Hi everyone, once again apologies for not replying to everyone yet. I've had way more scripts than expected and it's taking me a while to get through them all and reply properly. I promise I will get back to you all at some point! :)

Hi Paul,
I have something you might fancy, in theme it's similar to your Foundation short although concentrates on the guilt more.

It's called 'Regret' and here's a short synopsis: A man is cursed with guilt and shame after an incident where he passively watches on as an innocent man is killed in the street. Afterwards he fantasises about what he might have done, and then what he could have done, and finally the very least he should have done. But in the end he has to live with the fact - he did nothing.

Here's a link to a short I wrote produced by the film council a few years ago: http://www.delfilm.co.uk/touched_by_a_stranger.html

Hello Paul. I have a good idea for a short. I haven't a script as of yet since the idea only popped in there recently, however I do have a two page treatment. Not much of a message I know, but I'm confident the idea is good. Thanks. Email if interested.

9 years, 8 months ago - Paul Burt

Thanks to everyone who has replied and emailed me so far. It's great to see how many good ideas are out there.
Apologies for not getting back to you all sooner, but I'll reply individually over the next few days.

Thanks!

Hi Paul, I recently wrote a short (3-min) script which I'm looking to film. I am an actor and writer, and together with my friend Michelle we run Sonar (http://www.sonarproductions.co.uk). The script was written for the two of us in mind, and we'd love to work collaboratively with someone in order to visualise it. If this sounds at all interesting, do get in touch! My e-mail is nora.silk@icloud.com (I'm also on SP, obviously). Cheers/Nora

Paul! Are you still looking for the right short script? Yeah!? Well, let's cut the crap! I normally write and direct my own stuff and I used to enjoy doing both. However, I finally realised that I am a better writer and I would like to focus on this discipline. Right now, I am looking for a Film and or TV Director like yourself who would like to make a Calling Card (yes two capital Cs) short film. Something that we can send to reputable festivals. This for me is the only way to get noticed and get an agent.

I am not going to tell you what my story is about because the script is only a few pages long and it would be easier to read the script than to explain it. Well, I can only tell you that it's a(n emotional) thriller... it's called 'Talk to the Hand'.

Please do feel free to check some of my previous shorts (Vimeo Links are here below) to get a taste of my writing skills - especially 'Respect 101' and 'Happy Birthday My Dear'. Can I write a story? You will be the judge of it...

Please send me a message if you are interested on maxsappa1@hotmail.com or message me on this forum. BTW - I am based in London.

Hi, I am interested in collaboration too, I have produced quite a few shorts, and written more. I like writing/producing/directing .
I can come in in any capacity and help move a film forward or I am interested in a small fee either up front or when you have funds in place for you to do it yourself.
Please look at
www.luminofilms.co.uk/currentprojects these are mostly features and tv series . I don't put the shorts up but I have about 7 on my slate.
I write drama with a social comment and a twist,
The scripts I have are:
Hidden: A lonely young girl befriends a Syrian refugee girl recently housed in her village. Her parents are thinking of returning as they don't like the village life and the cold to Syria so the girl hides her in her Grampa's house. Naive as to the outcome, they set off a series of catastrophic events. 3 main parts - 5 bit parts- 4 locations
The Innocent One - In a 1960's convent that helps unmarried mothers a young novice, a simple country girl, a novice nun has got pregnant herself. Ready to throw her out she protests innocence as to having sex. Stigmata appear on her hands and she claims a virgin birth and a new born christ. This will bring great riches to the convent but is the girl as simple and innocent as she seems? 5 main cast, possible extras though not necessary, 1 location
Against The Grain - A 30 year old, now a doctor has done everything in life, achieving and conforming to please her wealthy parents. At one of her mothers continual dinner parties to introduce her to a suitable man, she finally announces to shock and horror that she is a lesbian and will be giving up her respectable profession to become ??? Her announcement sets off alarms all round. 5 main cast, 1 location
He Says, She says - Domestic violence against men is not so commonly admitted or talked about. The story is told from two angles of a outwardly loving couple. How she sees events and how He sees events. When He is finally killed we are left to wonder which view is the real one. 2 main cast 4, smaller parts, 2 locations
There are a few more please do contact me on info@luminofilms.co.uk if you want a chat or to read the scripts.

Sorry there a few spelling and typo mistakes above. I do wish Shooting People would:
1. Allow posts to be revised at the touch of a click, like facebook etc
2. Allow posts to be deleted
Am I missing a trick? Is there a way of doing this?
