Just write! That is the theme for this month.. With about six weeks away from the Maumee film festival we are looking to have a pilot length (20-30 page) script ready for a table read at the festival. Glass City Screenwriters is pairing up with Toledo Talent (local actors group) for a Table Read seg...
