AFRICAN–AMERICAN HORROR AND/OR SCI-FI SCRIPTS
Cinemation is looking for completed feature-length HORROR or SCI-FI scripts that feature black protagonists and lead characters. On the horror side, we are looking for films in the vein of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) or Cannibal Holocaust (1980). On the sci-fi side, we are looking for stories in the vein of Octavia Butler's books and Star Trek.
Feel free to submit any finished scripts that also mix-genres (i.e. horror w/sci-fi; horror w/comedy, etc.)
We want strong central characters who have lots of BACKSTORY and DEPTH, while at the same time, your script should be highly entertaining and a big CROWD PLEASER. We are looking for the horror and sci-fi genre specifically because they rarely feature African-American characters in lead roles. We want to see what would REALLY happen if these characters found themselves in a precarious situation.
Budget will not exceed $250K. IMPORTANT: Please ONLY submit your work if it fits the description above EXACTLY.
TO SUBMIT:
Be sure to mention you heard about this from Jeff Gund at INFOLIST.com for priority consideration, an email ALL the information requested below to:
submissions@cinemation.net
Be sure to include:
1. Your name (first and last)
2. Contact phone number
3. Logline and Synopsis ONLY.
4. ONE paragraph about yourself
