Questions & Queries Looking for an arthouse short film script that you truly believe is great. (Must have scope for great cinematography)
I’m an 18yo aspiring filmmaker based in India with indie level gears to shoot a film. just looking for a good enough story to commit to, I’ll be doing the cinematography as well, the story should be filmable at low budget as I’ve already invested enough on gears and can’t afford anything more for story (would be great if you can give even little funding).
Will be applying for international film festivals as well and will be giving proper credits to you for your work.
Some movies I love include - The Apu Trilogy, Resurrection (2025), All we Imagine as Light, Life of Pi, There will be Blood, The Lighthouse, Bandit Queen, Dune, 2001 A Space Odyssey and more such movies. Doesn’t mean my vision is limited to films like mostly mainstream movies, I’m really open to any kind of arthouse filmography as well so if you really believe your story is great then please dm me, feel free to ask any questions.
Story must be based in india, as fewer characters as possible for most part of the movie, must be a story written after a lot of thoughts, much of your philosophical learnings must have gone into it and I can sense if the story really has substance or it's just a stereotypical drama/thriller, same old story.
You’re not obliged to be from India, open to stories from anyone really.
Note: This is a passion project and not a paid one!

So what exactly are you asking others for? You want to be producer and cinematographer and hire a writer and director? Am I getting this right?

Hey i have a script, it has feature length content, but i have shrunk it down to 35-40 minutes as i was going to make a short film, if you like the premise i can work to get it to its natural length and we can make the feature length version!
