CALL FOR SCRIPTS
Would you love to see your ideas put on film?! Here's your chance. We want your scripts!
We are looking for talented writers who would like to see
their work produced and shown on our site and elsewhere. Here are the guidelines:
- Films may be any genre, but generally short, low-budget works that are for mainstream audiences will be given more attention (no multi-million dollar special effects or porn).
- If you submit a long script, we will only be able to create a small portion of it, but go ahead and send us whatever you’ve got!
Think you got what it takes? If so, send your script(s) and/or questions to scripts@tersefilms.com. If we are interested in your story, we will contact you to get further information.
FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Why should I submit my script?
A. We could turn it into a film! It can help you as a writer to get your name out there (your name appears in the beginning of the film and in the credits) and build up your portfolio! We can provide you a hard copy and put it online to share with others. You can show it wherever you want and then add a film credit to your accomplishments!
Q. How are my rights to the script protected?
A. Don’t worry—you maintain the rights to your original script! We receive many scripts. If we like yours, we will contact you and ask you to grant us the right to make a short film from it and promote & distribute it. In return, we promote your script, your name, and provide you with a piece to show others! Because you still own the rights to your original script, if a big Hollywood producer wants to make a big Hollywood film from the short, they can go directly to you to do so!
