Hello!

I am looking to purchase a story, not a script. Like a 3-5 page synopsis.


Details:

Genre: Action/Adventure/Suspense

Location: Dallas, Texas

Visual Effects: I can do quite a bit. Explosions. Chases. Helicopters. Digital Cars. Guns. Gunfire. Destruction. Name it, I will do my best to figure it out. (Let's be realisic, shall we)

Length: 15-20 Minutes

MUST HAVE TWIST AND AN UNPREDICTABLE PLOT!


Hope that's enough detail. I am willing to pay. Once again, I just want a 3-5 page synopsis. Any questions or ideas, PM me. Thanks!
 
Alex,

I saw a picture of you on your website. You're a rather homely chap. Also thought your website was poorly designed. If I were you I'd consider suicide or possibly going on Oprah for a makeover.

Hey thanks. Sorry, but that isn't really what I'm going for. No offense.

Huh? Did you even ask him what it was about? :huh:

I think he's saying to pm him so that he can give YOU a brief synopsis of HIS story, not the other way around... if that's what you thought he meant...
 
I don't have a web site, but I am homely. Some find that my best asset.

To clarify, a synop is (usually) a one page document explaining the story in three acts. There are exceptions. But a five page synop for 15-20 minute film is pretty much giving away the story.

An action movie is never better than its bad guy. Every great action film has a memorable antagonist who - and this is the key - has a deep, personal connection with the hero.

The antagonist has a deep, personal connection with the hero.

It's worthwhile to approach the structure of your script as if it was the antagonist's story. He or she creates the situations and pushes the film forward by seeking goals, and the hero reacts. The hero's story springs out of his or her efforts to resolve the plot created by the bad guy - but this inevitably involves resolving issues along the way that existed before the movie began.



This is some info I got from a book on making action films. It's what an action script needs to be/have.

You have to be careful though, ideally protagonists are not passive and reactive.

Never heard back from you on the updated information on the Synop, so I will assume you will not be using it. I have forwarded that and the script to another filmmaker.

Kindly,

Alex
