INDIE FILM INTENSIVE with Film Director Sonja O'Hara - FIRST TIME GUEST!
Wednesday, June 21, 2017, 7pm ET / 4pm PT
This event is in the past.
Actors Connection is thrilled to have one of NY's Newest Film directors/producers/screenwriters!
Sonja wrote and produced the feature film OVUM (cast by Kimberly Graham at the Emmy-winning casting office of Judy Henderson & Associates) which went on to win "Best Picture" at the Big Apple Film Festival (chosen by a jury from IndieWire, HBO & Film Buff), "Best Dark Comedy" at The Manhattan Film Festival and was released by Sony's The Orchard. Her new hour-long TV series DOOMSDAY is a finalist for the upcoming Sundance Episodic Lab and was an official selection at The New York Television Festival (where she won the BEST DIRECTOR award alongside her co-director Jaspal Binning.) and went on to win BEST SERIES at HBO's ITVFest. Sonja is currently casting her new project ANATOMY OF AN ORCHID which will film this summer in New York City.
Sonja will select sides based on your HS/resume submission which you will be emailed and prepare 1-2 days in advance. For the intensive, you'll start off with a Q&A, and then Sonja will begin working with you with a reader, on-camera, in a group format. Be prepared for feedback and adjustments as Sonja will coach and critique your work, tweak your material and share invaluable information.
