castrate himself to live an easier life."

Genre: Comedy

Will Govern is a player. He has sex with any willing woman, even when it's a bad idea. His female co-workers are disgusted with him, he has to keep moving from one apartment to another before he gets murdered by a husband of the wives he sleeps with, he has no money or time for anything except his genitals.

Burdened by his sex drive he sees a professional about having his testicles removed. The doctor suggests that Will should try temporary chemical castration before going all the way, and he reluctantly agrees for a trial period before having the operation.

Soon he is faced with a new set of problems - rejection from his male friends, the inability to satisfy women, and his own psychological need for comfort, all driving him to either going back to womanizing, or finding a way to exist without his manhood.

I have written five screenplays and received praise from professional readers on my work.

I'd like to submit this screenplay for your consideration. Contact info below.

Thank you for your time.

JESSE

I am having a hard time getting through the logline- but I see the word "voodooish" used in the summary, so I know it's worth it.

"A shy teenager is tormented by nightmares of her parent's fiery death as her psychopathic brother, who is possessed by a woman their father entombed alive, stalks her for the entities reincarnation."



Title: JESSE
Genre: Thriller/Horror

Part of a revengeful soul of a woman entombed alive takes refuge in the son of one of her murderers, causing him to torch his parents. Years later, he escapes and finishes the entities revenge, then stalks his emotionally tormented sister who's consumed by nightmares of her parent's death. After a bloody rampage he carries his sister off to a voodooish crypt where a voodoo priestess, the grandmother of the murdered woman, reunites her granddaughters split spirit and rejuvenates her mummified remains, but only to their demise. The once possessed is possessed again, and the sister must deal with it before the entities full powers rejuvenate in her brother's body.

Naked Brothers

Even my boss (who gets the same query email I get) liked this one. Who can resist "penetrating visuals"?

Query - "Naked Brothers"

'This story has a wonderful concept, adorable characters, "penetrating" visuals, a strong theme and a sweet message at the end.' so said an American Script Consultant after helping me polish my comedy/drama, 'NAKED BROTHERS'.

A young Adman with money problems, pretends to find two naked, mute brothers abandoned in a forest and believing he knows what women appreciate, promotes them for his own financial gain. (Robert Pattinson as one of the brothers!)

I'm a BBC trained film maker. I've written close to 140 produced TV scripts and 15 screenplays.

I'd be delighted to send you a copy of NAKED BROTHERS for your consideration.

Kind regards,

Ghost In A Bong

Who says being stalked by a serial killer who gets pleasure out of murdering everyone you care about to the point that suicide seems like the only solution, is not the ideal American dream? Jeffrey Ching, that's who.

"Two young lovers' wonderful lives of romance, love and reaching spiritual enlightenment via their bong are put in serious danger when the spirit of a stoner loathing serial killer gets reincarnated in the form of a drug ghost that murders stoners in the form of trippy drug hallucinations whenever they get high."

Think Harold and Kumar Go To Whitecastle meets A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Meet Mary Eipstock: a sweet lovable young girl who enjoys the simple pleasures of life such as watching movies, hanging out with friends, and tripping out on magic mushrooms. Saying that Mary has had a rough life is the biggest understatement in the history of understatements. Being stalked by a serial killer who gets pleasure out of murdering everyone you care about to the point that suicide seems like the only solution, is not the ideal American dream. However, Mary one day meets another pothead named Seth, and together they outsmart and eliminate the serial killer. They fall in love, and life is great for the both of them, but not for long.

Seth, Mary and their circle of friends' ideal bong smoking, brownie eating lives are put in great danger when the serial killer gets reincarnated in the form of a revenge hungry drug ghost; a ghost that murders stoners in the form of trippy drug hallucinations. With the help of a paranormal expert, Seth and Mary attempt to survive and eliminate the evil once and for all. As the body count gets higher and the situation gets more dangerous, can Seth and Mary's love for each other overcome this huge obstacle?

The Embryo Who Came In From The Cold

They sing! They dance! They're embryos without a home! And one of them is ripped!


Logline
Five super embryos escape fertility lab in search for their mother. They don't know she already has a child and they can't stay outside a human body for more than eight hours.

