In the Raw becomes stand-alone event

The Dungog Film Festival has partnered with Sydney Theatre to expand its script reading program In The Raw to Sydney.

In the Raw has been expanded to a stand-alone event, held bi-monthly and commencing on February 7.

In The Raw is a program where actors read unproduced screenplays in front of a live audience, offering filmmakers a chance to get their works heard by key industry players and tested with their intended audience. Projects like Pauline Chan’s screenplay Mei Mei (currently in post-production) graduated from In the Raw.

“Having hosted the premieres of such great Australian films as Lucky Miles, Romulus My Father and Men’s Group, Sydney Theatre has long been a friend of the Australian film industry and sees this partnership as an important development in this deepening relationship,” said Sydney Theatre executive producer Jo Dyer.

Tickets can be reserved online, by phone or in person at the Sydney Theatre box office.
