The Subatomic Films office visited our Pennsylvania Bureau for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time eating and playing board games and poker. Fun Fun.

Now back to reality, and the reality is that I have my Thesis Table reading on Wednesday afternoon. Faculty is trying to make it a big deal, and there's a lot of production money available so I kinda have to do a good job.

What happens at a table reading is that actors usually sit down around a table and literally read your script out loud. This is fundamentally flawed, especially in cinema where it's usually the visuals and not the dialogue that is important, but so be it.

So I reckon the whole thing is just an exercise in screenwriting, which is fine. So the last week or so, I've been trying to track down actors that are willing to do a table reading for a film that will probably shoot in a couple of years. That's been the toughest part.

But it's coming together and rehearsals start tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.
