Do I need professional experience as a writer or actor to join?

No, you don’t need professional experience. Writers can submit their scripts, and our team will review them to ensure they meet the standard for our actors to perform.

What kind of scripts can I submit? Are there any restrictions?

There are no strict restrictions, but if your script contains sensitive language or content (e.g., themes of violence, race, or gender-related dialogue), please let us know in advance so we can make everyone aware.

What happens if I’m not selected due to limited spaces?
