Reply to: gigs-rnwww-2110748729@craigslist.org

SCREENWRITERS in New York: be a part of this exciting project to create a web series about Muslim New Yorkers. This is a thoroughly researched, low budget but paid gig.

We are looking for screenwriters to pitch episodes based on the characters in our series bible. In addition, screenwriters will be needed to write and rewrite the scripts, in close collaboration with the director and producers. You will want this writing credit when this project takes off!

This is a serial drama taking place inside a New York mosque, where American muslims find their place in Islam, in New York, and in post-9/11 America. Shooting will take place in June.

Writers with an understanding of Islam is preferred but not necessary.

Email to send a sample of your writing (script of no more than 10 pages) and to request a series bible.
