Jimmy V as Theo Smithton in "Company Town" on The Unproduced Table Read

This post is for any inspiring film writers out there. I recently became apart of Popcorn Talk which is a sub-division of the Afterbuzz Network that covers conversations about all movies and film. Yesterday, I sat on one of the newest shows titled "The Unproduced Table Read" which the hosts have a table read of scripts that haven't been produced. There is a lot of great work in the entertainment industry that doesn't make it to the big screen. Over at Popcorn Talk we give writers the chance to have their script heard to an audience and also possibly get picked up.

The script we cover on this weeks show is titled "Company Town". Big s/o to the writer Samantha Levenshus for allowing us to bring her script to life. The setting of the story takes place in 1894 during a time where blacks and white were not equal . I read lines for the character Theo Smithton who is a 24 year old African American that works for the owners of a train station. My character is in love with a white woman which at the time was against the law. When others learn of this relationship things get real heated between the character. You have to listen to the episode below to find out how deep the story goes. Enjoy, listen to it below!
