Film Independent Live Read presents a celebrated, no-intermission staged reading of a film’s script, often featuring a guest director and a star-studded cast. Some editions include musical direction or special performances, as seen in Live Read: Singles. The program originated from Jason Reitman’s vision and was historically hosted by Elvis Mitchell from 2011–2019. Since 2019, Film Independent has revived the series in Los Angeles, with editions hosted at notable venues such as The Wallis in Beverly Hills and LACMA. The ongoing partnership with The Wallis continues to bring intimate, high-profile interpretations of beloved films to life.
