Writer Needed.

N/A (Union & Non-Union)

Writers wanted for a possible collaboration.
I consider myself as an upcoming writer & directer. I've worked with people such as Michael Honablue & Tammy Riley Smith.
I'm looking for a writer that shares my passion for telling stories. Somebody who is far more concerned about getting their material made and their name known they than are at making money.
No doubt if we create something spectacular the money will come but at the moment I am looking for another writer to work on a collaborative piece with me. I have ideas of my own but I also want to hear your ideas too.

I am looking for some short 2-3 page scripts for the "Minutes to Live" project. If the script is chosen for production it will be produced and posted on the project's YouTube channel and blog. There is no pay but you of course get credit and online exposure.
The concept is that a newscaster has just informed the world they have only minutes to live. We hear "You have only minutes. Grab your loved ones. Take shelter. Pray." And then the rest of the video shows a character/group reacting to the news.
