I'm putting out another call for scripts. Last time I read some great work and in the end we produced Elzabeth H Vu's "Level One" which is currently nearing the end of post production.
With that in mind I realised that none of my Films could be watched by my children so I'm looking to hopefully find two scripts - the first a family friendly movie and secondly a micro budget horror feature - I feel the time is right to leave the confines of shorts behind and make a feature.
I do have one major request, that the horror be more character driven psychological horror rather than a slasher gore fest.
Beyond that I'm looking forward to hopefully reading some more of the great work I've found here.

*EDIT* Proabably should have mentioned this in oringinal post. I'm based in Ireland and feel that the film should be able to be set in Ireland with as few tweaks as possible. Best Oisin
I'd like to read stuff in the 100,000 or less ... I know it seems ridiculous but this will be mostly self funded and therefopre budget obvioulsy needs to be kept low
