Julia Cameron's THE ANIMAL IN THE TREES Will Receive a Private Industry Reading

Directed by Nick Demos, the reading will feature the talents of Amir Arison ("The Blacklist," "Girls") and Jessica Love (The River, The Snow Geese).

The Animal in the Trees tells the story of two poets who fall deeply in love. One of them suffers from manic depression. The medicine necessary to curb the disease also curbs poetry. Which will it be, poetry or love?
