Writers
need to bring a two page scene that
they wrote. We will put on it's feet
this weekend with actors in attendance and directors. Writers in
attendance will be given first priority on their work but if there are
not enough writers we will go
to the original 2 page scenes that other
participants
have brought. Make
sure you have printed enough copies for ALL the
actors in the scene and the director and 4 other copies. Not going to
be time to go out and get copies made.
Producers,
Writers, Directors Those
with
projects need to bring
a mini pitch and a 5 minute pitch
about your project. The Pitch is what you would present to "money
people" to sell your project; so writers, directors and
producers should
be prepared with a pitch.
