I already have a clear time-travel concept and major story beats sketched out; now I need a seasoned screenwriter who can expand that raw material into a polished, feature-length script. The film should sit firmly in the sci-fi genre yet keep the focus on serious, thought-provoking themes rather than explosions or slapstick.

We will start with a brief call so I can share my logline, character bios, and the key historical eras we will visit. From there I’m looking for someone who can shape a strong three-act structure, craft authentic dialogue, and weave in the causal loops and paradoxes that make a time-travel narrative intellectually satisfying.

Industry-standard formatting (Final Draft or Celtx) is a must, and I value writers who can cite comparable titles and research real scientific theories for added credibility. I expect at least two revision rounds after the first draft so we can tighten pacing and thematic clarity.

Deliverables
• One-page synopsis
• Detailed scene outline
• First-draft screenplay (approx. 110–120 pages, properly formatted)
• Revised final draft incorporating feedback

If you have samples of serious science-fiction scripts—especially anything dealing with temporal mechanics—please include a link when you respond. Let’s create a smart, emotionally resonant time-travel film together.
