Husslup, the talent discovery platform founded by former Amazon exec H Schuster, has established a number of initiatives designed to help writers and freelance creatives during the writers and actors strikes.
These include script development workshops, a trans creatives working group and a new AI hiring tool. The Hussulp Script Development Workshops will help diverse writers develop spec scripts.
Launching in September, it will see actors read the scripts to a small audience of members who will provide feedback. The first two scripts that will be read are Quick, Quick, Slow, a queer, two-step romantic comedy in the vein of Footloose-meets-Priscilla Queen of the Desert, by Jett Garrison and The Big Coconut, a feature by Mexican-American writer Randy Gordon-Gatica.
The readings will be executive produced by Samantha Sprecher, who spent 20 years at Billy Crystal’s production company and produced Jennifer Esposito’s debut feature Fresh Kills, which premiered at Tribeca 2023.
