Hosted by AWD South, Book Club is a virtual series open to all Directing and Ally Members. Selected readings help members hone their craft and further their filmmaking careers. Guest authors attend for a Q&A as their availability permits.
Typically, we announce the next book about two months ahead to give everyone time to read it. Information on how to RSVP goes out closer to each event.
