This workshop will discuss how a director will interact with a script when they join a project and what they look for when approached to join a project. The info shared is also valuable for writers who expect to direct their own projects to ensure they are wearing the "right hat" for this stage of production. This workshop is a public part of the Narrative Script Development Fellowship for May.
