Public Reading of Bill’s Script, Incarnation
The Minnesota Screenwriters Workshop has chosen Incarnation to be part of its prestigious ScriptNight Reading Series. The script, written by Bill from an original story by feature film director Dean Hyers and Bill, will be read by professional actors hailing from both the Twin Cities and Hollywood. The staged reading will be directed by Hyers.
The reading is set for Tuesday, July 8, at 7:30 PM at the Ritz Theatre, 345 13th Ave. NW, Minneapolis, MN. The event is open to the public, and tickets are available at the door for $10.
Hollywood actor John Ashton (Beverly Hills Cop and Gone Baby, Gone), who appeared as the title character in Hyers’ debut feature, Bill's Gun Shop, is scheduled to appear. At press time, other Hollywood actors are being considered and will be announced as they commit.
Incarnation focuses on the story of Harry Bayer, who, after years of searching, stands at the brink of confirming a six-year-old girl, Shanice, is the reincarnation of his wife. But his only avenue to reach her—Polly, the girl’s fractured mother—just lost custody. As Harry helps Polly pick up the pieces of her life, they unexpectedly fall for each other. Then FBI agent Artie Neckman arrives on the scene and raises suspicions that point to Harry being a potential danger to Shanice.
The ScriptNight reading series, produced by Robb Mitchell and Mark Gallagher, runs 3-4 times per year. Recent presentations include scripts from John Carrol Lynch (Zodiac), Shawn Otto (House of Sand and Fog), and Christine Walker (Factotum).
