In Reply to: Kev...please help a student director! posted by LD2000 on January 18, 2000 at 00:43:52:
First of all, this post won't really be too helpful, looking to a well-known writer/director is not the best way to go to find an idea or script for a student film.
Now, in relation to that....
Just how much are Kevin's ideas worth? I mean, sure, he could just go around spewing out story ideas for others to make, but it most certainly wouldn't be for free. There has to be some kinda market value on this. At least for a treatment. So that's my question. Say Kevin came up with an idea for a film where a giant taco gets chased through the galaxy by a couple of familiar Jerseyan drug dealers, concluding in a wild sex orgy on uranus. How much would that one line get him? Hundreds, thousands? Think of the possibilities.
Or is this all just rubbish, and i'm a mindless idiot?

: Kevin,
: My name is Jason Jenkins. I am a student at Otterbein College in Columbus, Ohio. I am producing/directing a short film for an independent study into the fil-making process. I need a script! I can't find anything! I can't afford to pay for it and I'm not asking you to write it, but if you have any ideas or stacks of unuseable scripts...I would be forever in your debt. Hell, your films are the reason I chose to do this project. Any help you could offer would be wonderful!
: Thanks
