CASCADIA International Women’s Film Festival will be open for submissions for its popular Script Studio workshop beginning November 20.
The Script Studio is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, May 7, at the Mount Baker Theatre in the Encore Room and is open to the public. It is part of a series of workshops and events during CASCADIA's annual film festival, scheduled for May 4-7, 2023, in Bellingham, WA, and online. The festival showcases exceptional films directed or co-directed by women from around the world.
The Script Studio educational workshop is open for short film scripts written by women from anywhere in the world and designed to provide script writers with discussions and evaluations of their work. It includes a live reading of the scripts by actors followed by a panel discussion by film industry professionals. Panels in previous years have included film producers, directors, actors and casting directors. It is preferable that writers attend the presentation for direct participation in the discussions but alternatives like Skype have also been used.
Scripts should be in screenplay form and no longer than 20 pages. All narrative genres and film formats are acceptable including animation. Submissions should be sent to scriptstudio@cascadiafilmfest.org by January 31, 2023. Writers will be notified of acceptance in February, 2023.
