We at Microfilmmaker have approached a number of talented screenwriters to get them to offer their talents to micro-budget filmmakers. By finding screenwriters who are interested in working with low- and no-budget filmmakers, we help remove some of the legwork for some of you filmmakers that would like to make a film of a script you didn't have to write.  We give you the ability to peruse script loglines and synopses just like more famous directors, but without having to wait to become famous to do it!

Provided you contact them ahead of time, each of these screenwriters is willing to allow you to make a movie or short based on their script on a pure deferrment basis. Because so much of a film is based on the script, it's only fair that they make a greater percentage of a potential profit than someone who simply contributes a song, for example.

As such, the agreed upon contract with these screenwriters states that if your film is bought for a profit, they would earn 8% of the profit of the initial purchase, up to $100,000. (That's less than California state sales tax!) If there are royalties after the initial purchase, they would be entitled to 2% of those. If you do not sell the film for a profit, you can sell your film on your site without owing them a penny (until you have sold enough to make a profit, of course).

With said, take a look at some of the scripts we've assembled already.  More will be arriving shortly, so, if you don't find the right fit now, be sure and check back regularly.
