The AAFilmLab has been providing programs for filmmakers, writers, and actors to share work and to learn together via Unfinished Works and Industry Spotlight workshops. Though we’ve yet to represent all fields in our workshops, we recognize that we also haven’t had the opportunity to just talk and have open dialogue to share our thoughts, experiences and resources in depth on any particular topic. To encourage more dialogue in our community, we are offering ‘Discussions’ to our Industry Spotlight program to give our community an informal forum for discussing industry related topics. The discussions can be open-discussions, or guest panels which will be lightly moderated and lead as to keep on topic, be inclusive and keep the discussion going.

We’ll be starting Industry Spotlight Discussion with the focus on Actors on April 21st with Wayne Chang of Wayne Chang Casting, an independent casting director, as a guest. Please come out and support your fellow actors for a casual night of open discussion. Everyone is encouraged to bring a favorite fingerfood/beverage to share, and to express themselves and share their opinions. All levels of acting experience are welcome.

Preliminary ‘Discussion Points’ On Acting:
Education
Work
State of Asians in the industry

RSVP FOR ATTENDANCE & DISCUSSION POINT SUGGESTIONS:
To attend this program, please RSVP via this Facebook Event and submit your suggestions for discussion points, on the topic of acting, under comments or send it to us privately with subject line: “April 21 Acting Discussion.”

Please bring a favorite finger-food/beverage to share.
