Are you passionate about storytelling, intrigued by the nuances of screenwriting, and eager to dive into lively discussions about what makes the movies you enjoy (or don’t enjoy) stand out? Look no further than ScriptLive, Albantsho’s premier monthly event that celebrates the art of screenwriting, cinematic exploration, and collaborative learning.
What is ScriptLive?
ScriptLive is the gateway to a vibrant world of storytelling. It’s a monthly meetup for film lovers, screenwriters, and filmmakers to discuss the scripts shaping our favorite films.
At each gathering, we explore a fresh screenplay, discussing characters, plot twists, smart writing decisions that create memorable stories, and sometimes, why certain creative choices didn’t quite connect with the audience.
We meet for the love of film and leave with new insights to better appreciate the art form.
