Contest Brief

I'm in need of a truly creative writer to engage their imagination and create intriguing story sequences for a mystery and family drama. ( Please read this- I have read 41 entries so far, most of them are AI-generated and all of them follow the same pattern involving orphanage, private investigator and a secret caller--- these are all pretty old ideas. Please come up with fresh ideas, if the ideas are fantastic, I am willing to write a great review with 5 stars and willing to pay a little more. ) . Please dont bother to post AI generated entries.

A boy is found(not at the orphanage but at a random place) by a couple when he was 5 years old. The couple legally adopts him. After 20 years the grown up son decides to find his birth parents. The father who knows about this foils all his moves without the son knowing he is involved.
I need you to comeup with 3-4 thrilling sequences where the son is trying to find his birth parents and the father who knows where the birth parents are, keeps them away from the son.

You can imagine and fictionalise all other required details to come up with these sequences. You can write each sequence in a small paragraph(5-6 lines). If you are selected, I will ask you to write detailed scenes.

The writer will have latitude to kindle their creativity within these genres to weave the most engaging story possible. Here's what I am looking for:

- An exceptionally creative mind
- Proven experience with mystery and family drama genres
- Ability to deliver high quality work within a short timeframe
- Availability to begin work immediately

If your strengths align with these needs, please place your bid. Your previous experience with mystery and family dramas will be an advantage. The completion timeframe for this project is ASAP. I look forward to reading your proposals.

    How long (in minutes) should it take the actors to carry out each scenes? What is the expected run time for the movie? Also, is this contest deliverable just the 4 paragraphs, or is it the entire script?

      HI. Thanks for your interest. This is not the entire script. This is only a part of it, important one though. I just need ideas for the content. minutes wise, each scene can be 5-7 mins.

    I have read all the entries(15 so far) and all of them have same format and same sequences and I can tell that they are all AI generated. I dont care if its AI generated but they are not at all interesting. I made it clear that the boy is found so there is no orphanage nor there are any old documents related to him. DNA test can be done only when someone claims to be the birth parents.
    Also, The cat and mouse games between adoptive father and the son are to be very interesting but none of the entries have that. So, if you aim to get a 5 star rating, amazing review and the prize money please write interesting scenes. At this time, I dont need detailed scene, just a small paragraph detailing each sequence.

      I posted my entry before reading these. I'll fix my entry, shorten the pharagraphs, ditch the whole backstory and send it again

    Please don't resort to using ChatGPT. I can use it myself. I started a contest hoping to find a talented FL who can actually come up with some original sequences.
