We thank the writers for allowing the Workshop to read their work. The writers are incredibly excited to be able to have actors come and read their scripts. We're asking all actors who are looking for projects or want to come and flex their skills for a few hours with fellow Asian American actors and filmmakers to come and read.

We will be reading from the following scripts:

TITLE: "Tripping" - Son Tran

SYNOPSIS:
Tripping is loosely based on a true story about four good friends who find themselves on a road trip no gas, no luck and even less common sense.

CHARACTERS:
Sean - Vietnamese, mid 20's, average build, has a quick wit and and even quicker tongue. He isn't as loud as the others but is sense of humour is dry and cutting.

Radu - Romanian, mid 20's, tall and broad shouldered, is loud and enthusiastic in his conversations, a little juvenile but is a stickler for following rules.

Tony - Italian, late 20s, not as outgoing as Radu but also not afraid to engage his friends, around strangers he is polite and considerate if not outright shy.

Ted - Chinese, mid 20s, he is the most aggressive of the group and is focussed on networking, getting ahead and making money, not afraid to bend the rules if it suits him.

TITLE: "Felix Awards" - Natalie Kim

SYNOPSIS
In the spirt of "Waiting for Gelfman", "Felix Awards" is a quirky comedy which introduces us to Grace Park, a 24 year old financial analyst moonlighting as an actor. She works in student films to field her passion while she maintains her Park Avenue lifestyle.

She tells herself that performing is not practical and only does it "for fun". Things change dramatically when Grace is nominated for a Felix Award, the awards given to the best Student Films. Suddenly Grace's notion of doing acting just for fun is tested. Should she listen to her boyfriend, Eddie, who tells her that she has no chance whatsoever? Should she listen to the talent agent who has over 26 years of experience who says she has no talent whatsoever?
