Anyone looking to make a short comedy isolation script - I've written one

5 years, 3 months ago - Amy Rich

Hi, I've written a 5-min comedy isolation script which should be easy to make using video conferencing tools. I'm wondering if anyone is looking for a fun little project that I hope will make people laugh? If you'd like to read the script, please let me know. Thank you :) The synopsis is below:

To help get through self isolation and homeschooling, Rita has set up Parents Together Forever: a group of four parents that meets on Zoom once a week. Except Rita can’t find a slot to squeeze it into her busy ‘self care’ schedule, single dad Steve is certain this is all one massive conspiracy, and Claire’s worried she’ll sneeze on the computer screen. Lydia’s just pissed that she has to show up.

Hi Amy. I'm primarily an actor and although I'm not looking for anything at the moment I am looking for a talented comedy Screenwriter to write a very funny Short or, even better, a Pilot for TV. I would be looking for something later in the year when all this has hopefully blown over. My type of humour is an older style, think: Father Ted, Dad's Army. Vicar of Dibley, Allo Allo, etc,etc.
I have made a few in the past and I even took a short to Cannes. I've been on ITV 'Off Their Rockers' and much more. I'm willing to discuss a fee but I am looking for something special and extremely funny without relying on masses of swearing for it's humour. If you write comedy maybe it's could be of interest to you?

Hi Amy - good to see a female writer for a change. Why is that I wonder? Hordes of female novelists but fewer script writers. Anyway I call myself an actor/writer. could I be of any help to you perhaps? Could send samples my stuff if you desire.

Hi there, an excellent idea. I'm a musician/composer ready to begin on a theme tune or sting. You can hear examples on my website www.daylight-robbery.co.uk/music (I recommend the short video playlist but the song playlist is theme oriented too).

Send the script and any other details to me at
