Introduce Yourself

Hi Hanan,

You’re not in the wrong place. Many people in the film world come from outside traditional writing or acting backgrounds. Loving stories, cinema, and being a strong observer and listener are meaningful foundations.

If your goal is to share an idea and collaborate with an experienced or well-known writer or producer, communities like Stage 32 can be a starting point for those connections. It may take time to find the right match, but being open and clear about your vision and expectations helps others understand how they might work with you.

Wishing you the best as you explore this path and connect with the right collaborators.

Welcome to the S32 Club, Kerilie McDowall.

Hi Kerilie,

Welcome to Stage 32, great to have you here.

I’m a writer and creative director developing original story worlds and narrative-driven projects, often working at the intersection of storytelling and music.

I always enjoy connecting with fellow multi-hyphenate creatives and look forward to seeing what you’re working on and crossing paths around the Lounge.

Hi, Hanan Abdelaal. Happy New Year! You're right. It's a lot. I bookmarked your post and website.

Hi, Ruby Con. You're right. A good film starts with a good screenplay. What's "Christina von Eibingen and the Grail of the Teutonic Order" about?

Hi Smaragd and Maurice, I'm writing in English now so it's easier to understand. I'm looking forward to meeting like-minded people! And Maurice, my name is Ruby Con; without the "GmbH" (limited liability company), that was added by the translator, but it has nothing to do with me.

Hi, Ruby Con. Thanks for translating your comment to English. Stage 32's next Community Open House is tomorrow the 28th. It'll help you make connections. Producers, directors, executives, writers, and more. It's free to sign up. You can find out more in this blog: www.stage32.com/blog/whether-youre-new-or-a-longtime-member-the-stage-32...

Even if you can’t make it to the Open House live, sign up and you’ll get the recording in your Stage 32 Education Library when it’s available.

You could post your scripts on your profile. Producers search profiles for projects. That and networking are how I sold four short scripts to a producer. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your scripts on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Hi Emerald, welcome out of lurk mode! That John Hughes / Nora Ephron / Diablo Cody with a demonic twist pitch is fantastic—great way to set expectations and voice.

Glad to have you here, and it’s awesome to hear you want to contribute to the community. Looking forward to seeing your work and your takes around the Lounge.

Hi Maurice,

Thank you so much for the valuable information. I've uploaded my five scripts to Loglines for now. I'll register with the stage-32 community later, when I have time.

Regards, Ruby Con

You're welcome, Ruby Con. Great. See you at the Community Open House!

Hello, Sahib Bains. Welcome to the community. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Financing/Crowdfunding Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're introducing yourself, promoting your project, and the ways to connect with other members in the discipline Lounges (Financing/Crowdfunding Lounge, Producing Lounge, Filmmaking/Directing Lounge, etc.) are making helpful/educational posts and commenting on other people’s posts. Let me know if you have any questions.

Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world. Executives, producers, directors, writers, actors, and more. www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

Hi, Haroon Javed. Great to meet you. Welcome to the community. I write Action and Thriller scripts too.

Stage 32's next Community Open House will be January 28th. It'll also help you navigate the platform and make connections. You can sign up for free here: www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32s-january-2026-community-open...

Stage 32 has a Screenwriting Lounge where you can get advice, ask questions, share tips, find resources, and get feedback (www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting).

Hi Haroon Javed, welcome to Stage 32. I’m Ashley, Head of Community here, and I’m really glad you’re jumping in.

High-stakes action and thrillers that stay grounded in character are absolutely a sweet spot right now. When the emotional engine is just as strong as the set pieces, those stories tend to travel far and resonate longer. It sounds like you’re very clear on your lane, which is a huge advantage at this stage.

I highly recommend spending regular time in the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) and the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing). Those are two of the most active spaces for writers developing features and looking to connect with producers, collaborators, and industry insight. Posting loglines, asking craft questions, and engaging in other members’ threads is one of the best ways to build visibility and real relationships here.

If you have specific goals around development, pitching, or next steps, our Success Team is also a great resource and can help point you toward the right opportunities inside Stage 32. You can contact them by emailing Success@Stage32.com.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work and watching your projects grow within the community.

Hey Haroon Javed - Happy IY Weekend! Glad you're with us. If you ever need personalized support on the platform, here's how to reach out: https://www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-get-help-from-stage-32-meet-the-team...

Hi, Haroon Javed.

"...a passion for crafting high-stakes, character-driven stories. I focus on ACTION, THRILLER Features, blending compelling plots with deeply human characters."

Nicely said, that's my goal, too. Best Regards.

Welcome.

Thank you so much! I have to admit , I was or still am struggling with navigating this site, but I successfully updated my profile and made my introduction! I will definitely check out these links !

You're welcome, Sara Karlene Bagwell. Great. There's a description under the title in each Lounge that'll tell you what goes in that Lounge. And if you're still not sure or you ever have questions about Stage 32, let me or another Lounge Moderator know. We have badges on our pictures. Or you could email support@stage32.com.

Hi Sara, welcome. Your writing has a quiet intensity to it, very reflective and emotionally grounded. Those lines sit in that space where love and fear overlap, which isn’t easy to capture honestly.

It’s great to hear you’re drawn to visuals and concept-driven work as well. That combination of poetry, emotion, and imagery can translate powerfully across mediums. Wishing you meaningful connections here and looking forward to seeing what you share next.

B.A Sins this is the more of the writing from those lines I got more to it but I think I have a gift of saying alot in little amount of words that doesn’t feel rushed or forced it’s my superpower! but if you didn’t mind readings little more I pasted some more of the lines from that one below

I wanted to give you a home.

I wanted more for you than what I had known.

I worked to provide, but wasn’t present when I was home.

I never saw you were hurting.

I thought you were just quiet.

I thought you just kept to yourself.

You never added stress; you stayed out of the way.

Your brothers and sister were so wild and loud, they took up so much of me.

I ended up leaving you alone by yourself, and for that I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for all the words I never said.

I apologize for everything I never did.

I regret all the things I didn’t know.

It breaks me knowing now you felt alone in your own home.

That really is a gift, and you’re right to trust it. Saying this much with such restraint takes instinct, not technique. None of it feels rushed or padded; it lands because you let the silence do some of the work.

These lines hurt in a quiet, honest way, especially the realization moments (“I thought you were just quiet”/“You never added stress”). That kind of hindsight carries real weight, and the apology feels earned, not performative.

If you keep leaning into that economy of language, you’re going to keep hitting people right in the chest. This is strong work.

Hello, Lina Coutinho. Welcome to the community. I hope you're doing great! Fantasy is one of my favorite genres to write and watch.
