Hi all...

Longtime writer, sometime lurker, first time poster here. I've written 10 feature scripts , had several options and one commission, but nothing has made it to the screen - yet.

However, the last 2 years I've just been blocked. Am looking for someone to collaborate with, maybe someone with fresh ideas who just can't get a script rolling. Also I have a few ideas I've kicked around, but just can't get them up & running. I need some help to break the logjam.

I've started posting my scripts here for feedback, or can provide complete scripts as examples of my writing.

I'm most interested in action, thrillers, horror, real genre stuff. I look forward to talking to new people and getting feedback!


13 feature scripts, 2 short subjects. One sale, 4 options. Nothing filmed. Damn.

Currently rewriting another writer's SciFi script for an indie producer in L.A.

Final Draft for PC.

I still have 3 scripts posted at TriggerStreet.com, under the user name mikeprevette. You can also check out their reviews as well.

Mike, Not sure what you are looking for in terms of a collaborator but would be interested in seeing if there is anything that we could knock about. I do not have much writing experience but have a real passion for great movies and am trying to stay on a steep learning curve in scriptwriting. You have got some good experience so at the very least I may learn something and that is never a bad thing.

I am drawn to writing thriller/black comedy/drama pieces, think Fargo I guess and that is where i am aiming (please don't mistake that for me thinking I could write a Fargo - yet).  Anyway see how you get on and if you want to read anything let me know.

Actually if you wanted to help re-write a short I am struggling with I might be interested, a half credit on something is better than a full credit on nothing. I have already had 2 student film groups ask me if they can produce the original but not sure if this is gonna happen as I really feel it needs some work.

Hi Mikeup, Ben here. I really want to get into the industry as a screenwriter. I'm 24 and so far I've only written 3 scripts. Each one I've written is better and better and I'm willing to improve on the next. I'm always coming up with new ideas, most of which fit your genres. A few questions though: Are you looking for an amateur or professional writer? Does it matter where the person lives? I ask this, because I live in England, but I can easily afford to come over to America if you decide to work with me. E-mail me if you'd like to see some examples of my work. I look for forward to (hopefully) working with you.

I have two posted here, a 3rd soon:

http://www.simplyscripts.com/scripts/COLDCHILL3.0.pdf

http://www.simplyscripts.com/scripts/FeralJan08.pdf

Feral is more action/thriller/horror oriented.

Hey Mike. I've read Feral and that was pretty cool. Plenty of violence and gore. Just what I like. Give me another day or so to read Cold Chill. I've just got a new PC and I'm still installing stuff and playing around with it. That and playing Crysis.
