- Budgets between $1 million and $20 million all genres that are entertaining and accessible to large audiences domestically and internationally with international profile and sales potential.

The Burnout is a modern day retelling of the retired gunslinger who must strap on his guns one more time. Whitey is a homeless man in New York, but he wasn’t always so. When he learns that former friends are being murdered, he must ‘come out of retirement’ to stop further killing. Before he can do so, he must first defeat the ghosts of his past. note: The Burnout won second place for science fiction at Shriekfest 2004. I look forward to hearing from you. Phil |

Dead and Walking: It's a zombie film about a small group of survivors trying to make it out of a city when a virus has reanimated the recently deceased corpses. As if things couldn't get worse, nature gets in the way when obstacles get in our group's path which slows them down, and everyone begins to get infected one by one, joining the ranks of the undead. Yeah it's another zombie movie, and you can read it if you want to. I just thought it would be good to see if even anyone wanted to make any of my scripts and so I knew I would have to look in here to find someone. http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-horror/m-1136245049/EDIT: Watch out for some minor spelling mistakes and name mix ups Enjoy the script if you feel like readin' it.

The Farm is a supernatural thriller filmed on a single location with only a handful of characters. It is a feature-length that was conceived so as not to break the bank. Logline: A troubled family must unite to save a young niece from the sinister forces that inhabit a snowbound northern farm. Reader reviews, and the script itself, can be found here: http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-horror/m-1114869823/ |

Jagged (click the title to go to the thread) was conceived for a handful of locations and only six characters. It's a teen drama/thriller following what amounts to a nerd with a girl a jock wants. After she is raped, the action is pinned on the nerd, so he must choose to either prove himself innocent, or quietly accept his unwilling fate. I've been told that "it's a f***n' good script with a solid structure, characters, plot points and resolution." The only "shortcoming" being that "the story resembles reality" too much. For something a little more epic, The Fempiror Chronicles is quite good, I'm told. However, it was written with no limits in mind, so it may take some creativity to stay under the budget you've specified. On the other hand, it's a ready-made franchise, with pre-written (and pre-planned as well) sequels. The link is always in my sig. Let me know... |

I have three scripts, the third almost ready to go plus a forth in the making. All are thriller/horror. They can be read here: http://sarapricebooks.com/scriptsI am in the process of editing Last One Standing, so take note that it's a rough draft. Whispers from the Ashes Burned and dumped, bodies of college girls are popping up along the mississippi river. Police suspect a serial killer. Sketchy reports of a man in his forties and a white truck, trickle down through foggy memories. Tara, a freshman, prefers to brush off such news and pal around with her best friend, Katie and a new acquaintance, Paul. That is until a car accident changes her life forever. The bump on her head jostles more than her body. Troubled by dark dreams, they merge into her life and come true. Marked with death, Katie disappears. Tara is on a race to save Katie before she loses her forever. Six Days The Rose Bay Killer has struck again, taking its third victim. News that does not particularly grab Carolyn’s attention, that is until her best friend, Marie, becomes the fourth. Caught by the grief of losing her friend and the lack of police help, she looks to her instincts and investigative experiences to find the answers she is looking for. With her new love interested, Jack, to keep her coming up for air, she plunges into her investigation, not even noticing the Rose Bay Killer is closer than she could have imagined. Excited, Carolyn announces over the phone that she has almost uncovered the identity of the killer. With listening ears, the killer watches and waits, and finds a way to get Carolyn to let him into her sanctuary, her own home. Realizing too late she has let in the person she seeks and fears most, she fights a losing battle to escape. Caught in his trap, she is forced to endure six days at the mercy of a madman who believes love is his motive for killing. He keeps what he takes, forever. Carolyn must face her own dark past and attempt to save her future. Jack, desperate to find Carolyn despite the lack of evidence recruits highschool friend and private detective Nick. Together they hunt down the trail of evidence using other cities with similar victims as cross-references, but this takes time and time is running out. Jack only has six days to find and save Carolyn. Last One Standing Mellissa, a fairly normal college girl with a studio exec for a father, signs up for a reality television show, something her father can't stop her from doing. On the island with twenty other people, the prize is set at 10 million dollars, but there's a catch. Two of the contestants are serial killers and only the last one left alive gets the prize. Fighting for their lives, the contestants band together to face off against the serial killers. They bring down one but there's a problem, they don't know who the other killer is. Standing among them, they fight for their lives and for a way off the island. True character and test of grit shine through as they try to survive against the odds and claim back their lives from the twisted producer who's pulling all the strings. If you are interested please contact me. icerose_of_smiles@hotmail.com Thanks Sara |

