Join Austin Film Meet for a table reading and group review of feature and short film scripts. While hearing scripts out loud writers can get a better understanding of the story they created. It’s also an opportunity to hear real people say the dialog to show if it doesn’t sound right, and get suggestions to make it sound better!

Free to attend, membership required for selected scripts.
