Both the sentences sound OK if you want your interlocutor to send your script (say to the printers), but you need to add the preposition "of" after think. However, if you are the sender and your interlocutor is the recipient, then your sentences aren't correct. I think you can rephrase your sentence as follows:
I can't think of anyone other than/except you to send my script to.
I can't think of sending my first script to anyone other than/except you.
