Casting: Working Title (Feature)

This film idea was birthed in my mind back in 2022 when I was 22 years old. Now, 3 years later, I'm fully committed to taking the steps towards getting this film to the big screen. First and foremost, I'm looking for a co-writer, preferably someone who has written a drama/thriller feature film before. I have an outline, treatment, and brief/loose screenplay draft all typed and done. The film's main antagonist is a man that has been taking and murdering young women. He is heavily inspired by Buffalo Bill from "The Silence of The Lambs." Depeche Mode is the backbone of the soundtrack and is almost a character that pushes the story forward. I don't want to give too many details in this description, but the film is dread heavy; neon soaked dread with heavy 80s/90s undertones. Buffalo Bill meets "Prisoners" with the teeniest tiniest sprinkle of "longlegs" (obviously excluding the paranormal aspect). the core characters: the kidnapper/murderer, the girl who is taken and survives, the detective on the case, and the 6 song soundtrack. A hard R rating (no nudity/sexual activity) once the final draft is written and polished, we will develop a strong pitch deck, and pitch the film to multiple producers/studios. I'm going to need a partner that is not afraid to network, sell the idea, and push without being overbearing.
