BE CULT

BORN TO

SCRIPTED FOR IMMORTALITY

Each Cult Classic script is a masterclass in controlled chaos. Carefully structured, obsessively edited, and crafted to outlive trends. Every concept is built for relevance and longevity, with story architecture so tight it hums. The plots hit hard, the dialogue cuts deep, and the concepts refuse to die.

These aren’t drafts. They’re detonators. Each film is written to hook fast and hold impact, with a tone that walks the line between brilliant and unhinged, just the way a true cult classic should. Whether it’s a razor-sharp thriller, a genre-busting satire, or a fever-dream character study, what you get is undeniable: a film people can’t stop quoting and won’t forget how it made them feel.

Under strict NDA, you receive a one-of-one script that’s never repurposed, resold, or reused. What you get isn’t just a film. It’s a future legend with our unmistakable spin, designed to own the underground and rise to the surface on its own power.

This catalog is highly selective. Each script is handpicked for its voice, vision, and viral potential. The kind of project actors beg to be in and audiences build Reddit threads around.

We’re not chasing trends. We’re building cult followings. If you're looking for lightning in a bottle with rights in your name, you're in the right vault.

The Yard Sailors

Format: Feature-Length Film

Genre: Character-Driven Comedy / Family Drama / Slice-of-Life Dramedy with Emotional and Satirical Undertones

Tone Keywords: Heartfelt, witty, suburban, cinematic, redemptive, emotionally intelligent

Author: Shanan Melland

Film Logline: When a single mother on the verge of losing her home agrees to host a yard sale with her shopaholic best friend, the event spirals into a weekend of chaos, confession, and unexpected connection revealing that sometimes, the things we sell aren’t what we need to let go of.

Core Themes & DNA: The Yard Sailors is a tender, sharply observed portrait of midlife reinvention and suburban absurdity. It blends humor and heart with a John Hughes–style humanity, following two women whose attempt at a simple weekend yard sale becomes a catalyst for emotional clarity, connection, and the courage to begin again. Equal parts Little Miss Sunshine and The Way Way Back, the film reminds us that even in life’s messiest seasons, community and laughter have a way of bringing us home to ourselves.
