Even if the project he or she has posted isn’t right for you, if you like the writer’s style or genre you can ask them to write a short or if they have any shorts in their repertoire or portfolio. Read projects by the members in the group and if you like their writing, connect with them. Join these screenwriter groups and see if writers are talking about their latest script.
One option is to do a search on LinkedIn for screenwriting or screenwriters, like the one I have done (see the link below). These days, the IMDb forum is closed, but there are still many forums out there related to movies filmmakers and screenwriting that may help you in your quest for the perfect script. In the past when I’ve had an IMDB-Pro account, I used to hang out in the forum section on and would find the conversations where other industry people would hang out, including screenwriters.

The number one place I send my producing and directing students for short screenplays is a website called.
