Hi Palaash, I've always wanted to make a film in India! What were you thinking?
Hi Philip, I see your old thread has sprung back to life :D Are you still looking? If so, what for?
Hi Philip, nice to know you! This is a post from many years ago, but still I was wondering if you're still looking for short scripts!
If you are, so far I have only one script (which has already got its first award), if you'd like I could email it to you; if interested, let me know :)
