Thank you so much for those questions !
No, I am not targeting a specific age group. But as I've said earlier in the post, I do find it interesting reading novels and short stories written by younger writers ( 15-20, around that age ) because of their frame of mind. And the absence of a lot of boundaries we create in our minds as we get older
While I'm in my starting phase, I'm looking for short stories, possibly novels. This simply because of the length. At this stage I want to start small and build upwards. If everything goes to plan, and people like what I do I will start expanding. Looking for longer and more complex stories.
I've already read a short story in here that really got me interested. Which only would need two actors, and just a few locations.
So to answer that question simply: At this stage I'm looking for a rather short story, a small plot and with a twist or two to it, which will make it interesting for the audience.

I love stories that really dig deep in to the mind of the characters. Always been interested in psychology. Martin Scorsese ( Taxi Driver, Shutter Island ) and Christopher Nolan ( Memento, The Prestige, Inception ) - are two of my biggest influences this far. I love movies where you've got to think as the characters does to understand the story.
From the first time I saw the main character getting killed in a movie, I've embraced story twists, small or big. Just as long as it's not a "disney story" where they lived happily forever after.
Endings that leaves you hanging, and makes you think ( Inception or Shutter Island as two good examples ).
I really enjoy a good action or comedy movie as well, don't get me wrong. But that is what really inspires me.
So to answer that question simply as well: I love psychological stories with a good twist or two. Interesting characters, and not always an ending that explains everything.

I will check into the possible obstacle of the writer being underage.
Hope it doesn't create too much trouble, as here seem to be many bright minds on this site.

Thank you so much. It's always a good thing to imagine your story as a movie, not to limit it. But to make it easier for a director to convert it into a movie, and it will probably also mean that more of the text will be used to create the movie.
I'm simply offering an opportunity to cooperate with someone who's seeing their story / text from another point of view. Which I think will benefit both the director and the writer.
Kind regards