Brief Synopsis
An animated dramedy based on reality and fantasy, accompanied by dreams, songs and dances that follows five frozen embryos in a fertility laboratory that have suddenly found themselves thawing due to technical difficulties. They decide to find their mutual biological mother and discover the reason they never reentered her womb. The story is told both from the embryos and their mother point of view.
Although the embryos are siblings from the same mother, they each have a different sperm donor father and therefore each of the embryos is endowed with super-powers in different areas due to paternal genetic make-up. They aspire to be born and so devise a plan to find their mother in spite of their minute size and the fact that they won't be able to survive for very long outside of a human body. On the way, they have many adventures including meeting with other embryos and all sorts of dangerous situations, both inside and outside of human bodies.
They learn about themselves and each other and learn to love and respect each other, in spite of the knowledge they acquire that there isn’t enough room for them all in their mother's womb. When they do find their mother, they are very surprised to learn that she has a child. Each of the embryos reacts in a different fashion; some are unwilling to abandon their biological mother, while others favor finding a different mother altogether.

THE PAINTING

I've always worried that a painting might territory me!

I recently completed a feature length screenplay THE PAINTING I would like to submit for your consideration. It's a horror movie and can be produced on a low budget.

What happens when a painting begins to behave like humans? It's a painting that moves regenerates and territories the people responsible for taking it from its cache.

When a mother buys this painting at a yard sale at the prodding of her daughter, she has no idea the evil she has in her hands. The mother must somehow get rid of it before it kills them; this becomes the fight of her life.

Once home, the painting begins to terrorize the mother, while her child becomes more attached to it. The mother's dead husband helps to haunt her through the painting. The dwarves on the artwork, who are seeking revenge for the once stolen art, are remorseless in their vengeance.

THE PAINTING is a story of theft, greed, a mother's guilt and a husband returning to haunt his wife. It's about the little people in the painting who haunt the art thief and buyers before they escape back to their own cache.

In writing the PAINTING which is my first screenplay, I have had help from the University of Wisconsin. I'm a member of the Wisconsin Screenwriter's Forum.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Norma D'Aguilar

It's A Popcorn World

Brilliant idea- not the screenplay necessarily- I mean creating more surface area by "popcorning" the world. Are we working on this?

"An inventor plans on expanding the world like a kernel of popcorn, if his dance-clubbing hunchback lawyer can keep him out of jail."

Genre: Comedy

Doctor Ben Masser (45), an absent-minded inventor, seeks to save his home from the government, which is using eminent domain to steal homes. Ben seeks to increase the available land by popping the world like a kernel of popcorn, if his dance-clubbing hunchback lawyer, Igor (30), can keep him out of jail long enough to accomplish his goal.

My scripts have placed well, including five contest wins.

The Script Savvy Screenplay Contest awarded "It's A Popcorn World" an honorable mention and a recommend from their critique.

I would like to submit this screenplay for your consideration and can be contacted as listed below.

Thank you.

A Level of Cool

There aren't enough "Sports Comedies" I say.


After a childhood of being tormented by a bully who is now a major star on a sports competition show, a meek twenty-something man seeks revenge on his former nemesis by getting in better shape and beating him at his own game.

Genre: Sports Comedy

Marcus the bully has stolen every girl Ryan has ever loved -- since they were in kindergarten! And though Ryan grows up looking good, athletic and physically fit, with a good job in a law firm, he still hungers for revenge. When he spots Marcus acting as resident baddie on an American Gladiators-type TV show -- it's the chance he's been waiting for!

He assembles a mismatched group of his fit friends -- who each have their own things to prove -- and they train for the chance to help Ryan defeat Marcus once and for all. Can Ryan go the distance and save not only his manhood, but his dojo and the marriage of his best friend? Or will Marcus engineer the ultimate defeat...before the final match has even been fought?

This script is based on my own experiences with a bully from school -- and my karate training certainly helped me write some knockout fight scenes! We all know what it's like to feel that hunger for payback...and in this script I feel I've come up with a really unique take on what it means to get even.

I would love to send over "A Level Of Cool" for your consideration! Thank you for your time -- I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,

Raef Lawson
