Script Ideas for Short Films - some free, some for sale on Amazon.com and Lulu.com
Blog posts about my script ideas for short films (and also feature length movie screenplays, online video scripts, and TV screenplays). Log lines, location info, casting overviews included in each blog post. Use or adapt the ideas as you like!
These movie ideas are fully formed as short film screenplays, in many different genres–not just the same story over and over.
I’ve published a few short screenplays for free on this site. And 26 of them are collected into a book for anyone who wants to make a low budget short film. Happy filmmaking!
