We are proud to present our third workshop of this year. Many thanks to our Directors, Natalie Kim, Son Tran and Matte Chi and our adventurous Actors who participated in our script reading last month. We would like our monthly meetings to be a place where actors, writers, directors, and others can come to re-connect with the rest of the world. Too often we are in our own bubble and it's only through collaboration can anything be accomplished, especially for film and theater.

Our next meeting will be a doozie. For the first hour we will focus on Acting Managers. Makalina Abalos from Jadin Wong Talent Management will be joining us. This will be a great opportunity to get to know their group and for them to get to know you if you are not represented or are looking to change managers. For the second hour we will hang out and network as we have done in the past, but this time will will be announcing the new AAFL management team and give you an opportunity to get to know us and vice versa.
