why & how?
As uncomfortable as it can be, receiving feedback on scripts in the developmental phase is essential to growing as a writer and evolving one’s work. It would benefit any writer to become familiar with the practice as early as possible. A round table read facilitated by experienced colleagues is a valuable step, potentially closing the gap between scripts being stuck in word documents versus scripts becoming entertainment industry-ready.
Sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint script problems until you hear them come to life. Sometimes your reworking of drafts reaches a watershed you can’t transcend. Hearing actors inhabiting the world you’re creating is where you start to see what works and what doesn’t. Providing a practical feedback platform to help script exploration is the inspiration behind The Best Seat in the House.
