Wishing Well Pictures is looking for completed feature-length drama scripts with extreme magical realism, written with a male lead role in his 20's. By extreme magical realism, we mean situations that involve fantasy-like or supernatural ideas in a hyper-reality, but still grounded in realistic characters or woven seamlessly into our natural world. In other words, Star Wars is not magical realism. Often, magical realism plays with the idea of two realities and how they conflict with each other, or a character with multiple identities or perceptions. We are not looking for sword and sandal fantasies, alien sci-fi or horrors. If you are not sure about magical realism, please ask the writer’s department at InkTip or google the term for definitions/examples of films. The below examples have the extreme magical realism element to it: The Fountain, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Matrix, What Dreams May Come, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Pleasantville. To a lesser extent, other examples that feature elements of magical realism are Fight Club, American Psycho and Adaptation. Also, think films by David Lynch, Terry Gilliam or Charlie Kaufman scripts. We are not looking for straight dramas like Doubt or Revolutionary Road without the magical realism element - it is essential. The premise should be original and thought-provoking, which is difficult to find these days. In other words, we are not looking for a modern spin on an old tale or classic stories, so no detective stories or biopics please.

Budget has yet to be determined. WG and Non-WG writers may submit.
