Hi Paul,
I've half a dozen, 2-18 pages, one-two characters, low budget, doable in a couple days each, narrative-driven with varying degrees of 'artiness':
THE THIRD DEGREE - a womaniser tries to get off with Nature herself.
WESTERN APPROACHES - an English 'cowboy' has a showdown with a barmaid.
CONSUMED - two old men flashback as to why they're shackled, amid returning tide.
DEADLY LOVE - two lovers play a deadly game in their house.
MASHUP - A troubled teen tries to reconcile warring parents.
Most are filleted standalone versions of long-form scripts, the intention being festival success gathering interest in the features.
Could send any if you'd like to get in touch direct on barry@desertratfeatures.com

Regards,
FULL MARX - Karl meets Groucho in modern-day Soho.
