Call for Scripts: Austin Actors Conservatory presents Script to Screen Project 2018

What is Script to Screen?

With a goal to provide work opportunities for industry professionals living and working in Texas, the Script to Screen series is a LIVE read by professional actors of unproduced films or TV scripts before an industry audience. The Script to Screen project is committed to helping professional writers present their work to potential investors and provide a level of talent that can help facilitate casting.

Our scripts are selected from professional writers and/or script festival winners. They are rehearsed, directed and performed for one performance only by professionals before industry casting directors, producers, directors, potential investors and industry pros.

How does it work?

Scripts are accepted by the Script to Screen Reading Committee for consideration and scripts are chosen for presentation using a variety of criteria.

• Is the script producible in a live situation (cast size, special effects, etc.)?
• Does the script have a variety of character ages and ethnicities?
• Could the script be produced in Texas?

These and other factors are taken into consideration. Script to Screen team members are auditioned and cast by the selected director/producer with rehearsals on the performance date prior to the read.

We invite you to participate!

If you have a script that you would like to have considered for our next Script to Screen please submit. We will select three short scripts of 15 pages or less. Electronic script submissions are accepted at any time for reading committee consideration. It is suggested, but not mandatory, that scripts be registered with the Writers Guild of America (http://www.wgawregistry.org/.) This registration protects your intellectual property.

For submissions and additional questions please email to houstonaustin@sagaftra.org. 

Please submit your short screenplay script before May 31.
