Keep in mind I have interviewed so many of Australia's leading casting professionals that you can pump us all for info and again - at only $25 with the QOS readers code - it will be an all round valuable info session for actors.

What's On About NAFA Screenplay Workshops:
Since Feb 2006, NAFA has been running monthly script development workshops involving all 3 NAFA subgroups of actors, screenwriters and filmmakers.
This is a service we offer NAFA Members and previous guest speakers.
Many scripts have been subsequently activated for production after their readings.
Note: Given we are a film-based group, so we ONLY read screenplays!
Here's the process we request from writers:
TO BOOK your script for the next NAFA script workshop,
please let me know:
* Title of your script
* Number of pages
* Logline
* Brief synopsis
* Character briefs
* Email: tony@nafa.net.au
Important Notes:
(1) Deadline for script submissions for the next workshop: Thursday 15 Oct 2009
(2) Wheras NAFA Members will always get priority, if Members are unavailable to attend,
this workshop will be opened up to others [ see item # 5].
(3) Screenwriters are requested to bring in enough copies to coincide with the number of characters in their script.
Usually 6 - 8 scripts are required.
(4) If a feature script is being read then that will occupy the whole night.
Otherwise, we usually fit in 3- 4 shorts.
(5) Promotion of the workshop will be as follows:
> NAFA Membership (priority)
> NAFA Choc Tops meetings
> NAFA page on Facebook
> NAFA VIPs
> Talent agents, casting agents
> Acting schools, film schools, media contacts
WORKSHOP DETAILS:
Dates: Fourth Monday of the month (excluding Dec and Jan)
Next workshop: Monday 26 Oct 2009
Time: 6.30pm - 9.00pm
Location: Community Centre, Maroubra Junction
