Want a Table Read?

Good day, Rouge Wavers - I have a huge opportunity for Rouge Wavers who live in the Los Angeles area (or not, read on).

Gabriel Gonsalves an actor, director, Rouge Waver and Script Whisperer friend is looking for a 3-5 page scene for use in the FILMMAKER'S INTENSIVE (July 5-29th), taught by Joan Scheckel.

The Filmmakers Intensive is a month long workshop for professionals who wish to deepen and expand their abilities to work with actors. The scene should be comedic with layered depth and feature adult characters only.

Here's the skinny:

Joan Scheckel and her filmmaking workshops are becoming known throughout Hollywood and the international film world as the crucial force behind the most exciting films being made today. Having worked with so many of the vital new voices in cinema, including Niki Caro (“Whale Rider,” “North Country”), Mike Mills (“Thumbsucker”), Mark Romanek (“One Hour Photo”), Alison Maclean (“Jesus’ Son”), Patricia Cardoso (“Real Women Have Curves”), Jeffrey Blitz (“Spellbound,” “Rocket Science”), and Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (directors of this year’s Sundance hit, “Little Miss Sunshine”), Scheckel’s sphere of influence continues to expand.

Since 1998 Joan has coached the development of over 250 films, both in her labs and as a highly valued script consultant. Over 100 of these films have been made or are currently in preparation, including "Whale Rider," "Sylvia," "Thumbsucker,” and “Little Miss Sunshine. "

Most recently, as a screenwriter in her own right, she is the co-author of "Mirka" (with Berry Liberman), and "The Untitled Niki Caro Project" (with Niki Caro). Joan’s solo efforts include the upcoming “Miracle Elixir” and “ Island".

Read more about Joan by visiting her website.

Rouge Wavers interested in submitting pages for consideration should send pages here no later than Friday June 15th. I know it's last minute.

Gabriel is looking for a 3 to 5 page scene, lightly comedic in nature, featuring two adult characters. Please provide a brief logline, character descriptions and the actor you picture for the part.

The writer chosen for the project will be invited to the final day of the workshop to see their scene enacted. Wavers not in Los Angeles would lose the opportunity to see their scene enacted but still make the connection with Gabriel not to mention possibly Scheckel.
