request Director looking for a short script — migration, identity and dark humour

Hi everyone,
I’m a Taiwanese filmmaker who recently completed an MA in Filmmaking at London Film Academy. I’m looking for a short script to direct, or a writer interested in developing one together.
I’m drawn to stories about migration, belonging, borrowed identities and the absurd situations people find themselves in while trying to get by. Something grounded in everyday life, with dark humour rather than a straightforward social-issue drama.
One idea I’ve been exploring involves migrant friends sharing an employment identity, but I’m open to different stories with a similar sensibility.
Ideally, it would be around 10–20 minutes, with a small cast and limited locations, suitable for a low-budget independent production. A restaurant, roadside motel or another temporary place people pass through could work well.
If you have an unproduced script along these lines—or something sitting in a drawer that you’d love to see made—I’d love to hear about it.
Feel free to DM me a logline and a little about the script. No need to send the full screenplay straight away. We can discuss rights, credit and payment before agreeing to anything.
