Hello: I'm a screenwriter/director who is looking to partner with a fellow screenwriter (and hopefully avid cinephile like me) on a feature film script I have written. I need to do another draft on the script and think it would be wise to get a fresh set of eyes from a fellow screenwriter to review it and help me restructure it. The film is called "Wild Cherry Tree". Its a road movie about a guy from New Jersey who travels to Ireland to seek out a man who may have been his deceased mother's former lover. Perhaps his biological father. You can think of this as a cross between "Sideways" and "Broken Flowers".
It is also a personal film. My best friend lost his mother to AIDS and traveled to Ireland to spread her ashes. The character in this is also spreading his mother's ashes and coming to grips with his own marital failures.
The script is completed and runs 105 pages. I will be attending two film festivals in January (Rotterdam and Berlin) and pitching the script for potential financing. But, I want to do another draft on it and tighten up some missing pieces and make it stronger before those festivals.
Ideally, I would love to partner with a screenwriter who is not only interested in co-writing this script with me, but also several others that I have lined up. I'm looking for a long-term collaborator and writing partner who wants to work together long-term. I have just started my own production company (at least on paper), with the focus on making feature films in both the US and abroad.
A bit about me: I studied film at the University of Colorado and at NYU. I have made three features previous to this, including a documentary and two mumblecore films, which were more improv-based. "Wild Cherry Tree" is a return to the traditional screenplay structure for me. I'm always of the mindset: seek financing for your films, but if you don't get it, go out and shoot it yourself.
Hope to hear from you and best of luck out there!
It sounds like you know what you’re doing, and it seems you’re among the more productive people on this forum. What could a collaborator bring to the table for you other than an extra pair of eyes?
that's exactly I am looking for - 'extra pair or eyes' to review and restructure the script...
What are your timeframes. I would like to read the script or a few pages to see if there is anything I can bring to the table.
Craig D Griffiths - timeframe is 3 weeks approx. What is your charge for this - you can DM/PM me? This is for my client is USA... What do you need to proceed ?
Dan MaxXx - This is for my client who is in USA. and he is the owner of the screenplay. There are totally 105 pages of screenplay - what are your charges - you can DM/PM me ....
Dan MaxXx - Sorry for the misunderstanding - I am posting this on behalf of my client who is a director/screenwriter. This is the guy: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8688864/
I proofread and edit scripts. Connect with me and I'll be happy to discuss this with you.

Here is a script. If you think I am the type of writer that fits. We should discuss it further.
Thanks
If we contacted your client and explained you were soliciting help for the job they hired you to do, would they be surprised?
Stephen Floyd - no worries, I was asked to search for screenwriters to help Adam review his script.
