I hope to work with everyone soon!!

Hi everybody! I would love to work rather than remain idle, so if you have any sort of project- even getting your books ready for the EOY- please contact me :-) Have calculator, will travel! I'm listed on IMDB below and am happy to send you a more detailed resume should you like one. I have many years film accounting experience: creating/finetuning budgets, setting up charts of accounts, AP, AR, handling all paperwork and filing, payroll, state incentive programs and so on. I look forward to hearing back from you soon, Ruby Dee Philippa Brooklyn, NY Tel.(206)605-3026 rubyphilippa@gmail.com http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5418674/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Hi everyone, it’s been a while! I’m Glenn Axelrod, and I’m thrilled to reintroduce myself. I’ve been busy honing my craft as an actor, model, and cybersecurity expert, and I’m eager to connect with all of you again. A bit about me: I’ve had rigorous training at John Casablancas International and other acting programs, giving me a dynamic range of techniques that help me excel in everything from gripping monologues to commanding commercial and spokesperson roles. I love tackling cold reads, teleprompter work, improvisation, and voice-overs—versatility is my strength, and I’m ready to perform at the highest levels in television and film. I’ve also had the privilege of attending Actors Academy and taking courses led by award-winning filmmaker and published author Chad Perkins. His teachings provided me with valuable insights into the world of acting, filmmaking, and casting. Through this, I’ve developed a deeper understanding of what distinguishes effective directors and explored various acting approaches, further broadening my perspective and enhancing my ability to contribute meaningfully to any project I undertake. I’m always looking to improve, as in this industry, there’s no such thing as being your best—the learning is dynamic, much like in my other profession of Cybersecurity, Governance, Risk, and Compliance for Fortune 500 companies. I’m also actively looking for people to critique my reels and work, because there’s only one direction in this industry—improve and go beyond your best. It’s like my fitness endeavors—you push to go beyond what you think your limits are at the gym. Whether acting or fitness, I’m always pushing to exceed my own expectations. Additionally, I’d like to see if Stage 32 is the right venue to ask if I could get some directors, screenwriters, or anyone else in the industry to critique my reels. Your feedback would be invaluable as I continue growing in my craft. I thrive in pressure-filled environments, which is why I gravitate toward productions like Chicago PD and Yellowstone. I bring emotional depth and physical presence to intense, high-stakes roles, delivering raw, authentic performances that stick with the audience long after the credits roll. On top of acting, I’m a passionate model with a strong background in runway, choreography, and photo posing. As a fitness enthusiast, I make sure to bring stamina and physicality to any role, especially those with action-packed scenes. In addition to my artistic pursuits, I’m a cybersecurity expert with certifications like Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), and I’m a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, having served in Operation Enduring Freedom. This unique background in problem-solving, discipline, and strategic thinking greatly influences my approach to every project I take on. I look forward to collaborating with more amazing people in this community and creating projects that inspire and captivate. Let’s make some magic together! Feel free to reach out—I’m always excited to connect with fellow creatives and professionals.

Hey everyone! I’m Khaled, originally from Amman, Jordan, where I was a Jordanian Royal Film Commission Member. My journey brought me to Cincinnati, Ohio, where I pursued an MBA in project management and now work as a creative leader and content creator. But, at my core, my heart belongs to the film industry. Filmmaking isn’t just a profession for me—it’s a passion that drives me. From storytelling to editing, there’s a special kind of joy in bringing ideas to life on screen. The creative process fuels my energy and keeps me connected to what I love most.

Hi everyone, I’m Thorsten Schade, writer, director, and producer of the internationally award-winning horror short film "The Invitation". Over the past four years, the film has received 209 awards, including six in Hollywood. I’m based in Germany and also work as an actor. In 2023, I had the honor of attending the First Glance Film Festival in Hollywood, where my film was screened.

I’ve recently completed my first feature-length script, "When JIM Met TIM", a horror-comedy, and I’m looking for collaborators, producers, and a production company to bring this project to life.

I started my career in a country that does not value talent. I wrote several plays, short films, and local songs over time, and since 2007, I have been in this field, waiting for an offer from a film company in my country. I even turned down offers from America. In return, I faced mockery, was ridiculed because of my state, and was called crazy and poor. But this did not prevent me from persevering and not giving up. I used that madness to create crazy characters that are now studied in international psychology schools.

But they do not know that this "madman" wrote four movies and TV shows in one month. They do not know that this "madman" can write a 10-episode series in a single week. They do not know that since 2007 until now, this "madman" has successfully written over a million scripts. They do not know that this "madman" succeeded in turning several video games into movies when the game company itself couldn’t do it. He challenged himself and found a way to bring Imhotep back from the underworld in "The Mummy" when the scriptwriter failed to do so.

So, praise the Lord for the blessings you have, because if I receive a job offer from a film company, I will dominate the film industry and prove to the world why I deserve the title of "The King of Writers" and "The Unstoppable Machine."

I have several projects in development which I am seeking funding. BOGIE & BACALL along with STANTON & ANTHONY.

We use this as an ice breaker sometimes when we have staff meetings here at Stage 32 so I thought this would be a great way to break the ice and get to know one another! Feel free to comment where you're from and what you're watching or have watched recently or what you may be looking forward to checking out.

To introduce myself...I'm Brandy. I have been with the Member Help Team here at Stage 32 since this past June, so I"m fairly new here.

I'm here in California, and I just finished watching season 2 of "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu. I love it! If you love a good and quirky "Wes Anderson" vibe but also love a good "whodunnit," you'll like it too.

Last film I saw in the cinema was "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice." As a die hard fan of the original film, I didn't go into it looking for a repeat of what had already been done. I'm glad some his the main character's story that was cut from the original story was included here and ya gotta love the nostalgia vibes brought on by the use of practical effects. Sometimes to move forward, you have to look back, knowhatimean?

I just saw the trailer for the upcoming version of "Nosferatu." The original film is over 100 years old so I'm excited to see who the filmmakers up the ante. I'm sure it was much easier to scare people in 1922 than it is now in 2024 lol I'm also looking forward to Blumhouse's production of "The Wolfman," as i am a diehard fan of the Universal Movie Monsters. I also really enjoyed the 2010 version with Benicio Del Torro. And Danny Elfman set off the drama nicely with an amazing score!

Hi everyone - I am an actor/dancer/singer and a writer under the name of JWT_Writer. I also own JWT_Productions and I have been able to represent my productions company so far at three network events so far this year. 2 in person and one online so far. I am currently in a radio play called The Rough Close Murder by Margaret Moxom which will be recorded on Friday and I am playing six characters -  John Bennett and PC Lloyd and Jury Foreman and Henry Latham and Court Announcer and Robert in the radio play called The Rough Close Murder written by Margaret Moxom. Margaret Moxom has written this radio play script based on her own book which is also called The Rough Close Murder. Unfortunately at this moment in time I don't know what radio it will be on but I thought it would get to be able to promote this. Thanks for taking time out of your day to read my post. 

I am Panos from the land of Gods..! hope u found my country right away
