On Saturday January 30th, 2010, the Steeltown Film Factory hosted a panel discussion entitled "Scripted Readings: Does the Story Work?" The event was not only SOLD OUT, but also another successful step in accomplishing Steeltown's mission to spur interest in the entertainment industry in Pittsburgh.
The event, sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University, allowed 10 semi-finalists to have their screenplays read aloud by CMU prestigious School of Drama students. After each reading, the panelists, a wide range of successful current and expatriate Pittsburghers in the entertainment field, were given time to critique the scripts and add suggestions. The next step of the contest will be held on Saturday, February 20, 2010, when, the NOW 5 Semi-Finalaists, will pitch their films to another set of industry professionals.
Below are some photographs from the January 30th event.
