With a strike going on, it's more important than ever to know how/where to look for a script read, as well as who should be reading. Rob & Kay do a very DEEP DIVE into what it takes to get, what avenues provide what results, and whether or not you're even ready to have your script read.
Our Weekly Resource:
Darious Britt,a formerguest of the show, is one of our favoritefilmmakersand YouTubers, but what he does with nearlyevery short film that he releases, including his latest,Behind the Smile, is to make a video detailing a forensic deep dive, behind-the-scenesof the short film, which is chock-a-block full ofinformation on how to make a short film from start-to-finish, so for those of you thinking of making a thing while we’re all on strike, it don’t get much better than Darious to be your guide on making a thing. Besides which, his latest, Behind the Smile is its own narrative deep dive on the subject of depression and anxiety and I related to it hard. I think most of us writers out here would as well.
