Project: 12-Minute Horror Short Screenplay (Based on Existing Treatment)
I’m looking for an experienced screenwriter to turn my detailed treatment into a 12–15 page horror short screenplay. The tone is psychological, tense, minimal, and character-driven — not gore or slasher. Think Hereditary, The Night House, Coherence, or Other Side of the Box energy.
What I Need
• Expand my treatment into a full screenplay in proper industry format (Final Draft or equivalent).
• Strong pacing, tension, and visual writing that supports atmospheric horror.
• Clean dialogue with intention — no filler, no melodrama.
• 1–2 revision rounds included.
• Final screenplay should be production-ready.
About the Project
• Estimated runtime: ~12 minutes
• Estimated script length: 12–15 pages
• Genre: Psychological horror / reality-bending
• Delivery: PDF + editable file (.fdx preferred)
• I will provide the treatment and tonal references upfront.
Ideal Candidate
• Has written short films before (not just novels or copywriting).
• Has horror writing experience — especially atmospheric or psychological horror.
• Can match a clear visual tone and collaborate closely when needed.
• Delivers clean structure: setup → escalation → payoff → final sting.
Budget
My budget is under $650
Please submit:
• Your rate
• Examples of screenplays you’ve written (horror samples preferred)
• A brief note on your approach
I’m a filmmaker (director/DP) preparing this for production, so I value clarity, efficiency, and strong cinematic writing.
Looking forward to working with someone who understands how to build dread and tension on the page.
