Table Read

9 November 2016

While the Rehearsal Room was happening down in Wellington on Saturday, the third round of the Guild Table Reads for 2016 was taking place in Auckland at the NZ Writers Guild headquarters.

The feature length script that was read was written by DEGNZ member writer/director Paula W. Jones thanks to a cast of 6 actors who really brought the characters off the page. Check out some pics below!

The Table Reads are a joint initiative between DEGNZ, NZWG and Equity Foundation.

Table Reads will return for more rounds in 2017! If you have a feature-length script in development you’d like to have read, you can apply to go in the draw for future rounds by contacting NZWG: guildhq@nzwg.org.nz.

Open to members of DEGNZ / NZWG. Names remain for subsequent draws.

Alun’s name is synonymous with New Zealand feature film and Kiwi directors, from the quintessential Goodbye Pork Pie (Geoff Murphy), War Stories, Perfect Strangers and Lovely Rita (Gaylene Preston), Heavenly Creatures, Forgotten Silver, The Frighteners and Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson) to End Of The Golden Weather and Came A Hot Friday (Ian Mune), and Vigil and River Queen (Vincent Ward).

In this workshop Alun will look at the technical and beyond as he explores how to be cinematic to propel story, covering topics including lenses, lighting and camera movement to communication between director and DOP.

Applications are invited for a limited number of positions on this one-day workshop. Selected participants will be asked to bring along one film scene that they feel is cinematic for sharing and discussion with the group.

In one single Word document or PDF, please forward your CV and a maximum one-page statement about what you believe this workshop will contribute to your career as a filmmaker by 5PM Friday 18 November to admin@deganz.co.nz. Please put ‘Being Cinematic’ in the subject line.
