Dark Comedy Short Film Script

I’m putting together a short film that leans fully into dark humor, and I need a complete script to bring the idea to life. The finished piece should read fluently onscreen, balance wit with a slightly twisted edge, and be tight enough in pacing for a typical short-film runtime.

I’ll provide a general premise, a couple of key characters, and any production constraints the moment we start, but I’m also open to your creative pitch if you have a killer storyline in mind. What matters most is sharp dialogue, a clear three-act structure, and comedic beats that land without losing the unsettling undertone that makes dark comedy so memorable.

Deliverables
• Final script in industry-standard screenplay format (PDF)
• One-paragraph logline and a brief synopsis for pitching purposes
• A revision pass after initial feedback to lock the draft

Acceptance criteria
• Running length suited to a short film (roughly 8–15 pages)
• Tone stays consistently dark yet funny—think laughs that make an audience slightly uncomfortable
• Characters and plot are original, avoid clichés, and can be filmed on a modest indie budget

If this sounds like your brand of humor, let’s collaborate and get the pages flowing.
