The cast of the November 8th reading consisted of: Michele Ang - http://www.acirclespinning.com/ Jennifer Betit Yen - http://www.imdb.com/ Perry Tsao - http://www.imdb.com/ Monisha Shiva - www.monishashiva.com Geeta Citygirl - http://www.GeetaCitygirl.com Jinn S.

Screenwriter, Genevieve Castelino, stated: "Workshopping a script is one of those frightening but necessary experiences in a writer's journey: you put your beloved baby in front of a room full of people and ask them to judge it. A writer wants a room full of supportive, perceptive and well informed people to give you honest and constructive critique of your work. At the end of it you want to be so fired up, so inspired, that you can't wait to get home to that otherwise dreaded rewrite. That's what the AAFL Unfinished Works did for our screenplay BREACHED. The Liz Lerman workshop technique they use is so precise and insightful in identifying both strengths and weaknesses. This is how supportive they are - the day after the reading we are still getting emails from people writing in thoughts and ideas that came to them after they left the reading. We can't thank the Asian American Film Lab enough for giving us this platform to share our work.” About Chakra Media Group and “Breached” Chakra Media Group was founded by Genevieve Castelino , who spent the last 20 years working in various media forms.
