Searching for a Short Script

Everyone, I'm searching for a script for a short film, and I'll go into detail a little later. As of right now, even though I have what, 9 posts, those of you who care about that sort of stuff are annoying. Just listen to me and assume I know what I'm talking about.

I'm in need of a script that will be shot on color film, 16mm.

The film will be a total of six minutes in length.

It will be non-sync, but it is not limited to:
Sound effects, Music, Voiceovers, Ambient sound, etc.

It must be interesting and incorporate any of these things:
-Action (Anything, really. Go wild with action, I'd love it)
-Comedy (slapstick, anything other than verbal, as it is non-sync)
-A message. Every short film should leave the viewer with something to think about, as well as keeping them interested.

Listen, I know I sound like a jackass just requesting a script, but:

As it will be filmed on 16mm, it will be of professional quality, and a good way to showcase your talent as well as mine.

I will absolutely send you a copy of the finished product (DVD, most likely) in addition to all screenplay credit belonging to you. Your name will be in the credits and will not be left out of anything related to the short.

You get several prizes (other than a copy of the master):
Working with the wonderful me. We can work on a script and hopefully get this thing out there, on the web, on a podcast, whatever.

If your script is chosen, along with whatever the final short comes with (DVD, maybe a shirt), you'll get $50. Wonderful.

Hopefully this could be kind of a contest, even though the payoff isn't great. The main chance is to get talent out there and maybe get noticed for something.
Hopefully you read this far.
 
Hey Zach.
I just wrote one but it's longer than what you're looking for. If you have an idea of something, let me know. I wrote mine in two days. I could probably have a good one for you in a week.

If you're interested, let me know.
 
Right. Well then. I'm interested and open to anything. Thanks for posting. I'd love to see your stuff, Carcaridon, and to elvworks, remember, it's non-sync so no voice acting. However, you could make use of voiceover and effects to achieve a sort of storyteller comedy. Carcaridon, I'm intruigued, and I'd like to see the script you have made, and if you are interested in working on this, I'd love to see a script in around a week.
 
Hi Zach,

Sorry about the voice acting, my apologies. I can appreciate you're looking for the right script. I've read your guidelines for what you want so I'll keep an eye out for ideas.

All the best,
Rick

I think it's great you're looking for material at this site.

Might I suggest you also include a bio of yourself, and perhaps some clips or short films you've done in the past?

Also, inktip.com has lots and lots of short films for sale. I guess it wouldn't hurt to put out a shout over at www.scriptsales.com forum either, as they are all writers.

wooops, Zach, am i too late for this?

I got a five minute script, comedy, no dialogue at all, and requires only three actors and about four extras. It's about a landlord who has to pick rent from a bad tenant at the end of the month.

Oh man, if I aint so late, maybe you can tell me how to contact you?
