TypeFreelance project

I’m developing a feature-length drama that unfolds in a rich, fantastical world and I need a European screenwriter to bring it to life. The core premise, central characters and several key plot points are already mapped out; what’s missing is an evocative, industry-ready screenplay that captures the emotional weight of classic drama while immersing viewers in an original, other-worldly setting.
You’ll be free to expand the lore, refine the story architecture and deepen character arcs, so long as the final script remains grounded in dramatic stakes rather than veering into action-adventure or pure fantasy tropes. Fluency with standard screenplay formatting software—Final Draft or Celtx—is essential so I can move straight into pre-production without conversion headaches.
Deliverables
• Logline and one-paragraph synopsis to confirm the creative direction
• Detailed treatment or beat sheet (3–5 pages)
• Complete first-draft screenplay (100–115 pages, industry format)
• Up to two revision passes incorporating my notes
Acceptance Criteria
• Script delivered as .fdx and PDF, properly formatted to WGA standards
• Strong, character-driven dramatic through-line; fantastical elements serve the drama, not the reverse
• Consistent internal logic for the invented world, avoiding genre clichés
• Clear, production-friendly scene headings and action lines
If you have a portfolio of character-focused fantasy or period pieces, I’d love to review it. Let’s craft a drama that feels timeless, yet wholly original.
