Script to Screen Team
SAG members have created the Script to Screen Team to support the creative film throughout south Texas. Each month, SAG members read a professional film script before a live audience to industry pros, performers and potential investors. This one-time read connects the performers with other members of the film community and helps the screenwriters hone their material. Script to Screen reads now happen in both Houston and Austin. To find out the location of the next read, or to become a part of the team, contact Trish Avery at tavery@sag.org or call (800) 724-0767, option 7.
