Western Writers of American read the "Homesman"


The Western Writers of American kicked off their annual convention, this year held in Lubbock, TX with an acting-read of the "Homesman."

Kirk Ellis, Vice-President of the Western Writer's of American, notes that annual conventions always include panels and workshops on screenwriting, but what better way to learn the craft then to hear and see first hand how the a novel flows into script format than to do a table read?

An assortment of Western Writer members did such that.  Narrated and directed by Kirk Ellis, the audience was entertained and impressed with the table read of the  shooting script of the "Homesman".

Thadd had three characters to read- first the freighter driver, then a bartender, and poker dealer.  
Johnny Boggs did an excellent job as the primary character played by Tommy Lee Jones in the movie.

After party- Henry, me, and Thadd
