Saw this and figured I'd pass it on.

NYC-based film production company seeking to buy the rights to a short film screenplay. Comedy, Drama, Noir, Mystery, and Horror are all welcome!

- No CGI, explosions, or crazy effects.
- Any genre is fine, but it must have some element of comedy in it.
- No WGA offers at the moment, non-union only.

Link.

Cool, thanks. I think I have something perfect for that but God do I hate doing a synopsis. LOL

I can't get the ISAConnect to bill me. BofA card keeps getting rejected. I knew when it did the "Oh we're going to email you" thing I was doomed.

It costs money to send them your script?

Pia, you have to be a paid member of ISA to apply for some listings.

Like Inktip - there's a membership fee of $10 a month.
Some are free links I think, but some paid/member only.

P.S. This particular ad says it will pay $500 for the script.

I forgot about that. I've been a coordinator for them for a couple of years now, so I don't get charged for it.

They do have a lot to offer for $10 a month though... (shameless plug  ;D)

Including 4 free contest entries a year. That's worth the price of admission alone.

Rene, can you get them to go back to the old model where Job listings were available to paid members for a week before they were made truly free, that was much better imho ;-)

Alas, I'm just a local coordinator for the monthly social event that took place before Covid shut it down, but I'll pass your request along!

I'm a free member of ISA - they post these ads to lure you in to become a paid member! - you'll find most same gigs on info-list and Craigs-list for free.

Obviously, as someone who posts writing opportunities up on a semi-regular basis I see a lot of job ads listed, and there's often some crossover between Craigslist, reddit, Infolist, Inktip etc etc... but no one source of info has ALL the same leads...

I used to include the ISA ones in the lists I created, but I stopped when they made them an exclusive part of their paid service... previously you could access them with a free ISA membership, but a week later than paid members. If they ever go back to the old system I'll re-include them in my lists.

I submitted a short weeks ago for the short horror gig. It was never read. Don't misunderstand me - it's not that they did not like the log line, which I notice they sell that service - but it was never even opened.  

My paranoia makes me think that's the scam. Make people think the log line needs work, when in reality, nobody even saw it and order their service. I hate to be this paranoid, but the screenwriting world is filled with shit like that.

I pay for ISA and have done so for a while. So far, I've applied for lots of gigs and not had any responses and entered their free comps but not placed in any of them. So, I'm sure it's just me but it isn't really paying off. I've submitted to this gig already so we'll see.
