Looking to sharpen your storytelling skills or practice your acting chops? This is your chance to join a vibrant community of creatives at our upcoming online event. We’re bringing screenwriters, filmmakers, and actors together for an engaging group reading of a full-length screenplay or a series of short screenplays, followed by a lively discussion.
In-Depth Exploration:
After the reading, dive into an in-depth discussion where we'll dissect the screenplay's structure, pacing, characters, and dialogue. You'll get the chance to share your insights, learn from others, and uncover what works and what doesn’t. This is a golden opportunity to refine your craft through collaboration and constructive feedback. In order to achieve honest, open discussion, we ask that writers do not speak during the reading or discussion, however they will be given a chance to ask specific questions once the discussion has concluded.
Actors, Practice Your Craft:
This event isn't just for writers. Actors will find a supportive space to practice their reading and acting skills, bringing the scripts to life and adding depth to the discussion. Readers needed - assigned at event!
Network and Grow:
Meet fellow screenwriters, filmmakers, and actors in a supportive environment. Whether you're looking to develop your storytelling or acting, this event offers something for everyone.
Experience Level:
We welcome creatives at all levels. Non-writers are also welcome as we always need readers and value your feedback as well.
Hosted By:
Founder & Director H.Cherdon Bedford and/or Volunteer Reneaux Ruffin is a trained, skilled writer and we are so lucky he will be hosting our Screenplay Read & Reviews in 2024. Thank you Reneaux!
