Broadhumor Screenplay Lab - Saturday, June 14

Broadhumor is a festival of funny female filmmakers.

I was one of the actors reading the 2008 Screenplay Finalists for Broadhumor Screenplay Lab on Saturday, June 14, in the Studio at the Electric Lodge. The highlight for me was reading with Janina Gavankar, best known for her role as "Papi" on The L Word.

The writers select scenes from their scripts that they want to hear read aloud by a team of professional actors. The readings are for the writers, but are open to the public.

Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

I love this poem, and come back to it today. - V

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
