Tuesday, May 18th - The first 15 pages of the top five feature-length scripts submitted by SWW members will be read by local professional actors before a live audience. Bring your friends and family! The audience votes for their favorite. Prizes: $100 and screenwriting software courtesy of Mariner Software. Tuesday, May 18th 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. Comedy Sportz Free Social Mixer (self-pay) 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. The Independent (next door) Calhoun Square, 2nd floor Corner of Hennepin and Lake Uptown Minneapolis Open to Screenwriters’ Workshop members. Script pages must be from a feature-length screenplay (preferably completed). Short films are not eligible. Submitted scripts will be judged on: compelling hook, quality of writing, and memorable characters. Judges will provide screenwriters feedback on their entries. Maximum of three entries per person (or team). NOTE: Since this is a contest where actors perform the script “live,” a few cuts of action lines or other minor alterations of the screenwriter’s words may be deemed necessary by the judges in order to get a piece to flow seamlessly before the living, breathing voting audience. Member-writers can also contact the Showcase Coordinator via email with questions – info at screenwritersworkshop dot org.
