Screenplay Announcement

#1 Post by mellytu74 » Thu Feb 22, 2018 9:08 am

As many of you know, I have been working on a screenplay, The Smartest Kid in the Room, for several years now through the Continuing Education program at University of the Arts.

On March 28, the screenplay will have a full reading at UArts and I will receive my Screenwriting Certificate.

The reading will be done by a combination of local actors and UArts acting students.

I am stoked.

Recently, I worked several of the scenes at the Sundance Intensive Workshop in Philadelphia. The next step will be a final polish and submission for contests and further Sundance work.

Fantastic! It's a great feeling to hear your screenplay read. May you soon get to see it on a screen.
