An ISA Verified Pro is looking for rom-coms that subvert expectations and bring fresh takes to classic tropes. Think Crazy Rich Asians or Anora, where the story delivers humor and heart but with an innovative or unexpected twist that keeps audiences guessing.

The IP is particularly interested in romantic comedies with a unique angle on the traditional meet-cute, culture-clash dynamics, or unconventional setups.

The ideal writer can blend humor, warmth, and unexpected narrative turns. They have the ability to take traditional rom-com elements and turn them into something unpredictable yet familiar.

Comps include Crazy Rich Asians, Anora, An Education, and To All the Boys I've Loved Before

Union and non-union writers are accepted. Scripts from anywhere in the world will be considered but must be English language. Please submit a logline, synopsis, and a screenplay.

Want to have more success with Gigs? Here are some tips from our ISA Executives:

Successful loglines can convey a great deal of information in only one or two sentences. This includes:
1. A distinct main character that promises a strong emotional arc.
2. A clear concept and insight into how it will develop in the second act.
3. An understanding of how your unique character and clever concept are synergizing with one another.
4. An implicit tone for the project overall.

If you are struggling to encapsulate these elements into a concise logline, then we recommend submitting your project for an ISA Logline Review.

Ordering other forms of ISA Feedback can help your screenplay succeed in the highly competitive Writing Gigs environment. A writer with a track record of steadily seeking out notes and improving their portfolio is highly appealing to industry professionals.
