Hi all! I am looking for someone who can help me write a screenplay based on a recent event of my and my family's life. Although I do write, I have only written for shorts and I know that this story can get major interest if it is written right. I just came back after more than a month from Monaco and France because my brother went missing. To cut the story short, we exhausted our resources and did everything that we could and we were left at a dead end in Nice, France. The main search team - which was myself, my cousin and a friend were discussing our next steps and we were planning to start the search in Italy when we received a text that someone found my brother in Paris. Coincidentally, this person who found him is from our community back in the Philippines. I am originally from the Philippines and it was so amazing that the person who found my brother walking in Paris is the uncle of a cousin's wife. All my brother can remember was he was robbed in Cannes, France and he can't remember a lot after that. He did tell me that this is a compelling story that could expose how France responds to missing people - it was very difficult to get support from them.
This will be a "risk it" project since I cannot pay because my resources went to the search for my brother. This would be more of a collaboration. And if I find a production company who will be willing to film this with us then we will fund raise or get investors for the film.
Thank you and your thoughts are much appreciated.

Thank you, it's amazing how sometimes you specify everything in a post or in a job description and people still ask what is clearly written :)
That's a pretty amazing story, Joyce. Thank goodness your brother is alive and well. Families that stay together, play together. And France is a really nice place in some ways, and not so nice a place in other ways. But that's great that your uncle found your brother alive and well. Best of luck to you and your family, Joyce.
It is written on my post that I cannot pay. I am not sure what is confusing with my post but thanks and good luck!
@Joyce This is a story with a mystery element. What DID happen in that missing space of memory and time? Whoever writes the script, has the option of multiple twists. A true life miracle how he was found. Thank God.
