DESCRIPTION:This Spring, Intersection for the Arts collaborates with CLEVER Media Arts 
 to solicit and review scripts in order to host a staged reading of 
 screenplays that explore hidden, functional or broken systems. Almost two 
 dozen writers submitted their works for consideration, and a panel of 
 industry creatives and professionals including: Tina D’Elia, Actor, 
 Writer & Casting Consultant; Cheryl Dunye, Writer & Director; Jennifer 
 Rainin, President of the Board of Directors, Rainin Foundation; Marc 
 Smolowitz, Executive Producer at 13 Gen, reviewed and selected a 
 winner.\n\nYou are invited to the staged reading of Alaska is a Drag. 
 Participate as an audience member as characters from the winning entry come 
 to life! Join us in developing a community of writers, actors and industry 
 professionals; and stay for a reception and structured feedback session 
 with fellow filmmakers immediately following the reading.\n\nCommitted to 
 discovering and developing Bay Area screenwriters, CLEVER’s new 
 initiative supports the development of new voices by working with a 
 selected screenwriter to produce a table read of their screenplay by 
 professional actors in front of a live audience.\n\nABOUT THE WINNING 
 ENTRY\n\nTitle: Alaska is a Drag\nWritten by: Shaz Bennett\nLog Line: 
 Leo’s dreams of becoming an international superstar are hard fought 
 working in a fish cannery in Alaska — until a new kid Declan moves to 
 town and forces Leo and his twin sister Tristen to face the real reason 
 they’re up to their knees in fish guts.\n\nABOUT CLEVER\n\nCLEVER is a 
 think tank created with a mission to increase the positive visibility of 
 queers and women in the media arts. CLEVER was founded in 2011 by the 
 renowned filmmaker Cheryl Dunye and a group of experts across various 
 creative fields ranging from photography and film to entrepreneurship and 
 law.  CLEVER’s goal is to use the media arts as a vehicle for social 
 change through the creation of symposia and events, technical support, and 
 a collaborative community of professional artists working together to build 
 new markets and wider audiences.\n\nThe Big Table Read is part of 
 Intersection for the Arts’ Spring program, SYSTEMS, a series of programs 
 that explores various mechanisms of social order at work.\n\nBoth 
 omnipresent and hidden, systems give structure to our everyday lives. 
 Throughout Spring 2014, Intersection’s multi-disciplinary program 
 explores these various mechanisms of social order at work.  Intersection 
 engages communities from the Bay Area to expand our understanding of 
 systems — systems of economy, systems of tradition, and systems of 
 oppression, among others — and our voice to effect change within them.  
 The artists-in-residence in Systems offer economic, historical, political 
 and aesthetic regimes as subjects for discussion. The series boasts a wide 
 array of new work by artists reflecting on how we negotiate existence 
 within systems that structure the world around us.\n\nTICKETS - Sliding
