7:30pm – 8pm : Wine Bar – Grab a glass of wine and chop it up before the show begins

8pm – 10 pm : Live Reads  – The writer, using the actors from the Actor’s Den, presents 5 pages of their script to an audience of fellow writers, producers, directors and film investors.  After each reading, a Q&A discussion with the writer and audience takes place.

10 pm – 11pm : Network – Have some drinks and meet everyone in the room while jamming to golden age Hip Hop. The person next to you could lead to your next gig, be a film investor or be a new resource.
