The One Page Lab
An intensive for future and early career narrative filmmakers
The One Page Lab is a chance for directors, writers, actors and cinematographers to get together and practice shooting one page of a script. Each lab is supported with gear, a location, and supplemental crew (if needed) by the Open Gate team. Time in front of or behind the camera is rare for film artists, but it shouldn’t be. The One Page Lab aims to be a place to hone your skills in a low pressure environment. Actors can work on delivery, blocking, timing, and scene work with a real crew, writers and directors can work on the language of film, cinematographers can test lenses, cameras, movement etc., all in an afternoon.
If you are an actor seeking more on camera practice, we are soft launching our first One Page Lab with the script “Brian”. Read the script below and apply to the lab!
Please note that selection is based on availability and compatibility. Experience and skill is not factored into it, that’s what the lab is for! However, as there are only two roles available, space is limited.
