North Star Story Summit

The Catalyst Content Festival is back in Duluth, Minnesota, October 2-6. However, this year will be different as Catalyst has joined forces with the Duluth-Superior Film Fest, Minnesota Web Fest and the Edu Film Fest to form the North Star Story Summit (NS3).

The summit will include screenings, script readings, project pitches, and a variety of workshops and panels. There will also be a diverse group of independently produced series pilots, feature films, and short films.

SAG-AFTRA members receive a 20% discount on all available festival passes (excluding Industry & Executive passes). To purchase a pass, follow this link and use the code “LU34ZM” at checkout.

SAG-AFTRA Content Creator Panel: Time and date forthcoming.

Making your dream project a reality is challenging. Join SAG-AFTRA as we talk with filmmakers and content creators screening at the summit about the obstacles and successes they experienced while shepherding their projects from script to screen.

Screenplay Table-Reads: Thursday, October 3 - Saturday, October 5

If you want another great reason to spend some time at the festival, submit yourself for consideration for the Table-Reads. This is a great opportunity to learn, exercise your skills, network and read parts from original scripts created by episodic writers from around the midwest and the world. If you are interested, complete Catalyst’s sign-up form as soon as possible using this link.

Submitting yourself for this opportunity does not guarantee you will be assigned any roles, only that you will be included in the talent pool from which content creators will cast their scenes. For those chosen to participate, this should in no way be perceived as an opportunity that leads to future employment.

We look forward to seeing you at the festival!  For any questions, please feel free to email TwinCities@SAGAFTRA.org.
