Introduce Yourself

Hi All!

Just a quick introduction. I'm a professional actor turned aspiring screenwriter. Wrote and produced a short film (The Pony Man) several years ago. It played at a few small festivals but gave me the writing bug. Moved from LA to Savannah GA for work and am now picking up screenwriting again. I've written a few scripts and really focused on polishing my skills and collaborating and working with talented people in the industry.

I'd love to connect with any friendly, passionate, and professional industry people for support and collaboration.

Best,

John

Hello Stage 32,

If your career feels stalled, mismanaged, or one bad decision away from disappearing, you are not alone—and you are not crazy. My name is Daniel Von Wurzbacher, better known as 10% Dan, and I am the Founder and Managing Principal of Advent Management.

I spent over a decade as a licensed agent, sitting on the other side of the desk—submissions, negotiations, packaging, and the conversations most talent never hears. Now I use that knowledge to protect talent, build leverage, and move careers forward.

I also happen to be a U.S. Army veteran, currently serving in the U.S. Army New York National Guard, and a member of Veterans in Media & Entertainment. Translation: I operate with discipline, accountability, and zero tolerance for excuses—mine or yours.

At Advent Management, I work as a talent manager, publicist, and producer, helping actors, writers, comedians, voice talent, filmmakers, and multi-hyphenates stop guessing and start executing. That includes branding, positioning, submissions, publicity, packaging, and capital raising. If a project needs money, structure, or credibility, I help make it finance-ready.

What I actually do:

Fix broken career strategy

Package talent and projects so buyers pay attention

Raise and structure capital the right way

Develop IP and get it market-ready

Tell you the truth—even when it is uncomfortable

I am not here to sell dreams or hand out participation trophies. I work with people who are ready to treat this like a business and themselves like a product worth investing in.

I joined Stage 32 to connect with serious creatives and industry professionals who want results, not noise. If you are looking for representation, guidance, or a producer who understands both the street level and the boardroom, we should talk.

Because hope is not a strategy—but leverage is.

I am so honored and excited to be here. Wish I joined earlier.

I love this business, this industry and this work with every ounce of my being. I love what I do almost as much as I love my brilliant creative flawless partner and my beautiful children.

And Remember..

You Cannot be an entertainment sensation without goooooooood representation!

BOOM!

Hello,

John Waring here. Screenwriter soaking up the craft. Feeling good after recently winning Best Feature for my Dramedy, "Gram Cracker".

Always writing, always learning, and networking, looking to connect with anyone and everyone on their own unique journey.

With lots of scripts under me and with some recent successes, I'm looking to also connect with any producers or managers who may be in search of some new writers and material. Please, feel free to message, reply, or connect in anyway, and let's all help each other to move to the next step.

Thank you, looking forward to a great year!

Hey All!

My name is Paul Russell Smith. I'm a WGA screenwriter with 30 years of experience, as well as a former story analyst. My feature, "Grace Point", is currently streaming on Amazon and AppleTV, and I'm currently at work on 3 separate collaborations with private clients. I'm also a staff writer and editor at Popular Mechanics.

I'm living proof that no one gets work written, sold, and produced without A LOT of help, guidance, and mentorship along the way. Please feel free to connect with me and ask questions or to simply say "Hello!"

I firmly believe that 2026 is going to be a Gold Rush for content creators. I'd love to hear what writers are doing to prepare for it!

Hi,

I'm Kipsang Amos from Kenya and I'm in the process of opening a new post-production studio hopefully by the end of this month. I just want to say Happy New Year to you.

My name is Jeremy I am just starting out to become a film maker. I am currently working pre production on a short film as well as a feature. The feature film came to my mind first but figured I will give a short film a try first as for not as much goes into making a short film compared to a feature film. Right now I am just working with an IPhone 16 Pro Max that I plan to shoot my short film on but I plan to upgrade to a Sony FX3 for my feature film.

I absolutely adore my family and do everything I can with them. I work full time at a prison as a Correctional Lieutenant. The job can be demanding at times and it is hard to lose focus at times but I am pushing through with my ideas of becoming a film maker.

Hi everyone!

My name is Fabio Cansian Netto, and I’m thrilled to join this community of creators. I am an author and screenwriter currently focused on the development of high-concept animated features.

I’m here to introduce my latest project: "The Princess of Esmeraluna." It is a 94-minute animated epic centered on the intertwined destinies of Princess Luna and King Orion. This universe has been meticulously crafted to balance deep emotional resonance with a grand, cinematic scale. My creative philosophy is always to stay "100% in the book," ensuring that the narrative integrity and the soul of the characters remain the top priority from script to screen.

I am looking to connect with animation producers, development executives, and sales agents who are passionate about original, world-building IPs that aim for the highest standards of international storytelling.

I'm excited to learn from this community and share more about the world of Esmeraluna with you all. Feel free to reach out or check my profile for more details!

Best regards,

Fabio Cansian Netto Author & Screenwriter

Hello everyone!

I'm so excited to join this wonderful community. I'm an author and screenwriter (at least in my mind I am) focused on developing my skills and finishing projects.

I recently polished up a draft which I'm calling a "second draft" because I'm sure there's a lot more to do, and I'm eager to share my work and learn from others as I develop this and future projects.

I'm also a budding voice actor, which is something that grew out of character development and far more years than I care to define spent playing and D&D games.

Please reach out if you have questions about my current project (linked to my profile) or just want to say "hi".

All the best!

Hello Stage 32, my name is Warren, and I am new to Film making. My experience is in writing for the Federal Government, as a Human Resources Specialist. With that being said, I want to take those writing skills that I have learned from the Federal Government and convert them to the big screen. Thank you for taking the time to read my page.

Hello Everyone,

I am a director, producer, and screenwriter. I am so appreciative of Stage 32 for hosting this "Introduce Yourself" event -- and hope you all enjoy successful networking this weekend (and beyond).

I am currently looking for a compatible fellow screenwriter to collaborate on a project I am developing -- especially a filmmaker who's also interested in teaming up for film production. The genre is Comedy/Gangster in the vein of "Get Shorty" (/or any of Guy Ritchie's British gangster films like "RocknRolla", "Snatch", and "The Gentlemen", etc.).

If interested in discussing this further --- please send me a message.

Thanks for your time and consideration and thanks again to Stage 32 for this opportunity to network with such talented individuals.
