Anthology First Table Read
First Table Read Session
April 15 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm
Session led by Rhys Davies
As we move forward with the Anthology Film Project, we’re excited to begin the crucial next stage: Table Reads. This is where scripts truly start to come to life, giving us the opportunity to hear them aloud, refine dialogue, and shape the vision for each film.
In this session, we will focus on the first few scripts that are set to go into production but do not yet have a director assigned. This is an opportunity for both writers and potential directors to collaborate, experiment with ideas, and discuss how these stories can be developed into engaging short films.
What to Expect from the Table Read
- Exploring Dialogue in Screenwriting – Hearing the scripts read aloud allows us to assess how dialogue shapes character, tone, and pacing.
- Establishing the Fundamentals of Drama – We’ll discuss what makes each scene engaging and emotionally compelling, ensuring the storytelling is as strong as possible.
- Feedback & Discussion – This is an open forum to share insights, refine scripts, and strengthen the Anthology Film Project as a whole.
If you’re a writer, director, or actor, this session is a great way to get involved in the creative process. It’s an opportunity to develop and refine scripts before they go into production, as well as a chance for club members to step forward and express their interest in directing these films.
Below, you’ll find the scripts we will be reading during this session. Each script is available to read online and download, so please take a look in advance and come prepared to contribute to the discussion.
