Screenwriter – Star Wars Fan Film Job at Stage 32, LLC in Charlotte

Screenwriter – star wars fan film - a job post by Courtney Smith

I am seeking ascreenwriterto help bringShadows of the Past, a Star Wars-inspired short film, to life. This is a 10-minute, character-driven fan film set in the Outer Rim and centered around four strangers who discover a Sith artifact buried in the forest. What begins as chance turns into a tense psychological standoff where only one walks away.

Tone is dramatic and suspenseful—thinkThe Hateful EightmeetsAndor.

About the Role:
You’ll work directly with the director/producer to develop a complete 8–10 page script based on an existing logline, synopsis, and character breakdowns. I'm looking for someone who can create strong, layered dialogue and build tension within a confined, single-location story.

Ideal Candidate:

Strong grasp of story structure, pacing, and cinematic dialogue

Experience writing short film scripts (please include samples)

Passionate about Star Wars (deep lore knowledge a plus!)

Able to work independently, take feedback, and meet quick turnaround deadlines

Bonus if you’re comfortable with minimal exposition and strong visual storytelling

Logline:
On a remote fringe world, a former Jedi, a bounty hunter, a drifter, and a curious young mechanic uncover a buried Sith artifact—unleashing paranoia, buried secrets, and the lure of darkness; as trust shatters, only one will survive the night.
