The main focus of this site is film. No issues with that and 'Hi' to everyone who commits their creativity to video and/or celluloid :)
I'm a Malta-based UK-born creative entrenched in that old old artform without which film, tv, radio would not exist - the theatre.
I would love to hear from other theatre-types from across the Globe.
Is there a project or potential collaboration? In the UK, here in Malta or where you are, I would be interested in discussing.
And if you want to know about me check me out at www.ianmoore.biz
Glad you are here, and yes there is definitely potential for collaboration. Add me to your network (I sent a request) and let's talk!
Hey, Ian Moore! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you! I started out in theatre, actually, and other live events. I think you'll find there is a lot of crossover with our writers and actors for sure.
I was looking over your profile, but you don't have much there. Maybe you could use part of this post in your bio! I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely reach out on the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) for insight into characters, dialogue, and even when you want to generate interest in a virtual table read! Actually, I'd love for you to start a post using your expertise as an Acting Teacher! Is there something actors at home could do to keep their skills sharp?
There is also a post with some great advice on how to keep your voice in good working order while on hiatus I thought you might enjoy as an actor: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting/Maintaining-vocal-health-during-st...
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.

I would like to know if you are producing plays
See below the synopsis of each of them
The Young People's Plays
This is a collection of short plays that mirrors the life of young
students from the Nursery to the primary (or elementary), all the way
to secondary (or High School) levels. With didactic intents, the plays
aimed to educate, inspire and entertain readers and audience whose
love for young people growing up to be responsible adults is a
priority.
Each play has its synopsis, characters and the subsequent story

The Success Story
Greg is the best of all students in his department - The department of
Mechanical Engineering at the University of Perth. However, he is
dissatisfied, despite being the best student in his department. But he
experiences a turnaround when he reads the book, ‘’Find Your Way Back”
at the place where his friend and course mate, Harp, lives. He
eventually becomes what he had ever dreamt of—a Successfully Published
author. Though Greg faces discouragement finding a publisher, he
becomes the success he presently is, through the support of his
family, especially his sister, Jane, Head of Department, Dr Tim Yale
and friend, Harp

Title: What Are We Leaving Behind? (A Play)
Synopsis
James is worried about the discrepancy of his income not meeting up
with his expenses. Johnson, though unemployed, is appreciative of his
situation. Alex is employed and doing well but he's not fulfilled; he
is concerned if this would be what he'd leave behind.
Anita, Esther and Sylvia are at logger heads with each because the
world's influence is affecting their belief in Christ. Will James find
a last solution to his predicament? Will the ladies find succor in the
word of God?
The play, ''What Are We Leaving Behind'' tells us how the affairs of
the world system tends to creep into the minds, through thoughts and
actions, of young Christians but avails them the opportunity to stand
strong in faith, despite their familiarity with the things going on in
the world they live in.

Are You Saved? (Yes I Am)Synopsis
Venue: The Multi-purpose Hall of The Fountain of Truth Church,
Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Venue of the Three-day 6th Annual Meeting (Day
Three )
Margaret Hare, the ''last'' testifier, brings to Rev. Michael Xhosa's
remembrance is past deed---raping her and her younger sister while in
Zimbabwe. He is almost losing composure in the presence of the entire
congregation but God makes use of the programs Anchor to divinely
inspire him to the reality of who he is... in the light of God's word.
His confidence is gained and his ''unusual'' sermon
begins.Interestingly, Margeret Hare's testimony becomes the
inspiration behind his unusual sermon: 'Are You Saved? (Yes, I Am)'
SUMMARY
Margaret Hare's heartfelt testimony is bringing to questioning Rev.
Michael Xhosa's salvation, in relation to his evil past: Are You
Saved? A question he has to answer evidently...in the presence of his
congregation
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
David is in the business of regularly beating up Sylvia black and blue
and asserting derogatory words at her. Anita’s counsel isn’t helping
matters either, as Sylvia contends with her advice. However, Johnson’s
uncompromising words are targeted towards David turning a new leaf
towards his wife. Tom and Michelle are the obviously not happy with
their dad’s behavior.
It comes to a time when David would have to give up the habit of
abusing Sylvia and become a role model to his children---On Mother’s
Day---a point where reconciliation is inevitable.
I look forward to your reviewing them

Personally, I find that live theater actors are difficult to work with in film; this is especially so with the more skilled live theater actors. I greatly admire their talent and skill but I don't think it translates to film very easily...yes, there are a few exceptions, but very few.
Doug Nelson Really? I find entirely the opposite, and with very, very few exceptions. Interesting.
