Imagine your script turning into a movie. [screenplay wanted!]

Hey. :)
I'm a fifteen year old girl (in Canada) looking for a script to somewhat adapt as a movie, as if I was a producer. This is for a sub-project for school in this upcoming year. (Anyone know the Personal Project?) Basically, it's this project that all the grade 10s in my school (and other schools as well) have to embark on for a good 6 months or so from october until april.. We can choose to do our project on absolutely ANYTHING we want - ie, making a cookbook, designing a room, writing a book. I've chosen to do a somewhat wide-ranging but exciting version of a producer's role in basically planning and mock-producing all the different elements of a movie. You can call it a giant storyboard. Basically, I’d be taking the key elements in a movie, and choosing and articulating each part for each scene in a screenplay. For instance, I would decide actors, find locations, choose costumes, research any background information needed for the time period of the script, etc. For each scene, I would plan all the details that make it come together. It's a 6-month project, and I can see myself being quite dedicated to it. (It's only August and I'm looking to you guys already!)
So, I need a script. Any script. I’m open a lot of different ideas, any genre (preferably fiction, I like the idea of working with made-up characters in any kind of environment, time period, setting, etc.), and I figured you guys – this site with a vast variety of aspiring (or already established) authors, screenwriters, or just writers enjoying the monthly activity – could supply me with a script. So yeah, all I’m really asking for is an interesting, hopefully well-written screenplay. (I won’t set my standards too high, haha.) I’d credit it to you from the get-go, and will show you my entire final result, and if you want, its progress during the 6-month period. It’s not official, obviously. But I need your consent, and it’s really not possible to find an un-produced, professional screenplay on the internet for free.
So really, nothing for you to lose. I’d love for you to send me a copy of your screenplay, and I’ll tell you if I’ll consider it! (most likely I will. I’m a sucker for good plots that are well executed.) If you have any questions, or want to send me a script, please send me an email. I have a couple months to find a script, and this post is going in multiple boards on this site (and maybe other sites if I find any).
All you need to do is send an email with an attachment. I do all the work, then 6 months later you can see a fresh pre-production detailed storyboard of your screenplay. Please consider! ;)
And here’s my email. I check it daily, so I’ll get back to you within the day, if I can. :)

RE: Imagine your script turning into a movie.

I haven't quite done a frenzy yet, since I'm new. But I have written a script that is probably about 50 pages. Though it is very violent and is horror so...if you want it just frenzymail me!

I have a question. I'm not exactly understanding on the script transfer thingy :P But, you read a script and do what with it exactly? Sorry, I'm kinda slow today.... I have a finished one, but it's kinda kid-ish, and my current movie script for adults is in the works, so that's not really an option. I can't promise that it's well-written, cause it's only on the first draft, but you can still read it if you want.

If I receive a finished script that you're going to let me use, basically I flesh out the movie-aspects of every scene; I decide on and then scrapbook/create into a powerpoint a basically scene-by-scene storyboard. I'd include things like which actors play which characters, their costumes, the location, any props, etc.

Aha! Well, you could use mine if you'd like :) But it's not beautifully written yet, so just warning you.

You can use mine, a comedy about Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolfman trying to rob a bank. Just let me know.

@frostprincess & irishcelt:
thanks you two, i'd LOVE to check out both of your scripts!
just email anything to emilie26112@hotmail.com (: (this goes for anyone else reading this who's considering sending one in as well!)

I'm still really open to receiving new scripts from anyone who wants to send me one. the project isn't allowed to start until around the beginning- to mid-october anyways so there's plenty of time to get your script in.
