Feature Film Screenwriter (Remote OK)

Seeking a talented Screenwriter to join our independent production team for an upcoming feature film. We need someone who can hit the ground running, bringing a fresh perspective to a compelling dramatic thriller set against a haunting, isolated landscape. The script will explore themes of psychological suspense and moral ambiguity, with a gritty and intense tone. We're looking for a writer who can craft intricate character arcs and deliver high-stakes tension. This project promises to be a powerful, character-driven story that will resonate deeply with audiences. We're looking for someone to help refine the existing story outline and develop it into a full screenplay. Key responsibilities include collaborating closely with the director and producer on story development, creating engaging dialogue, structuring compelling scenes, and delivering polished script drafts within agreed timelines. Applicants should be senior-level screenwriters with a strong portfolio showcasing experience in feature film, particularly in the drama or thriller genres. A link to your screenwriting reel or samples of completed feature-length scripts is essential. You should be adept at working independently and integrating feedback constructively. This is a paid position, offering $150-300 per day, for approximately 6-8 weeks of work. While our team is based in Sydney, AU, remote work is perfectly acceptable. We anticipate script development to begin around September 15, 2026. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to an ambitious independent production with a passionate team.
