Submit a short story. If it's chosen, a real cast is found for it — and every one of them films their own scene alone, on their own phone, without ever meeting the others. Cut together, it becomes a real short film, released on my YouTube channel.
See how it works →Every film here is built entirely out of solo, self-recorded confessionals — cast members talking straight to their own camera, never appearing in the same shot, never in the same room as anyone else in the story. No set. No crew. No budget required from you.
You bring the idea. If it's chosen, I write out exactly what each character needs to say, cast real people to play them, and cut their footage together into a finished short — published under your name as the writer.
A short story idea, the characters in it, and what kind of film it should feel like — comedy, drama, thriller, whatever fits. That's the whole ask.
A casting call goes out for the characters in your story. Real people apply to play them — strangers who'll each shoot their part alone, on their own phone.
Not a full script — a private packet built just for their character: who they are, what to say, and sample lines to work from. Nobody sees anyone else's.
Every confessional comes back to me, gets edited into one film, and goes out publicly on my YouTube channel. Both the writer and every cast member are credited in the video's description.
An example — this isn't a real open submission, just what the shape of one looks like.
"A doctor moves to a small town and starts a new practice looking for patients, but everyone who applies is a flat earther, and he's way in over his head dealing with all of these funny and wild people."
Submit it for free. No camera required, no budget, no crew — just an idea worth casting.
