Hi everyone,

I’m a screenwriter developing a feature film that involves a cybersecurity subplot. I’m looking for someone who would be willing to chat to me about some aspects of the script to ensure accuracy and plausibility.

My work is funded by a small but prestigious grant. At the moment, I can offer a credit on the film, but depending on how things go and the extent of collaboration, there could be eventually be a fee if the project makes it into production.

The genre is paranormal thriller, and the film will have strong themes of death and consciousness. The film is set in Vienna (Austria). I’ll share more details over DM or in conversation.

I’m looking for:

• Someone to brainstorm and validate technical plot points
• Help ensuring the cybersecurity elements are realistic
• General guidance on industry terminology and practices

Have you ever daydreamed about bizarre cyber attack scenarios? Everything that can go wrong, does go wrong, and just a few small errors lead to a clusterfuck nightmare from hell? I wanna hear those!

I’m especially interested in creating a scenario involving either water management systems (SCADA) or some other mass system.

I’m hoping to avoid common tech tropes and create something that respects the field. If you’re interested in contributing your valuable time, please DM me. My time zone is GMT+1 (an hour ahead of London).

Thank you!
