An ISA Pro is looking for a writer to revise their next project, a feature blending the thriller and drama genres. The narrative is built around a diverse, all-female cast. Set in a psychiatric ward, this is a contained, dialogue-driven piece.
The ideal candidate can blend together two existing drafts while incorporating fresh ideas. The Pro is eager to find writers skilled in crafting authentic characters that can drive a dialogue-driven narrative. Chicago-based writers are preferred for meeting in person, but they are open to working together in an online space.
For more information on this Pro, applicants can learn about their recent feature, Wrong Numbers, which they wrote and produced.
Key comps include Girl, Interrupted, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Virgin Suicides, Thirteen, and Black Sawn.

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:
A distinct main character that promises a strong emotional arc.
A clear concept and insight into how it will develop in the second act.
An understanding of how your unique character and clever concept are synergizing with one another.
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.
A variety of feedback forms can be found via our Script Notes Services.
