Call out to Theaters!

Can you help ScreenplayLab find more theaters to help host
our events?

Raleigh Studios and The Lillian are very busy this fall
(and we're glad for them that they are!), but it means we
need more theaters to help us. Our arrangement with
theaters is they give us space for three hours for free
that wouldn't otherwise be rented, and we help promote
them.

The generosity of theaters in supporting our cause has
enabled us to make our events free in a town where
filmmaker groups typically cost $100 a year to join and
charge members $5 to $20 for events. Our events are top
notch, with great speakers such as MTV Films development
director Charlie Jordan Brookins who just spoke yesterday
and AFM managing director Jonathan Wolf speaking on
Thursday.

Our group's mission is to make the world a better place
through comedy in television and motion pictures. We
nurture that by presenting great industry speakers,
having workshops of new upbeat screenplays with actors,
and through networking. Writers are getting pitch
meetings with studio execs. The logline of one of
screenplays from ScreenplayLab won the pitchfest last
week at the Sundance Producers Lab. More than two dozen
actors and writers have signed agent representation by
being noticed through ScreenplayLab.

At Raleigh we're at capacity in their 42-seat theater. The
Lillian that we'll be at on Thursday is a 90-seat theater.
Last year we were meeting at The Writers Store which is a
smaller gallery type of space, but a theater with raked
seating and a stage like at Raleigh (which is a screening
theater) or The Lillian (which is an Equity stage) works
much better. If you know of a theater that would like to
host some of our events please let me know.

Tell your friends not to wait to the last minute to RSVP
for our AFM event on Thursday. The Hollywood Reporter has
it listed in their online calendar and will be promoting it
in their print edition on Thursday. We expect to pack the
theater.

Together as a group we're making it happen. Thank you for
joining us!
