7 years, 4 months ago - Phil Stainsby
Hello Screenwriters,
I'm new to Shooting People after living abroad for a few years. I'm hoping to meet some collaborators; specifically a Writer for now.
I'm looking for a short script, preferably around five pages and no more than ten. it can be any genre, I'm open to all ideas and I'm also open to a writing collaboration for any ideas still in development.
You can see some of the work I've done here:

If you have anything you'd like to discuss then please send me a direct message, then we can discuss more by email, phone or Skype.
Thank you all, hope to hear from some of you.
Phil

Hi Philip
I watched your showreel and you have my full attention.
Please check these loglines for three potential projects:
1. THE DEVIL YOU KNEW (black comedy, which was 2017 SHORE SCRIPTS' SCREENWRITING CONTEST quarter finalist): A group of satanist go through an existential crisis during a human sacrifice.
2. TALK TO THE HAND (thriller/drama): A mother, her daughter, their lurid past and the barrel of a gun...
3. LIKE FATHER LIKE SON (supernatural/mystery): A dying father's last wish happens to be his son's mortal life.
All of the above short scripts are written and ready for your perusal.
Are you based in London?
Anyway, if you are interested please send me an email to maxsappa1@hotmail.com

Hi Philip,
Welcome to the SP community.
I wanted to make you aware of the Script Pitch part of the site where other members share details of their screenplay ideas. Just go to 'Production' > 'Script Pitch' (https://shootingpeople.org/scriptpitch/). You should also sign up to the Filmmakers, Screenwriters and Script Pitch bulletins if you haven't already.
Good luck with your search!

Hi Philip
Just checked out the clips on your vimeo selection- looks great and some good use/understanding of light in many of them. You can check out my website at www.bobeckhardwriter.co.uk for what I write as not going to pitch as I think collaboration is what you're looking for and I'd rather write a bespoke piece than second guess what it is you're looking for. Feel free to get in touch through SP. Cheers, Bob

Dear Yair,
You made a comment on the post, not a direct message which is what I kindly requested in my post, as I wouldn't discuss a potential project on an open forum.
Apologies to you and anyone else if this wasn't stated specifically enough, but most people interpreted my post as I wanted and sent me direct messages, all of whom I replied to in full.
Best of luck with your 27 short scripts and try to not jump to false assumptions in the future.
Regards
Phil
