A Call For “Unfinished Works”
We are continuing going back to our roots with our original workshop format.  It’s an opportunity for us to help challenge and improve each other’s work, grow as a filmmakers and strengthen the bonds between us.  It’s a great way of progressing by problem solving while building community.  So, if you have an unfinished work, please bring it in to workshop!

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, length, what stage it’s in, & your projected goals for it) as well as the feedback your are seeking.

Sincerely,
AAFilmLab
