Table Read My Screenplay
Emerging or unverified festival
Table Read My Screenplay is a U.S.-based screenwriting competition and live table-read showcase rather than a traditional film festival, centered on feature scripts, TV pilots, and short scripts. It is notable for pairing finalists and winners with professional actors and directors for staged readings, often in connection with major industry events such as Sundance, AFM, and other pitch forums, giving writers direct exposure to producers, agents, managers, and executives. Its significance in the festival circuit comes from its industry-facing format: past winners have gone on to be staffed, optioned, premiere at Cannes, and even receive Oscar recognition.
