The opposite direction of that is to look out for a new film crew that needs a good script. Here, one point of departure is also the film schools, another the Internet. Craigslists, community classifieds, pages related to short film contests, or blog boards offer a wide range of options. Mostly, it is also possible, and quite effective, to advertise one’s own script on the sites.

Another address is short film contests and related happenings like The Short Film Market of Clermont-Ferrand in France. To mention one more, the Berlinale in Berlin has a Talent Campus that organizes a contest for new coming screenwriters. But these are just two of many.

And still, the actual business of short film scripts is reduced to festival and student project related events like contests. At least that is what it looks like.
