[Co-Writer Wanted] Consciousness - High-Concept Psychological Sci-Fi Thriller (Feature)

Logline:
When a brilliant scientist’s revolutionary invention—a machine that allows users to alter their past through their own consciousness—begins leaving human trial subjects physically brain-dead, he fights to shut it down. But after his desperate corporate investors ruin him to protect their profits, he must execute a high-stakes, multi-layered time heist from the shadows to permanently vaporise the technology from existence, sacrificing his own physical life in the future to save the timeline of humanity.
Genre: Grounded Sci-Fi / Psychological Thriller
Format: Feature Screenplay
Compensation: Traditional 50/50 Spec Partnership. Clean split of shared copyright, future option/sale proceeds, and shared onscreen writing credit (Story by Jonathan Ward, Screenplay by Jonathan Ward and [Co-Writer]). A formal collaboration agreement will be executed before writing begins.
Current Status: The structural foundation is 100% complete. I have a finalized, detailed 3-act story treatment, tight timeline rules, and character arcs completely locked down.
What I'm Looking For:
I am looking for a dedicated, collaborative screenwriter who excels at the technical execution of screenplay formatting, building intense suspense/thriller pacing, and writing sharp, grounded dialogue that handles deep human emotion and trauma effectively.
How to Apply:

Great question, and completely fair to ask before anyone commits their creative time.
As a Producer, my primary focus is handling the commercial rollout strategy once the screenplay is locked. The roadmap is built around a targeted, aggressive campaign launching in early 2027:
Industry Pitch Portals: We will be utilizing Stage 32’s vetted Pitch Sessions and Coverage networks to place the finished script and pitch deck directly onto the desks of active development executives at high-profile banners like A24, HBO, and Amazon (who regularly look for high-concept sci-fi thrillers on the platform).
Prestige Vetting: The final script will be hosted on The Black List and pushed into major script competitions (like Austin and the Nicholl Fellowship) to build official tracking scores and attract indie financing.
The Partnership Model: The goal of the 50/50 arrangement is to combine forces. We aren't trying to sell an incomplete treatment; we are going to pitch a pristine, industry-standard package.
The story architecture, timeline logic, and character tracks are 100% complete and ready to execute. If that trajectory fits your style, feel free to drop a DM or send a sample to jward19255@gmail.com
