If you are interested in learning more about being a reader, I am currently hosting the last round of the live "Make Money Reading & Analyzing Screenplays" Masterclasses. You can register at HollywoodGatekeepers.com/FreeMasterclass
Here at Hollywood Gatekeepers, we are building incredible relationships with other organizations that are interested in helping writers create screenplays that producers will love. One of those organizations is the Austin Film Festival! The Austin Film Festival is a writer-centric festival. Celebrating 30 years of service, the Austin Film Festival furthers the art and craft of storytelling by inspiring and championing the work of writers, filmmakers, and all artists who use written and visual language to tell a story. I am thrilled to support their efforts. We share a passion for writers!
The Austin Film Festival has a lot going on! First of all, they're making a trip to Los Angeles on April 29th! If you're interested in seeing experts discuss SECURING REPRESENTATION and GAINING RECOGNITION - grab a ticket to this informative and entertaining event by going to austinfilmfestival.com/event/...
Secondly, they are very passionate about creating a positive experience for all of the people that enter their competitions. They have several categories for writers. The final deadlines to enter are in May! You can see how to submit a screenplay into their festival byaustinfilmfestival.com/submit/
They get A LOT of entries into their screenplay competitions. And they use a lot of readers to evaluate these screenplays! I am happy to say that many of our graduates are readers for the festival. Grace Donaldson, their Screenplay Competition Manager recently worked with our Screenreaders to up-level their participation in the festival.
I am so excited to share that Grace is now going to join me to talk to you!! I am going to interview Grace about the Austin Film Festival's approach to writing and finding screenplays as well what they look for in their readers. Grace really knows her stuff. You won't want to miss this. She is very passionate about helping writers and finding ways to make the experience of entering their competitions as well as reading for their contests a positive one. I am reallllly looking forward to this. You're going to love it!