Kazzurie, or SirLaasson, forgive my natural skepticism but I thought it strange that an unknown college student would be able to secure multi-million dollar movie budgets so I did some googling and, frankly, you sound like a con artist. I found several 'free domain' websites for your 'projects' and a couple of threads where you were looking for funding and other people accused you of the same thing. http://www.revelationthemovie.tk/http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=7141On one site you mentioned several companies that you own, including 'Third Eye Manga' and 'NowAnimation' Googling for these companies yeilded several more freely made websites with zero content. You're playing with peoples dreams here when you request scripts and promise huge budgets. Maybe you should explain your intentions and back it up with some facts |

I'm out of college now... I like freewebs.com so I start up a lot of websites...
Thats when I got out on my own a year ago now. Third Eye Manga' and 'NowAnimation was started by in 2002 in my art class.
I'm not playing with peoples dreams... I haven't had them sign anything for the scripts... Until I secure funding then I'll get them to sign. Ask Robert have I had him sign anything. |

I think the concern is the process in which you are taking. In your signature, you are suggesting that a $100 million movie is in development for 2009? That's HUGE. Where are the details of the project? Who is funding it? What production company or companies are developing it?
I've got 2 scripts optioned, here's how it went:
1. I queried production companies 2. One was really interested and asked if I would like to option the script with them. 3. We talked, the producer listed all his work and credits. I did some research on the LLC company and so forth. 4. I decided he was legit and signed an option for so-so $$. 5. During the option period, said producer then started his development process. 6. A year later, he is securing the financing and has a top-line casting director securing the talent. This still took a year to develop to this point. 7. Once everything is secure, then I will sign the purchase agreement agreed upon in the option agreement.
I'm surprised at the lack of information on yourself and your production company. Also, I'm really surprised that you have not optioned The Farm. What happens if Robert gets a purchase offer or option offer in the meantime? If you are trying to secure the funding and you lose the script - how will that look on you?
I'm not pointing fingers, just honestly curious.

How are you able to a $100,000,000 film, plus an $80,000,000, plus a $5,000,000 movie, plus a $5 - $25 million dollar movie? If your spending that much money on a movie, is it going to theaters? |

Yeah I got some natural skepticism as well. Straight out of college guy with an estimated 250 million dollars for 4 movies? And actually likes using those freebie websites even with that nice cushioning?
Just curiosity, not trying to degrade you or anything. But if this does go through then I'm sure Bert can retire and move to Hawaii or something. |

I have no idea what this means, but I suspect I agree with it. Please don't turn this board into a bash-Kazzurie-fest. Here is the view from this chair -- I do believe that he is at least putting himself out there and trying to play whatever angles he can. And that's good enough for me, you know? Don't worry that he is going to hurt my delicate little feelings. And in the event that Jupiter does align with Mars -- and we end up seeing an S.S. script up on the big screen -- well, I'll buy the beers, OK? Even for you underage guys if you don't tell. |

I think this thread has run its course. Kazzurie has received enough scripts to keep him busy for now and there's no reason to keep questioning him. Let's just sit back and see what happens.

I took off My epic off my sig it cost to much trouble... It's good to be skeptic... Back when I was started out on my own I talk to alot people asked alot question. If I was a con artist I would have had Robert sign a option purchase and would give me full right to his script. |

It's a well known (apparently not) analogy. Crabs in a bucket: If one is trying to get out of the bucket, climbing up the side, the other clip at it, so it cannot make it out. A bit harsh for this situation if I think about it. |

Quoted from dogglebe I thought you were trying to come up with a new 'sitting under the lava lamp' analogy
|
Nope. Has no one else heard this analogy? I'm not going crazy, I promise. |

Quoted from dogglebe I think this thread has run its course. Kazzurie has received enough scripts to keep him busy for now and there's no reason to keep questioning him. Let's just sit back and see what happens. |
Just to reiterate. It seems a few of you might have missed this the first time around. |

