Looking for Short Film Scripts
- Thread starter Angelcyk
- Start date
Something short, simple, 10 pages or less. I already have 3 actors, 1 female and 2 males and I could others to fill in in lighter roles as well. I'm not looking for any special fx or any unreasonable locations. This is a low to no budget project. Lets see what you got

Here's a few titles + loglines to see if anything piques your interest. I generally write for low/no budget with minimal characters, locations and FX.

Along the Roadside
A murderous drifter meets his match along a desolate stretch of rural road.
Blood Money
Grimm's daughter coincidently happens to be in the same bank he's robbing.... Whoops.
Champagne Death Pact
Three men receive a peculiar package from a departed friend.
Crimes of Passion
Life is cheap on this deserted stretch of highway.
Dark Matter
Paddy and McGuire know exactly where to find the loot. Too bad they aren't so sure where to find the booby traps....
Frau Trude
Two children venture to an abandoned cottage and encounter the witch that calls it home.
Rats, Steak and Lobster
The first kill wasn't the worst one for contract killer, Casper.
Rome an' Julia
(Shakespeare adaptation.) Star crossed lovers, gangsta style.
Seasons Feedings
Christmas zombie script.
Sex with Loaded Weapons
A bank robber gets more than he bargained for when his hostage is turned on by his criminal behavior.
The Butcher
Kevin woke up to find he doesn't know where he is, how he got there or who the lady butchering his penis is.

(Poe adaptation.) Revenge is a dish best served with red wine.
The Last Day
The last day of Preston's life starts off with a bang!
The New You
A perfect physical clone is only half the battle.
The Process of Elimination
Being an Assassin-in-Training can be difficult, but it's nowhere near as bad as being the instructor.
'Til Death Do Us Part
The zombies outside are the least of Cali's problems.

I'm a colorist at Universal Studios, but I'm also a published comic book writer with a few spare scripts lying around. If you're still looking for something to shoot, I have a few you might be interested in. Here are the basic pitches:
“LITTLE PRICK” Psychological Thriller / Suspense
Written but never produced for a comic book anthology called “Revenge,” a psychopath kidnaps his childhood dentist and decides to give him a taste of his own scary medicine. Wearing a skin-tight mask that looks like a face screaming in perpetual terror, he shows the dentist first hand what real fear is all about.
“LOVE OF MY LIFE” Relationship Comedy
A story leaning heavy on physical comedy, stunts, and wordless acting. At the very end of a relationship, a man learns the hard way that he’s chosen the wrong mate when they lock their keys in the car, and try to break into their own house.
“TEXT MESSAGING” Coming of Age
This has already been produced as a comic book short story. A young boy begins his very first flirtation with the opposite sex in the middle of a boring class. He has a one-way conversation with the cute girl sitting in front of him by writing words on her back with his index finger.
“WHITE LIES” Coming of Age
Based on a true story, a young girl learns some hard lessons about growing up from her father in this heartwarming tale.
“THE MORE THINGS CHANGE” Western
This has already been produced as a comic book short story. A romantic piece about a man who can’t let go of the memory of his first kiss. Unfortunately he learns the folly of over-romanticizing the past the hard way. A sweet but violent story of lost love.
“LOVIN’ THE COWBOY WAY” Western
Written but never produced for a comic book anthology called “Outlaw Territory,” an atmospheric violent story of rape, and the child who witnessed it.
“KITTY PORN” B-Movie Suspense, Dark Humor
Written but never produced for a comic book anthology called “Monstrology,” a “Tales From the Crypt” styled creepy yarn (with a pinch of camp) about a nasty little man who kidnaps a cat from the girl he’s stalking, only to switch brains with it just to get closer to her. A wicked story about a beautiful unsuspecting woman, the son of a ***** who can’t stop thinking about her, and one very rough tongue.
Some of these are obviously more ambitious to produce than others, a couple of them being ridiculously simple. Let me know if there's anything that seems interesting, and good luck with your project!

What guidelines do you have in mind? I usually write better when I'm reined in and have some kind of constraints.
