By: Fade to Black Films

LA based production company with legitimate track record seeking television-type Thrillers. 

Story should be contained to a small handful of locations with the majority taking place at a single location (farm, house, office building, motel, etc).

Main character must be a female who survives at the end. This is a television thriller not a horror movie so no gore or heavy blood, etc. And NO science fiction. Additional guidelines include:

3-Act Structure: Major inciting incident on pages 15-20.

Script Length: 88-95 pages.

Opening: Cold open with a death is preferred but not required.

Pacing: Fast-paced opening (no slow build up in the first 5-15 minutes).

Back story: Minimal; focus on present actions, not past events.

Source Material:

Preferably tied to a real-life news article (1-5% similarity).

Include link/attachment of the news article.

Use minor elements (e.g., name, location, incident).

Ending: Hero must win; villain must be killed or arrested. Justice must prevail.

Scenes: Balance indoor/outdoor and daytime/nighttime settings.

Prohibited Elements:

No suicide.

No gun violence where bullets hit targets (shooting allowed if they miss).

No mental illness

Money cannot be the villain’s primary motivation.

No holiday-centric stories.

Project is fully financed, for 2025 production. Writers / script fee is a line item in the budget and writer will be paid accordingly. Credit and perks to be negotiated in good faith as per standard. 

Please submit Logline, Synopsis. We will request script if interested.
