We are still seeking “Unfinished Works” to workshop including, but not limited to:
1. Screenplays
2. Films in pre/post production
3. Acting monologues
4. Storyboarding, art direction including set, lighting, costume designs, sound design (including music) and editing choices, a specific scene challenge…basically any thing that isn’t complete that you need an outside perspective on to help you complete your vision.

To submit an “Unfinished Work,” please email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with “Unfinished Work” in the subject line, including a description of your project (including format and length) as well as the feedback your are seeking.

LU CHUAN’S MASTERFUL EPIC “CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH” OPENS ON MAY 11

On December 9, 1937, the Imperial Japanese Army laid siege to the Chinese capital of Nanking, beginning a reign of terror that killed as many as 300,000 civilians—an infamous tragedy now referred to as the Rape of Nanking. The first big-budget fiction film by the Chinese to deal with this seminal event in their modern history, CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH follows those caught in the crossfire: a young Chinese general who leads a platoon in street fighting; the German businessman John Rabe, who establishes a safety zone to protect the lives of countless Chinese; and a Japanese officer conflicted by the brutality of his commander. A runaway hit with audiences in China, the film is a visceral, heartbreaking portrait of life during wartime, and an unforgettable masterpiece of contemporary world cinema.

Though the deadline has past, this is something we should all know about for the future.
