Golf Story to Film Script
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I will share a finished, 15-page Word manuscript—an original, ISBN-registered golf tale—and I need it reshaped into a short-film screenplay. The narrative must stay true to its light, whimsical tone in the spirit of P. G. Wodehouse while weaving together three pillars: character-driven vignettes, bite-sized moments of golf history, and clear yet entertaining explanations of key rules.
Expect a moderate rhythm throughout; the viewer should feel neither rushed nor linger too long on any tee box. Think gentle comedic beats that invite a smile, balanced with informative asides that respect seasoned golfers and welcome newcomers alike.
Because the story is already locked, the task is pure adaptation: structure the scenes, sharpen dialogue, insert visual cues, and ensure the script meets industry formatting standards (Final Draft, Celtx, or equivalent). A basic familiarity with golfing terminology will make the work smoother and the jokes land exactly where they should.
Deliverables
• Polished short-film screenplay (≈ 15 pages, standard format)
• One-paragraph logline and brief scene rundown for quick reference
• Final file in PDF and editable format
I retain all rights; a simple NDA may be requested before files are sent. If this blend of humor, history, and fair-way etiquette sounds like your game, I’m ready to tee it up.
