Read This
It's such a well written script. I don't know ANYTHING about drumming, but I was so drawn into the world and the characters and the stakes.
This is basically a movie between 2 people, protagonist and antagonist and that relationship holds your attention for the entire script. The twists, turns and surprises are magnetic.

UPDATE! EVERYTHING ACTING PODCAST!
Roz Returns To Actors Connection!!
ACTING FOR FILM & TV: The Super Four - 4 Week On-Camera Class with Roz Coleman, Professional Actress, Film Director and On-Set Coach
11:00 am - After RAVE reviews...Actors Connection is thrilled to have SUPERSTAR Roz Coleman back teaching our Saturday on-camera class for film and TV. This sought after actress is an incredible acting coach and was recently voted Favorite On Camera Teacher in the Backstage Readers Poll for the 2nd Year in a row! Roz also served as the on-set coach for HBO's hit series In Treatment starring Gabriel Byrne.
In this 4 Week on-camera class, you'll work with Roz Coleman on 4 genres that Film/TV actors encounter in auditions and on-set.
For all four classes, you'll be shooting scenes with a reader to view in class with extensive feedback. Roz will cover the unique elements that each genre poses to the actor and the ways to improve your performance.
Your first week will start off with Sitcom material. Roz will work with you on pacing, proximity and "how to find the funny" for television. The second week, Roz will cover One-Hour Dramas going over elements such as heightened stakes and keeping things conversational. In your third week, you'll work on Dramatic Features adjusting the size of your performance to be more film friendly. In your final week, Roz will work with you on Comedy Features and how to adjust your performance for film while maintaining pace, character and comedic timing.
Throughout the course, Roz will also cover working with a reader, script analysis and some of the challenges of working on set. You'll gain a better understanding of these FOUR genres and how to approach them for future auditions.

In the Spirit Of LOVE,
NBC Scene Showcase
A 6-8 week workshop of original scenes by diverse writers, cast with up-and-coming actors and guided by directors of diverse backgrounds presented in a one-day live theatrical showcase for executives, producers, casting directors, and other industry professionals.
SELECTION PROCESS
Stage One: Script Selection (Writers)
We will put out an open call for scripts to be performed live in front of an audience. We will accept two types of scripts: comedy scenes and dramatic monologues.
COMEDY SCENE REQUIREMENTS:
- There should be no more than two actors in the scene (and no less).
- The scene should be five minutes long (4-6 pages, standard script format).
- The piece should be stand-alone; it shouldn’t feel like an excerpt from a longer piece, and should have a clear beginning, middle, and end.
- Given that these scenes are meant to be performed on a stage in front of a live audience, special effects should be kept to a minimum.
DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE REQUIREMENTS:
- As it is a monologue, it should be written for ONE actor.
- The monologue should be 1-2 minutes long.
- The piece should be able to stand alone.
Submit your scenes using our online form, which will open for submissions on November 17th and will close on December 12th at 11:59pm. You may download the legal release form here.
We will accept only one submission per applicant.
Once the window has closed, the reading process will begin. If the Scene Showcase decides to move forward with your script, you will be notified by early Feburary 2015.
Free Screenplays 2014
What makes a great writer? Reading!!
I think it's important to do all kinds of reading, fiction, non-fiction, comics, graphic novels, newspapers (are there any left) and even blogs, but for us screenwriters I think it's most important to read other screenplays.
You'll learn:
- How scenes are mapped on the page.
- How characters are introduced.
- How action is written.
As you read through a screenplay keep note of:
- Pacing. Does it make you want to turn the page?
- Setting. Is the writer giving you a sense of time and place?
- Tone. Do the comedies read funny? Do thrillers feel suspenseful? Do dramas feel dramaful?(OK that's not a word, but I was on a roll.)
So to that end I've come across a list of screenplays of movies for 2014.
If you've seen the movie - how does reading it compare to what you saw?
If you haven't seen the movie - see it, how does the movie compare to what you read?
Then I would suggest writing a paragraph or two about your observations. Because writers write right??
What's your favorite movie? Have you read the screenplay?
