About the event
Most industry readers decide quickly whether to keep reading a screenplay.
Explore how strong first pages establish character, tone, genre, and curiosity-and make readers eager to turn the page.
Bring the first page of a screenplay, pilot, or short script for discussion and feedback. Share, discuss, and learn together.
Featuring a discussion with a local actor on what excites them (and what turns them off) in the first page.
