Register for the live table read on July 2
While Rom Com Fest the festival may be postponed this year, we are excited to be hosting our second annual screenwriting competition in partnership with Scriptd and Untitled Ladies Script Club! The live table read will feature incredible talent (to be announced soon) reading the winning script.
The winning script is The Naked Man List by Morgan Pepper. Single and still a virgin at twenty-five, Piper Branson is determined to find the man of her dreams by transforming herself into the most classic and beloved characters from the last twenty years of romantic comedies.
The live table read will be held over Zoom. Register for a ticket on Eventbrite and then you'll receive a meeting link in advance of the event.
This event is pay-what-you-can with suggested pricing tiers. Your contribution will help the Rom Com Fest team to continue planning events. A portion of all ticket sales will be donated to Black TV & Film Collective, a 501c3 with a mission to increase the sustainable career opportunities for artists of color working in television, film and digital entertainment.
