Hi Everybody! I am Jessica, screenwriter & aspiring/soon-to-be director. Was pursuing an acting career until the sudden & tragic death of my father plus an awol husband in 2011 caused me to move into pure survival mode to raise my daughter on my own. But now I’m back! Currently working on a second draft of an animated feature film I wrote about frogs. Also have written two animated shorts as well as another scripted short that is aimed to go into production this year. The animated world is a tough one to break into but I’ve got high hopes and great ideas! Would love to connect with like minds. And congrats to all of us for staying productive and sane during this crazy time!

Hey, Jessica Mei Gershen! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. If you'd like to learn more about myself and the Stage32 Team, we have an intro blog: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Meet-the-Stage-32-Team Nice to meet you and welcome back to the community! Wow, what an intense story - but how incredible the way you've kept moving forward with your projects! So inspiring! Keep at it and keep us posted!
I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but I think you'll also enjoy meeting like-minded creatives in the Animation Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/animation)! Actually, have you met Bob Harper? He often posts in the Animation Lounge, but has reintroduced himself in the Introduce Yourself Lounge for our monthly event. You should introduce yourself to him! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/introduce_yourself/Hello-Again-Again-2
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time. Cheers!
I just left him a comment! Thanks so much for that suggestion. I will also check out the animation lounge and rest of the community!
