I am an independent producer/director looking for a good script to make into a low budget movie. Sci Fi (space or cerebral) concept but willing to look at anything that is going to be unique. Not looking for action stuff that would cause a need for expensive effects. Sci Fi effects are ok because those are CG effects. No shoot em up please. I am looking for heavy stuff. Feel good concepts are good too. Boy meets Girl. But unique. Been producing shorts and corporate for 30 years. Payment is going to be negotiable but hopefully partly collaborative.

gigs-647613702@craigslist.org : http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/wrg/647613702.html
I am interested in finding a professional freelance editor who currently works at a publishing company or has worked at a major publishing company to read my manuscript. I would prefer this person to live in NYC and also work in fiction and/or mystery, as my novel is fiction and would be considered a thriller/road mystery. I have been published in many newspapers/magazines and currently have an agent. What I am looking for is someone to read my novel and give feedback on the coherence of plot and help with any glaring grammatical mistakes, etc. I am not interested in a full edit - I already know its cool - just a thorough read through from a professional with experience in mysteries and thrillers who loves and enjoys reading. I am considering this a final run through before I submit it to my agent for sale. The novel is 304 pages double spaced and just over 60,000 words. It is a fast read, quick pace, short chapters, very entertaining and on the strange/weird side. Described by one person as Henry Miller meets David Lynch. A pro should spend no more than 4 or 5 hours on reading time. If you are interested, qualified, etc. email me back. Thanks
