Another day, another Speed Date! But who are we hooking up this time?
Once, twice, three times a speed date!
Our first two speed dates were so much fun (and successful – we’ve heard of quite a few matches) that we’re doing another one.
We’ve hooked up writers with other writers.
And we’ve married directors to writers.
So who’s left?
Duh. Producers and writers!
On Tuesday, June 21st, at 7 PM in my studio, we’ll be hosting the 3rd and final Speed Date of the year, by matching up Producers looking for projects and projects looking for Producers.
Wanna come?
Ok, here’s the mini-catch. Because we expect that the demand for writers looking for Producers to be like the demand for Justin Bieber tickets at a bat mitzvah, we’re adding one restriction.
We timed this Speed Date to coincide with the beginning of Festival season here in NY. Writers who have a show in any NY festival (or have a guaranteed production) in the next six months, are getting the first slots at the Speed Date.
So if you’re a writer with a show in NYMF, Fringe, Midtown International, etc., etc., and are looking for a Producer, then this is the Speed Date for you.
Producers, if you’re new to the game and looking to get some experience or if you’re a seasoned vet looking for new material, this is the Speed Date for you. (Fundraising may not be a requirement. And writers, don’t treat this speed date like a shopping trip for a sugar daddy . . . passion for your project trumps deep pockets any day.)
Ok?
If we have room for writers without firm production dates, we will announce that on the blog.
Here are the details:
