Introduce Yourself

It was a wonderful night! Thank you for coming out, Jessica Calvello! And for allowing me to gush about how much I love Attack on Titan. I can't promise I won't ask you more questions about it in the future.

Hi Antuan! What's your favorite movie?

Pat Alexander Hey, of this great Batman Saga my fav is THE DARK KNIGHT, I loved the concept they used, although ultimately the best thing about the script was that they kept an essentially fragile Batman.

Maurice Vaughan In actually working on some scripts for content. ✍️

Sherri ZImmerman Awsome i Will share a few things going down.

Cool, Antuan Martínez. How are your scripts coming along? And are you excited for "The Batman Part 2"?

Children JUST ARRIVED into the Earth plane directly from Spirit... And could teach us so much our heads would spin!!

It IS the children who can revolutionize our world in a very short time, in a heartbeat!!

Okay Eon. I called video twice now. Not sure if I'm doing it right! You might need to call me!

Visuals are always key! Readers need visuals to help shape the images the writing describes in our minds!

Pat Alexander, you're welcome! And of course the other comments. We tend to forget, visuals are what has helped us from the day, as an infant, we opened our eyes! We saw our parents smiles and began learning about the world around us. Get "the descriptions" of "those visuals" wrong however (influence etc.,) then the results are negative. Fascinating, we are reminded, the world of film and entertainment!

hi Sarah Jones ! I'm also from Central PA! Congrats on all your success so far! I really liked the Oppenheimer webinar held on here just recently, and all the feedback I've gotten from colleagues in the screenwriting lounge has been very constructive. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Welcome, so glad you’re here. I have found that being part of a writers’ group where you can get and give feedback is so helpful.

Hi Sarah,

Welcome! Best of luck!

Hi @Sarah Jones, nice to meet you! And happy to hear you're back on the writing train! Choo Choo!

Hello Sarah Jones, make it happen! Pitch tank is a great resource for when you are ready to sharpen your pitching of your project. Since I started here, I have had my projects quarterfinal and even semifinal in a few competitions. I thought I was ready to pitch, and I spent a little time pitching and a lot of time getting feedback from execs. The thing I have learned is every note mainly taught me how to find a good mentor that fits how I think and write. It seems everyone has a different opinion, especially when you start pitching and that can lead you down a lot of rabbit holes. For me, once I feel really good about my project and know it fits current professional standards, as my mentor lets me know, then I will return to pitching with the knowledge I am going for the sale and not for a rewrite. Those are my two cents from my experience so far.

How are you doing, Mazahir Rahim? What are you working on?

Where you're from? Name of a movie you're producing? Give us more! :)

Hi Carmen, happy to network!

How do you shoot film over zoom call?

The zoom call will be recorded, Jed. If anyone is interested, feel free to join our WhatsApp. https://chat.whatsapp.com/GZN4phjqCiG0on9yfHMJZP

Welcome to Stage 32 Carmen, great to have you here!

Hi stage 32 friends, I am planning a short shoot for my script in plain sight. It will be the first of I believe to be three. I am looking to find some of the very talented actors that are right in our midst. I have the venue and some wonderful people who would like to work with us already. What I am looking for is to set up a Zoom and have a read to see how the lines flow and to narrow down who the best candidates would be. From there the candidates would memorize their lines and practice with the others chosen. Then it is on to the shoot. We are looking for actors in the New York City area. Contact me via message on stage 32 for more details. It is a non-paid role but if you're looking to have your face on screen and gain experience this is a great way to start. Message me for more info.
