Calling all Screenwriters!
Have you got a story to tell?
Getting a script made into a living, breathing piece of cinema can be an intimidating process full of trepidation, stress and uncertainty. We at Niu Studios are wanting to work with script writers who have a passion to tell the story yearning inside of them by using the post-modern concept of crowdfunding.
Sweet and simple.
We are looking for scripts in between 1 - 3 pages long - so about 1 - 3 minutes of screen time with a cast of 2 characters.
No up-front fees. No hidden costs.
Payment for scripts will occur when actors get involved as part of the crowdfunding process - splitting the cost between actors wanting to get content for their showreels. This means you get paid when it gets produced.
Non-exclusive - you retain the rights.
As long as you’re happy with the productions getting made - scripts can be reused for different actors - meaning you can be paid multiple times for the same script at a flat rate of $50 each time - giving you money for your writing that is above the industry standard, as well as credits for being a scriptwriter.. Also, you retain full rights of the script and it means you can withdraw a script from us at anytime (as long as we aren’t currently producing it).
The only criteria we have for scripts is that they should be dialogue driven, give a chance for character development and are showreel friendly (meaning they can stand alone as a micro narrative).
Interested?
If you’re interested, please send your script to info@niustudios.com and we can schedule in a chat with Vee or Danyal - our friendly neighborhood directors.
We look forward to working with you throughout this process and we hope to create something fun and collaborative, while giving your writing a bit of a calling card when you go to pitch to directors, as well as television and film studios.
