NEW Script Development Series

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:03:56 +0000

We are delighted to announce a new workshop series for playwrights and screenwriters called the Script Development Series.

Participants in this series will meet monthly to discuss submitted plays and screenplays with directors, actors and fellow writers. The goal is to turn drafts into producible, quality scripts through workshops, readings and staged readings. The location of the six-month workshop will alternate between Bloomington and Indianapolis to accommodate writers throughout the state.

More information will be coming shortly but all are welcome to submit scripts now!

Script Submission Guidelines

Please note: scripts must be submitted in both electronic and hard copies.

No scripts will be returned.
Previously workshopped or produced scripts are eligible; however, scripts that have received an Equity production or have been filmed by a major studio are not.
Playwrights and screenwriters may submit a maximum of three submissions at the beginning of each six-month Script Development Series.
Each submission must be at least ten pages in length.
Each manuscript must be typed in 12 point font and individually bound or stapled.
A current bio must accompany submission materials to be used for publicity purposes.
The title page must include a name, address, e-mail address and telephone number.
The volume of scripts submitted hampers our ability to comment individually on each work; therefore, Starrynight Productions will not offer criticism.
A fee of $150.00 will be due at the start of each six-month term to cover the cost of hiring actors and facilitation. This fee may need to be adjusted over time to account for increased costs.

Playwrights and screenwriters must meet regularly and be actively involved in the series. Participants are not automatically admitted into the Script Development Series and a production is not guaranteed by Starrynight Productions. However, only works developed in the Script Development Series shall be considered for the annual Indiana New Play Festival hosted by Starrynight Productions and IndyFringe.

The annual Indiana New Play Festival features performances and education seminars for theatre artisans. The festival will offer public performances of the best adjudicated plays developed in the Script Development Series.

Banshee Pick-ups

admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:10:57 +0000

The blog has been quiet at Starrynight but Russell and his team have been busy. We’ve foregone season planning of our theatre productions in favor of producing for the stage when we can catch a break from film editing. The final pick-up date for the Babbling Banshee is July 11-12. After that, all photography will be done.

We haven’t abandoned theatre completely! We will soon be announcing a show that will be performed in late August. Stay tuned for more details.

NEW Banshee Blog

admin — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 07:46:08 +0000

A few cast and crew members have volunteered to blog their experiences working on The Babbling Banshee, currently being filmed.

See the Banshee Blog here.

There isn’t any content up yet but the team is pulling some hard hours due to the foot of snow that wrecked havock with the shooting schedule. Please be patient and check the Banshee Blog again soon.

All a-Twitter

admin — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:58:03 +0000

The discerning among you may have noticed new links on the website and blog pointing to a few social networking sites where Starrynight Productions, Inc. is trying to make a presence. Those of you who have checked out our Twitter feed know that SP founder Russell McGee is currently preparing to film The Babbling Banshee.

These Tweets are the only official communication regarding the film thus far, but I hope to have more details up on the site soon. I can say that Russell and his cast and crew have spent the last two months hustling to get this project together for filming beginning January 31st. Russell likened his pre-production experience to theatre tech week- “except it doesn’t end.”

More to news to come.

Filming to Begin Saturday

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:19:05 +0000

Cast and crew will begin filming The Babbling Banshee on Saturday, January 31st. Russell McGee adapted his stage play for the screen and convinced stars Roy Sillings and Ryan Adam Wells to reprise their rolls as Ryan and Bryan O’Brien.

The stage play was in development for two years, during the course of which, the play was produced three times before giving way to a screenplay. In revising for film, Banshee underwent significant changes not in the story but in the telling. The cast has grown from two to over a dozen. As the tales are acted out, audiences will get to see Molly, the leprechaun and the banshee on screen.

Production meetings started in December and location scouting occurred into the new year. McGee, who will serve as director and producer, handpicked the cast and has been rehearsing with them on weeknights. Auditions for extras were held yesterday.

Shooting locations are scattered about Southern Indiana. Although most of the cast and crew are from the Bloomington area, a number are traveling from out of state.

The website will be updated soon to include a complete cast and crew list. A notice will be posted on the blog and on Twitter when such information is available.

Thank you!
