Act One is a podcast that shines a spotlight on screenwriters by showcasing the opening pages of their scripts and diving into the creative process behind them.

Each episode features a live read of an original screenplay’s first act, followed by an in-depth conversation about craft, character, and inspiration. Writers share the themes driving their stories, the choices they made to hook an audience, and the personal experiences that shaped their work. The podcast bridges the gap between emerging screenwriters and the industry professionals looking for fresh voices and new stories to champion.

At its heart, Act One celebrates bold voices, new perspectives, and the universal courage it takes to put words on a page.
