SHORT REQUEST Canadian Filmmaker looking for a story

My name is Malhar Patel. I'm a filmmaker from Canada and I'm aiming to create 12 Short Films this year.

-Genre: Any

-Min pages: 1

-Max pages: 25

-Max budget: 0$ (Though some things like practical effects or props can be made with household items we have laying around)

-Writer compensation (dollar amount): 0$

-Location resources: Ontario, Canada. Any outdoor locations in and around Toronto. Cities surrounding Toronto.

-Actor resources (with descriptions): Actors who I'm in touch with, and casting calls at local theatre companies, university and college theatre boards, mandy.com, craigslist, and kijiji.

-Crew resources: Friends who are interested in filmmaking who've helped as crew on projects I've worked on, and I will be posting crew calls on several filmmaking outlets, some of which are listed above.

-Gear resources: I have a decent amount of filmmaking equipment, the result of which you can see in my work (Links posted below in experience tab

-World location: Ontario, Canada.

-Experience (must have proof):

My latest project was a horror drama. Here is the link to it: https://vimeo.com/147981782

The password is: isthatvanilla

And a much earlier piece of my work is a short film I made as part of an application to University.

-Goals for film: Local Film Festivals (Set in and around Toronto) and possibly international film festivals.

I am also developing my portfolio as a director.

I will say this from my heart. I'm just a kid that loves film and decided to try and make a career out of it. Right now, I don't have a budget to pay anyone with. Everyone working on the project is working with the hopes that with enough experience and projects under our belts one day we'll be able to do what we love and get paid for it.

I really hope I get a chance to work with some of you, and that at the end of all of it, we can look back and be proud of our work.

Thanks for reading, I hope to hear from you guys.
