I'm sure you would find any good samaritan to help you here. Are you a director?

You really should tell us something about yourself, Couuuch, if you expect anyone to help you.  You posted a short reply to a script two years ago and now you just pop in here.

We need a little more than that.

Yes. I know I haven't been here in a while. I stepped back from the film making business for a reason I'm not even sure of. A couple of years ago I was into the "jackass" type of videos (can't even call them films). Though I have done a few more "serious" pieces of work that I can show you of course. I have worked by myself with being director, cameraman, and editor but am getting a group of people together for this film I have in mind.

Of course I'm hoping for this to be the best I've done

http://www.myspace.com/COUUUCH is my MySapce is where I have my three "more serious" films that I've done. I mostly just played around with a few techniques to see what I could do with them. I also (as stated in an earlier post), I was director, cameraman, and editor in all of them. (Exception for IRONy).

Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

I think what dogglebe is trying to say is, in order for anyone here will invest their time and talent in the fourm, it might be to your benefit to perhaps give some background, mabey a sample of what it is you want someone to work on with you. Stuff like that.

I am new here so my opinion is not really up there yet, but I would think taking on a script alone with an idea of your own is tough, but asking someone else to do it for you will be hard as hell. at least until some one strikes up a kinship with you and a like mind towards you're goal. Just my thoughts.

With all do respect I'm not asking someone else to write a script for me. In my first post I said "I'm basically looking for someone who can help write the script and get the details in place". I want to work together through hte whole complete process so the film can be great.

I know a lot of people here are overseas, but it'd be even more great if the person helping lived in the area so we could meet up.

What is the short film you had in mind? You can probably find more takers with a genre perhaps.

Couuuch,
I wasn't trying to be disresptful in my eariler post to you. I simply was trying to help give some input to help you appeal to a particular group based on your style, genre and voice to offer to the script.

You want it to be a horror, right?

No gore. right?

No Sci-Fi. right?

From this lets ask a couple of questions on what you do want.

Do you want the serial killer script to be a short? I know in tour first post, you said "I have a short film in mind ". Are you talking about 5 pages, 15 pages, 50 pages. How long is the story you have in mind?

Is your serial killer based on someone in history? Or is it out of your own head?

Do you want it to be satirical, like blood simple. Sick yet funny, or texas chain saw masacre-ish?

Do you want it to low-medium or high budget?

Just a few that poped into my mind. Mabey this can get you and anyone in the forum to come together in the same direction.

I would think there must be someone here to help this aspiring filmmaker with a serial killer film, instead of just giving him a hard time.  He even has his own set of films for you to watch to prove he can make a film (they were amusing Couuuch - though they could do with a little cutting IMHO).  

It seems like a good opportunity to me to strike up a relationship with someone who can film things and if I had the time right now I would help him myself.  So someone help this guy - instead of making SS the place for filmmakers to be roasted - make it the place for filmmakers to find resources.

I have no idea what you are talking about. In the last few minutes, I simply tried to narrow down a few points with regard to the direction he is going with his idea. No where in my last post or the one before went anywhere near a roast towards this person.

I see Michels point as well. Everybody here is simply trying to get a pulse for what this person wants and then direct him in the proper direction.

If this person has an idea in mind, perhaps he should just say it and clear things up a bit.

No disrespect to you or Couuuch, but I think you have over reacted a bit by saying this forum has roasted this person.

Just my opinion.

This filmmaker clearly stated what he wants.  He has an idea and he wants someone to help him script that idea.  Not only that, this person backed up the fact that he can make films by presenting three. He even told us the genre, serial killer.

There is no reason whatsoever that this filmmaker, or any other filmmaker should have to state their idea publicly in order to get help. And very often they won't anyway.  

So instead of giving this filmmaker a hard time by asking twenty questions maybe an offer of help would be more in order.
