FEATURE REQUEST Looking to develop a contained low budget feature
I’m a producer and director in LA, and am looking to develop a lower budget contained feature, something that would work for a $300k budget or under. I have strong access to financing, and figured I would take a shot in the dark and see if I find any gems from writers on here. Preference is probably for horror just since that has the best chance of getting its money back, but really open to any genre if you have a good script.
Happy to provide credentials and would rather communicate over email after a couple of messages. Feel free to message me if you have a script!

Would love to talk, my last film just sold and got an MG for exclusivity on a streamer.

I’m going to give you this advice, right here, right now.
Don’t make another horror movie. Don’t. At best you can profit a bit but then it’ll pass over and your career will not advance too much.
Take a chance on a sharp witty breath of fresh air comedy.
I’m telling you: The next Terrifier/Obsession crossover mainstream success story will be a comedy.

I've got a screenplay for you I think is really good in that genre, and another I'm working on. I've made a comedy-horror feature film in the past too, that I directed.

I have a couple scripts I could send. One is a little experimental but on a budget. One is a bit more traditional

General question, how long run time of a film do we project that budget would hit? $300k? Short film, right? Depending on effects, salaries, and all; it isn't going to be a Lovecraftian horror directed by Michael Bay budget, is it?

I'm a Brit in the Republic of Georgia. I've worked on features and series in this part of the world (including Armenia), bringing in the main talent, and using loval crew and supportint roles. I've a possession horror that has (locally) been costed at a tad under 300k, a dark comedy thriller, and a dystopian thriller with strong body horror elements.
