Write Dark Humor short Script
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a tight, 5–10-minute script for an animated short that combines dark humor with genuine social bite. Think Etgar Keret’s “The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God”: brief, punchy, unsettling, yet ultimately thought-provoking.
Creative frame
• Theme: Dark humor
What I expect
1. A complete screenplay in standard format (slug lines, action, dialogue, and minimal camera notes).
2. Length that plays out to roughly 5–10 minutes when voiced at a natural pace (about 900–1,200 words).
3. A clear three-act arc: setup, escalation, sharp twist or ironic payoff.
4. Humor that feels dark but never gratuitous—satire or social realism underpinning every joke.
How we’ll work
After you skim Keret’s story (link on request) and the reference videos on YouTube/Bilibili, outline your concept in 2–3 sentences so we confirm the direction. Once approved, deliver the full draft; one round of focused revisions should polish it.
If your strongest writing voice thrives on darkly comedic, socially aware storytelling, this should be a perfect fit.
