540 School

• This is an area of the 540 Film Fest that will grow significantly in the years to come, but take advantage of the learning opportunities available to you and your family throughout this weekend.
• Trike Theatre, a professional theatre for young audiences, will be offering acting classes for youth on Saturday for all ages. See the full schedule of events for times or visit their website for more information at www.triketheatre.org
• Finished a film or considering making one and not sure what you'd do with it when it reaches completion? Join Zac Reeder of Circus Road Films, one of the 540 Film Fest jurors, for a discussion of all the distribution options out there today.
• All area writers! Don't miss the opportunity to join screenwriters from the festival in a round table discussion on writing screenplays, how to shop them and the traps writer's find themselves in.
• After you've enjoyed the documentary Tales From the Script, join other writers for the Pitching Hour. This is your opportunity to pitch your script in 8 min. or less to a panel who will determine which script they would be most likely to buy. Get some real practice vocalizing your ideas and get feedback to make your future pitch even better.
