Acting

For those about to write -- let them come to Berlin! Think of us as a writers' room on the Iron Curtain. We help you turn ideas into Beat Sheets, and Beat Sheets into Scripts. Whatever your level -- we help you to raise your game. We also do a lot of table reads. And provide constructive feedback. And talk about books and films and shows we love -- and draw inspiration for our own projects from them. We workshop works-in-progress. We give you the tools -- you find your flow. Broadly speaking, we have ways to make you write!

The next Pitch and Planning Session will be on:  **Tue. Apr. 21th at 19:00** **House of Music** **RAW Gelande** **Revalerstr 99,** **10245 Berlin** The event is on the ground floor, by the bar. This is a very large and amazing space that we are now calling home. We are super looking forward to hearing your pitches and watching you meet people ready to help you make your films a reality in the really real world! Please note that this is a free event. In order to support the work we do, our community, and the lovely space that is gracious enough to let us hold events there, all we ask is that that you have 2 drinks of some kind or at least some snacks. That would help us out a lot!  For those who are new, our Pitch and Planning Session is a monthly English language event held here in Berlin for people who have an idea for a film and would like to pitch it, as well as those people who are eager to work on films. It's all about getting films made. If you have a film idea that is burning a hole in your brain, tell the people in the audience your story idea and hopefully you will meet people who can help you make your idea into a reality! This event is also for people who want to help out in all aspects of filmmaking to help make these pitches happen. So if your passion is camera, sound, hair and makeup, writing, lighting, fighting, or anything that could help, you are always welcome. Whether you're new to filmmaking or experienced and want to work on something cool and creative, no matter what your area of expertise/interest is, this is for you! Be sure to show up to either pitch your idea or be ready to listen to some interesting pitches from excited people and potentially help someone make their film. Let's make some cool shit! If you still want more information you can head on over to our website: [https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/pitch_and_planning/](https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/pitch_and_planning/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExS253Rk1hTzRST21nNms2d3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR78aez-ccVasUCGpbvr5bZH6QOjgYIGgVBqwhpnHgimf4f7csTrjMQ1RbslLA_aem_3RG_oFQJj_ELRB-L0VCp5g) I have been a part of making some of these pitched projects into real world movies and I have always had a blast.

New Starting Time: 12:00 For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come. If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

This isn’t Anna writing some stuff that she thinks you’re going to find funny – this is real life and hilarious.” – Adrian Bowen “This was such a fun show and I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing! It was so dark, a little twisted, and so wrong in all the right places! Viciously relatable and finally saying all the 18+ thoughts out loud that you’re ashamed of finding funny! 10/10, no notes, go watch!” – Sarah “Anna is the full package. Hilarious, smart, beautiful and edgy. This show is fantastic. 10/10. Enjoyed it so much that I also went to see Anna’s Oversharing show. It’s just as good! Do yourself a favour and check it out!” – Nev “BRILLIANT! 10/10. Educational, hilarious, witty. Excellent comedic timing. Anna’s show is by far the funniest I have seen at Fringe.
