Upstart brings together local actors, writers, and directors to perform simple scene studies for the camera. These scenes are shot and edited for the review of everyone involved. Actors – experience working with different directors and keep your talents fresh by working on new scenes each week. Directors – experiment while gaining experience working with talented actors. Writers – there’s no cost to submit a script! If it’s appropriate for Upstart, our directors and actors will shoot it while you watch your script come to life!
