SCRIPTS WANTED - MINDBENDING THRILLER/MYSTERY/DRAMA
---------------
Cinemonger - Seeking Low-Budget, Mindbending, Indie Sensibility Screenplays
---------------
We are looking for completed feature-length low-budget psychological suspense/thriller/mystery/drama scripts - trippy, mindbending scripts - with reality shifts, mental instability, ticking clock mechanisms. In other words, scripts in the vein of "Donnie Darko," "Birth," "Martha Marcy May Marlene," "Tell No One," etc. Sometimes disturbing, with a foreboding atmosphere of suspense, danger and that the world is not as it seems.
We are NOT interested in straight-up horror scripts, action/thrillers or crime scripts without the story elements mentioned above. In other words, though we like the film "Se7en;" it would not fit the above criteria since it is an edgy, dark mainstream crime film but without the mindbending elements. We are not interested in "traditional" detective or Lifetime-types of thrillers unless they contain the fears, paranoia and story devices of the titles mentioned above. The story can contain metaphysical concerns (such as in "Donnie Darko,"), but the scale should not be of "The Matrix," since this is a lower-budget film. Please look at the above titles to get an indication of the sensibility and taste.
Budget will not exceed $1 million. Both WGA and Non-WGA writers may submit.
Our credits include "Roshambo Apocalypse."

I have a post apocolyptic book currently in the planning stages, but there isn't much of it written yet. I noticed to submit though all you have to do is the one page synopsis and logline you mentioned. How far into the writing do you think they'd expect you to be? I know some publishers want full manuscripts, and some(like scholastic did with the hunger games) will sign you on based on your synopsis and everything you have planned out so far. I'd love to write up a synopsis and submit it but if they would be interested and expect me to have something immediately ready for publication I don't think that would be possible.

Write for yourself and your audience. Get published later, if it works.

I'd have to agree with this.
