A free and open forum. The place to discuss anything on your mind film, television and theater related…or not.
If you are not an established showrunner or writer with a track record in the industry, having a pitch bible or deck for your series is the main way to open doors to producers, managers and executives. And your first conversation with these collaborators and buyers is likely to involve you pitching...

Does anybody have a sample written pitch that they have used to pitch their film that I can look at? I am not sure how I should do a written pitch.
Thank you Kiril Maksimoski!
Stage 32 has a great sample written pitch for Star Wars (I think). When I did my first written pitch last year, I found that sample by searching the info or FAQs section for pitches in Stage 32 and/or emailing the right staff contact. It looks like Kiril has responded with a sample too.
Thanks Heidi Stock! Will do!
Hey Myna Sky - we actually have two new samples! Write to writerhelp@stage32.com and ask for the pitch samples and we'll get them right over to you....

Hello. I'm just wondering whether Stage 32 has a policy for reporting suspected catfish scams. I'm fairly new here, and 2 people have already reached out to ask me to send them work. I wanted to report one today but am glad to see that this "person" has already been suspended. I guess this is a risk...

I had Pierce Brosnan reach out to me too. Also been DM'd by someone with a very light profile who is asking some fairly odd questions. Sadly, I can't even get scammers to option my scripts haha!
Adam Harper Pierce obviously felt a little bereft of work, after ending his time with the Bond franchise. I hope you reached out and offered him some comfort!
Elaine Chang Huh. I must admit your comment leaves me a bit confused. I'd sort of imagined that one of the benefits of a place like Stage 32 is that folks can reach out to other folks to take a look a...

Stephen Notley: I hope that S32 is exactly the right place for work sharing, etc.! What I have a problem with is people pretending they're others--in fact, ripping off others' identities--in order to...

Elaine Chang Ah! Okay, I see the distinction. It's not that people are reaching out to you with interest in your work, but that they're pretending to be something they're not, posing as agents and pro...

Recently I spoken to a few people who have mentioned the benefits of being based on L.A. over the U.K. and the differences between the two, in terms of both networking, events and available work. Whilst it would be a massive relocation for me and would require a lot of planning, I am considering it,...

I’m looking to do a budget breakdown for a script. (Did I miss the Line Producer Certification Course?)
This is useful and I hope more clips are done. I would love to see something like this with John Wick to see how they wrote the fight scenes.
In this webinar you will learn how to identify the tone of your project, how to describe it in a pitch, and techniques for creating and maintaining tone in a script. Exploring this next-level element of screenwriting is producer, script consultant and educator Anna Henry.
Anna comes from a background...

Never underestimate the power of being READY when an opportunity knocks on your door. A reel can be the ticket to your next gig- and the absence of one might leave the impression that you are not a pro or not ready for the next level.

Great tips, Fran Harris! Thanks for sharing them!
I received an email from 'Stage32' thanking me for my education purchase ~ The problem is, I didn't purchase an education product in a few years. Where on this site can a fraudulent email be reported?

Same here. I think it's legit though
Hi, Chris Zyck. I get the same emails. They're legit. You getting the email might've been a mistake.
Is there a specific space hete for fiction writers who are looking to get their manuscripts made into screenplays?

Maurice- thank you for answering my question. I’ll look into the group.- Stacy
You're welcome, Stacy Leicht.
It's been good being part of Stage 32, though it is a Writers community foremost. I was thinking about finding another community-driven group for my specialty in the animation format, like WIA.
What would be y'all's advice for me? It WIA ok, is there another group you would recommend, or is this some...
