Screenwriting articles from lesson videos
I need a writer to help review videos of my online lessons teaching screenwriting and pull out the main points and collate and order them into thematic notes so that I can then turn the lessons into book chapters and ultimately a book. I can also provide a transcript, though it may be of patchy quality in places. I can explain more about the style of teaching, which for someone who likes high quality, intelligent movies will be very exciting and engaging. The lessons are currently once a week, but that volume may increase.

Scriptwriter for Action Adventure feature film
I have just finished the project brief for an Action-Adventure / Drama, Fantasy, Romance feature film. This is for a small budget British countryside based 90 minutes film with mainstream commercial cinema attributes. This will be my first feature film and I am looking for an up and coming writer or a new graduate who'd be willing to work alongside me developing the story and writing the screenplay and then we can hire a more experienced writer as a script consultant or supervisor to look over. The project is self-funded. Many would feel this is unachievable but I have a strong team to back me up and make my vision come to life. I'd like to meet up with the writer first to explain everything properly as I find it very difficult to narrate a story without using the body language or the appropriate tone on Zoom. Then over a series of weekly video calls or meetings, I'd like to keep track of the project and work together to achieve the desired outcome. We'd be adhering to all rules and regulations related to Covid. Also, my experience in the industry will be a good influence on the writer who is starting out in the industry. Preferably, a graduate with a degree in screenwriting or similar qualifications or experience is ideal. I am also happy to hear from more experienced writers who are willing to commit more time and effort on the project. This will be something exciting and I am intending to cast at least one known name aiming to distribute through a popular online streaming giant. Stakes are high and the challenge is massive, but it all starts with a good piece of writing. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you

SCREENWRITER/SCRIPTWRITER/GHOST WRITER for Hair Commercial
Fleeka Styles is a black owned business that engages in the manufacture and sale of Hair and Beauty products. We are currently going through an exciting period of growth and we are looking to expand even further by relaunching the brand. As you can imagine this is a massive undertaking. So we have put together a very formidable team: • 8 gorgeous models • makeup will be provided by the incredible Matchuela (@mkm_ox) and Kye (@kyesfaces22) • our videographer is the illustrious Joshua (@theonlyjms) founder of FirstMedia (@firstmediatv) • our photographers are the amazing Katherine (@katherineelizabethp) and Coral (@camera.papi) • styling will be overseen by the very fashionable Margaret (@cairostyles) and Rebecca (@she_whoconceals) • and hair will of course be provided by ourselves (@fleekastyles) The only thing we are missing is a script. Job description The shoot is scheduled for the 20th August 2020 at DollHouse VIP (https://www.instagram.com/dollhousevip/). As far as venues go this is a very interactive set and will aid in capturing some pretty cool shots, however, we do not want this to take away from the fact that this is a hair ad. As it currently stands we are leaning more towards a silent film with very little dialogue, but we are open to all ideas. The ad must be fun and upbeat. Think 50 shades of pink – 8 girls having a fabulous time at this new club “Haus of Fleeka Styles”. Shots of the new products being utilised. E.g. a shot of 2 girls in a bathroom brushing the others hair. A lot of focus on the hair in the way of hair flicks and twirls. We want to exude this idea of luxury – but a luxury lifestyle only attainable by buying and utilising Fleeka Styles products. We want something that is really aesthetically pleasing. Think Pretty Little Thing, House of CB and BooHoo campaigns. We hope this helps. Kind Regards Fleeka Styles Team
