July 17, 2009**
Company A
**
We are looking for pitches for a new television comedy series. The series could be a hour or half-hour format. Although we don’t require that you have a completed pilot script to pitch us, we do ask that you refrain from pitching unless your project is already a well-researched and developed series with a completed bible. We are especially interested in strong characters, a solid story engine and a clear franchise. When pitching, please fill in all the forms below; if we’re interested, we’ll contact you with a release form and a request for the bible.
Budget has yet to be determined. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.
Budget will not exceed $200,000. WG and Non-WG writers may submit.

Company B
**
We are looking for completed feature-length multi-ethnic heist scripts with female leads – i.e. something in the vein of “Ocean’s 11,” except with a female character in the lead role. Please note that we are very particular about these criteria and are not looking for something that can be “easily adapted.” We prefer scripts based on true events.
Budget is open. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.

Company C
**
We are looking for completed feature-length inspirational scripts from preferably, though not exclusively, Canadian writers. Submissions need to be for material that targets a Christian audience, although the stories needn’t necessarily have Christian stories – we’re just looking for a good redemptive story that our audience will identify and not offend a family audience – i.e. no gratuitous sex, excessive violence, etc.
Budget will not exceed $5 million. Union and non-union writers may submit.

Company D
**
We are looking for completed feature-length ultra-low budget, contest-winning scripts with stories that take place in no more than 2 or 3 locations, with no more than 10 actors and little or no VFX. Submissions must be for contemporary material, so please feel free to submit a pitch for thriller, sci-fi, drama, or even high-concept horror stories. We are not interested in western, animation or fantasy stories at this point in time. When submitting, please name the contest your script won. We are also open to first and second place runner-ups. Please do not submit unless your script perfectly matches the criteria above. We are looking for something we can pick up and shoot ASAP, and don’t want to waste time deleting scripts that “could be easily adapted to fit.”
Budget will not exceed $500K. Only non-WGA writers should submit at this point in time.

Company E
**
We are looking for completed feature-length horror scripts with a sci-fi angle – i.e. something in the vein of “Cube.” Please note that we are especially interested in material that takes place in three or fewer locations and involves lots of creative special effects and CGI artistry.
Budget will not exceed $1 million. WGA and non-WGA writers may submit.

Company F
**
We are looking for completed feature-length ultra-low budget, limited-location and limited-character drama scripts centering around family issues. By limited locations and characters, we mean less than 5 locations and 3-5 characters at the most. We are looking for adult characters, so no families with children. In other words, we like stories in the vein of “On Golden Pond,” “Home for the Holidays” and “Revolutionary Road.” We prefer stories with a gay or lesbian character but are open to all that fit the above criteria. We are open to dramedy scripts. However, the script should contain strong dramatic elements and should not be pure comedies. We are not open to rom-coms at this time.
Budget will not exceed $200,000. WG and Non-WG writers may submit.
