Screenwriter Wanted for 2-Minute Fantasy

I’m looking for a creative screenwriter to help develop and write a two-minute standalone short film promoting our library’s tinyFILM Festival, a festival built around one simple challenge: tell a complete story in two minutes or less.
Because of that, the two-minute runtime is not just a restriction—it is part of the point. I want the promotional film itself to demonstrate just how much story, character, humor, and visual imagination can fit into two minutes.
The concept I’ve developed is called The Medieval Arcade: a large, multi-level medieval tavern where fantasy characters play strange medieval versions of arcade games. Imagine the energy of an old-school arcade dropped into a Renaissance Faire/fantasy world—fast, colorful, slightly absurd, and very visual.
Our main characters are the flamboyant Prince of Hearts and his sidekick, Jack of Spades. The basic starting point is simple: the Prince enters the arcade carrying a ridiculous amount of gold, spots a mysterious Grand Prize, and decides he wants it. Naturally, obtaining it turns out to be considerably more complicated than simply buying it.
As he makes his way through the arcade, he encounters its strange inhabitants and attractions: an augmented-reality Wizard, an ethereal patron who cannot successfully drink his mead, a horned bartender, a fantasy hunting game, arcade players whose fighting game is enacted by actual sword fighters, and other bits of controlled chaos.
There is also an idea I would love to explore where patrons throughout the arcade carry medieval-style tablets/slates or enchanted notebooks that function as cameras, and they are creating their own little “tiny films” around the arcade. This could ultimately play into the Prince discovering that his own adventure has become a tiny film.

**However**—and this is important—I want the writer to be creative. These characters, situations, and ideas are the baseline. I am completely open to rearranging them, dropping something that doesn't work, combining ideas, inventing something new, finding a better ending, or taking the premise somewhere I haven't considered. I don't want someone simply converting my notes into screenplay format; I'm looking for someone who sees the concept and thinks, “I know what we can do with this.”
The main requirements are:
- The finished story must work within two minutes or less.
- It needs a genuine beginning, middle, and end, rather than simply being a montage or commercial.
- The Prince/Jack and pursuit of the Grand Prize are my preferred central through-line, but I'm open to creative development of that idea.
- Supporting characters do not all need introductions, dialogue, or individual story arcs. Some may simply be great visual moments as we move through the arcade.
- The tone should be funny, fast, cinematic, fantastical, and visually driven.
- Festival dates/rules do not need to be awkwardly crammed into dialogue. Those can live on our website or potentially appear as signs, props, screens, and visual Easter eggs.
- Any recognizable arcade-game influences should become original fantasy equivalents rather than direct copies of copyrighted games or characters.
- Most importantly, I want the audience to finish the short feeling like they have actually watched a tiny movie—not a two-minute advertisement.
The ideal final reaction is:
“They really told that whole story in two minutes. Maybe I could make one too.”
The initial deliverable would be a beat sheet/story treatment followed by a polished approximately 2-page screenplay, with room for collaboration and revision.
If this strange little world sparks an idea for you, I'd love to hear your take on the premise and what you would do with it, rather than receiving only a generic bid or résumé.
