CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Funded Feature Film Seeking Martial Arts-centric Screenplays

The Opportunity:

Experienced producers with secured financing for a low-budget feature film are currently seeking completed screenplays for immediate review and potential optioning. We are looking for a specific story profile for a project aimed at production in the near future.

STORY PROFILE

We are seeking character-driven stories centered on themes of Hope, Redemption, New Life Opportunities, and Growth of Character.

Mandatory Elements:

Protagonist: Asian Teenage Girl (approx. ages 11–13)

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Thriller / Suspense

Key Element: Seeking to include Martial Arts as a component of the narrative or character arc. However, martial arts should not be the dominant theme.

Setting: Open to any global location.

Time Period: "Contemporary/Today" is preferred, but we are open to period pieces if the story is compelling.

Status: The script must be fully written and available. DO NOT SEND YET.  We are not looking for treatments or pitches at this time.

DO NOT SEND A FULL SCRIPT.  At this time, we are only asking for the synopsis (see below)

Good luck and have fun!

Great opportunity, Stephen Marinaccio!

E Langley

Do we send the whole script or what?

Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg

It's a call for "screenplays" - DON'T SEND YOUR FULL SCRIPT. A screenplay is fine, though.

Stephen Marinaccio

Tom: I think your caps lock is broken. Langley: No. Shadow: The call is for a screenplay, but the first step is to send a synopsis. Eventually, we will get... the screenplay. That all said, I appreciate the time you each took to add a comment. Best luck to you on your projects.

E Langley

Thanks, Stevarino. That clears it up.

Richard Buzzell

Martial arts script for an 11-13 year old Asian girl? Yeah, right. Tons of those out there I'm sure.

Jay A Swendris

how about an Old world Ninja hero movie set in 2025 The Last NINJA

Richard Buzzell

Jay - Can the last ninja be played by an Asian teenage girl?
