A play I wrote about the 18th century women's rights and abolition activist/playwright Olympe de Gouge was presented in a Zoom performance two weeks ago. The play draws parallels to our current political situation in the USA with the situation just before the Terror in the French Revolution. One of the viewers strongly recommended turning the piece into a film using the same close-up nature of Zoom for what is a very dialogue-heavy script. The audience was definitely wowed by the expressiveness of the actors performing in separate locations responding to the words as though they were all in the same room. The piece could be a stand-out at festivals or packaged with a prologue by a historian to submit for PBS or similar television markets. I am looking for a director interested in the project and can figure out ways to finance the film. I have a recording of the Zoom performance. The director needs to understand French phrases.

I would love to see it. I do understand some French. I am adding you into my network!
Hi @Bear COOL concept, it sounds like you already been your own director and need a film editor and actor or historian do monologue intro. Or do you need someone to direct more zoom room performances over phone? Or real time physical performance post covid? The history aspect really sounds interesting, could be a fiction and documentary merge.
Wow, this sounds incredibly cool and timely! It does sound like a good PBS submission. Do you have any PBS contacts?
