Attention screenwriters and actors! From our co-hosts of Filmmaker Fusion, we are happy to present a new challenge sure to spark your creativity in these socially distanced times! We are going virtual for this challenge, so there will be three online events including a kickoff panel with screenwriters, live actor auditions, and it will all culminate as a live table read on Zoom of the winning scripts. Registration for the screenwriting portion of the challenge is now open. Read on for specific details about each portion of the challenge.