For the record, I've been sitting back on this for awhile. The last thing I want to have happen is for potential producers to drop in and find a board full of bashing skeptics. Why would he ask when people send in scripts? Because people send in scipts to those who have known addresses or who have asked. If Kazzurie is not with a big name company whose address is in the yellow pages, that means he doesn't have a million scripts a day coming to hundreds of readers hoping for a gem in a pile of manure. I read online for new producers, a good place to come for scripts is (can you guess it?) BOARDS LIKE THIS! Yup, sure enough, I've read a couple of things on producing and locating unproduced scripts like this is recommended for new producers looking for something to produce. And why not? Fresh talent. New ideas. The potential to be the guy who brought so-n-so onto the scene.
Frankly, I wish we had more visitors wanting to produce. I've had a marginal amount of luck with these things, which is to be expected, but it has happened. I just wish the skeptics wouldn't be so abrupt and annoy the hell out of these people who (I don't know about you but) I want to have come around. This has been said before by those who are looking to make this a career, but I can handle someone making a big show and then showing nothing. Welcome to the industry of big talk.
If someone drops in an says, "I want your script," I'll say, "Sure, run with it." He can't rip me off because whatever he takes is registered. I have nothing to lose because I don't have people banging down my door wanting my work. And we're not so exclusive that we need to rip every prospective producer of the next S.S. originated film a new hole because he makes an offer.
I wish Bert the best of luck on his, and if this is legit, I hope he finds some potential in my work as well. Okay, I'm putting the soapbox back in the laundry room now... |

Yes, Mr. Wilson, I agree that it is annoying as hell to have a bunch of skeptics on a board when a so called "producer" comes around looking for scripts. If he is an "upstart" like you mentioned, is it possible he could have the budget he claims to have? |

Dammit , Mr. Unicorn -- there must be 800 threads you can bounce around on.
Please go find one of those for playtime, OK?
I am not stupid and I am not naive. And I am giving him the benefit of any doubt, which anyone in my position would be foolish not to do.
Now cut it out. |

Power to you Bert. In all honesty, I think your script is great. But let me add, you go nowhere speaking to me that way. There are around 8000 threads, but i prefer this one. you got a problem with me, you can pm me. besides, would this be the proper place for an argument? Oh and "please go find one of those for playtime, OK?" won't fly with me. I'm not ur b*tch. Neither am I a child. I understand that you're defensive because he likes YOURS- its natural. But don't demean me- and especially on the internet. pft, really manly to talk smack on the internet, isn't it |

I've got no problems with you.
But I don't find it unreasonable to ask you to please refrain from chasing this guy off with comments that are little more than thinly veiled accusations.
Please try to imagine a thread devoted to the production of "Martin Luther King Day", and I had jumped onto that thread making posts such as yours.
Would you appreciate my presence? |

And for this, I am geniunely sorry. I have no intention to stomp on ur parade. I know nothing of your current situation, but sometimes this nose sniffs out more than what's cooking in the kitchen. And yes, I would be pissed if someone stomped on MY parade. But that's the thing, I'm not stomping on YOU. Like I said, your script is great. And it'd be a damn shame if it fell into the wrong hands. |

Just to address the question, I say why not? Some people are natural go-getters when it comes to fund raising and acquiring what's necessary to make a film with contacts and friends and whatever he needs. Just because someone has no credits does not mean he is incapable of pulling together a large enough budget to make something. Everyone has to start somewhere, right? This is like saying that since Bert has had nothing produced, he is incapable of writing a good script. How do you know what he has is any good? You gave it a chance and opened the file. |

Re-reading my last post, it is very accusative, so I apologize. I can assure you I'm not trying to scare off any producer that comes our way, but I think they should be honest about their intentions and if they're going to make outlandish claims, there should be facts to back them up.
If I thought my skeptical comment would have any affect on the chances of someone here getting produced, I would have kept my mouth shut. I simply vocalized what a lot of people were already thinking. |

My short 'Dreams in Dust and Marble' was, at one point, supposed to be produced. The producer dropped the project after someone on these boards slammed him.
Okay, it was me.
But that doesn't mean that everyone should keep doing the same with Kazzurie. Let's just sit back and watch what happens.

That's true, it's nearly impossible to get independent works in progress. Even though "Good Try We Don't Like It" is in production, imdb still won't post the information.

Just checking up on things. I was gonna comment and say i will lock this thread and YOU ALL will loose your oppotunity and so will Kazzurie but since everything was solved and is going fine i'll just pretend it never happened. I mean even if he is a fake (which i do not believe) he is at least saying he is gonna produce your script and all. What's the worst that could happen? He is lying and if he is we just go on with our daily lives like usual. Ya know? And good luck on your projects and again... CONGRATS BERT |
