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.

"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.
