Hey Stage 32ers!

We love connecting our community to industry executives to help keep everyone up-to-date on what's happening in the industry and the fantastic opportunities available to help you bring your projects to life. So we talked to Stage 32 Thought Leader and Glass House Distribution President Tom Malloy about his experience making his upcoming film ASK ME TO DANCE, premiering October 7th, 2022, in theaters.

One phrase that sums up Tom's process on this film and his whole career, it's his "Vested Interest Approach." Investing in a project can happen in more ways than just financing. It's about time, connection, and resources too. Every person you meet or experience you have can lead to an opportunity later on. So, by leaning into his passion for dance, Tom could connect with people in a unique way to get his passion project made and into theaters.

And if you have specific questions for Tom, be sure to keep a lookout in the** Producing Lounge on October 4, 2022**, where Tom will join the Director of Community Shellie Schmals for an AMA with the Stage 32 community!
