Dear, fellow writer;

To get straight to the point: I need help. With what? Making a movie.

The Details
In early December of 2008, in three days, I wrote out a feature film outline (so approx. 180min run). I've already revised it twice; but only twice. And I've given the outline (along with the character bios and movie resolution) to my school's drama and film teachers. I've yet to recieve any note after three months of waiting.

I've been thinking about going ahead and writing the script. Problem is that I don't exactly know how to write a proper script, and it'll take too long by myself. Plus, this film is full of my ideas and my views of things. I need variety! I need others to revise my work so it fits its norm. Have I gotten through to any of you yet?

What Needs to Be Done
Almost everything needs to be reworked by a group of people. With a group of people, I believe this film will be able to reach its full potential easier than if it were just I working on the project. Character bios need to be more rounded and full, plotline needs to be clear of any plotholes or leaks of information (it's part mystery), characterization needs to be kept throughout, and scriptwriting needs to be done. This is no job for one person. I need many. About four people total. Maybe five?

The world map needs to also be reworked and redrawn with more care and knowledge of the Geographic areas in certain parts of the world. We're going to be building a whole new world off present day (it's based in 2210 AD).

As of now, I'm writing a prequel oneshot to this film. Do you think we'll be able to work off that to create a shortfilm prequel?

Credit?
Of course! If/when this film is turned into a movie, we'll all be credited as writers. That's obvious.

About the Film
First off, it has no title set in stone, yet. I've dubbed it "Extraordinary Seed," but I'm not so sure about that title.

The film is about a young woman (around her early twenties) trying to escape from her dad, Merry-Weather, who's an evil and mad scientist who's lived hundreds of years because of his experiments on mortality and imortality. He takes the lives of young people, and gives their youth/years to himself. At one point, when Cyarocya (the young woman), is in her early twenties, Merry-Weather finds out half of his life was given to Cyarocya when she was born (because he used his own flesh, along with Typhany, a bioroid, to create Cyarocya). He wants his years back.

Merry-Weather attempts to kill Cyarocya and absorb her lifeyears, except she escapes thanks to her mother bioroid (Typhany), and her "uncle," a living computer program named Tybalt. Thus begins the hunt.

Interested? Even in the slightest? Of course there's more (hell, there's a whole movie!), but I'd rather not send out that type of classified information free on the internet. No-sir-ee-bob!

If you're interested, and want to become a part of this project, please commentwith a link, or the actual literature that is your masterpiece. If your work is not on the computer, and is too long to type up, give me just a snippet.

If this is not acceptable, feel free to delete this entry.

Thank you for your time♥

Interested.
Don't have any handy links but here are my credentials:
I wrote the radio theatre comedy/spec fic "Fantastic Fate of Fredric Farnsworth" with Michael McAfee in the 90's. Presently, I am working with co-directors Brian Lillie and Jen Locke on another comedy supernatural which I can't name because the first episode hasn't been made public yet, but is written, filmed, and in post production. I don't know about Jen, but Brian Lillie should show up on google. He's also a musician (five albums) and has already made some short films which might be available for viewing on one of his websites.
If you want another opinion on my work, look up [livejournal.com profile] sdemory. He and I have never formally worked together, but he writes in a similar vein and can give you a second opinion on my street cred as a writer.

Is this an indie movie? Or are you going to attempt to sell the screenplay to be made?

180 minutes if really long if you're writing a spec script, especially if you're an unknown.
