Hi guys,

I'd like to know if there are any websites that you know of where ppl can share their screenplays as well as ppl who who be willing to lend there 20 to 30 min screenplays to students to be made into a short movie.

I'm studying film and television and have to do a 70 sec micro movie a 5 min and then 20 - 30 min movie. I'm useless at the script writing side of things and would love to show case someone elses work...

Cheers for any help.

Hi Vera,

There are a number of sites that offer free screenplays. Some of them are very interesting while others not so hot.
If you need something unique and not are not in a hurry, try posting a challenge on this website and use the winning script as your play. I'm sure there are lots of people who'd love to see their script come alive!

Hope you are well!

 Hi.  I'm in the middle of a project right now, but, when would you need it by and what restrictions should we be looking at in regards to visual effects, costuming, etc.  Also how many different sets would you have  and where would it be shooting.  I don't want to write something in the mountains only to find out your shooting in the interior plains.  Also how many actors?

Hi David,

Being a student I actually have no budget so location will be anything free, a park, street, house something on those lines I can try to get permission for shops and those sorts of things...

Actors - well the fewer the less problems, the more the more interesting the story line, I think I can handle like up to 6/7.

It's gotta be 30 mins so 30 pages in screenplay script - see IMDB.com for an idea of script writing style (unless you know that already...

Altho I could adapt a story into screen play... 

You might check out Celtx's Project Central (pc.celtx.com/). Celtx is a (very good) free scriptwriting program, and Project Central is where writers can upload their scripts direct from the program for either public or private viewing. Looks like there's quite a few scripts up publicly, and if you ask in the forums I'm sure you'll find someone willing to help out with your project.
