Budget will be between $1million and $5million. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.
Our credits include "The Sensei" and "Monsterpocalypse."
TO SUBMIT:

3. Copy/Paste this code: dpzx0m6c65
4. You will be submitting a logline and synopsis only.
IMPORTANT: Please ONLY submit your work if it fits what the lead is looking for EXACTLY.
If you aren't sure if your submission fits, please ask InkTip first. Please mention you heard about this from Jeff Gund at INFOLIST.com and please email any questions to:

You're going to get me to take a script class rather than my character class this summer at IA Writer's Festival? Shameful person. It would be fun though to explore new directions and spark my brain cells.
Honestly, isn't marketing a script far more unlikely to meet success than a novel? What is the talk on the west coast?

Yes, you stand a much better chance of marketing a novel than a script no matter where you are.
And a lot of companies want you to have some sort of track record.
You also need, if you're a newbie, to have your script done completely and done perfectly.
Of course with the new script writing programs that's not too hard.
You have to be ready to pitch a couple of other ideas if they don't like the first one if you
get a chance to pitch.

Why do you think this?
Darkshore:
For one. Novels cost a lot less to produce and are therefore much less risky for publishers, than say a feature film.
