Hello from Seattle!
I first heard about Stage 32 after watching the webinar with Chris Mack from Netflix, and after that, it was a no-brainer to join!
I'm new to screenwriting but I have been doing standup comedy for quite a while. A rebel "girl" born during China's one-child policy, I have always been an outsider and the one who beats the odds. I came to American by myself 16 years ago and worked my way up to be a leader in tech (Microsoft, Hulu, Disney), only to discover my true passion in standup comedy and creative writing. In a world that's divided more than ever, my passion is to bridge cultures and empower immigrants through authentic storytelling.
In Feb 2021, I left my day job at Hulu so I can focus on standup and screenwriting fulltime. Very glad that I found Stage 32, I hope to make more connections here!

Hey Bernice! Wonderful story.
Like you, I was introduced to the platform through Chris Mack, and then realised the great community of people that are sourced here. I am predominantly a screenwriter, so I would be happy to help you to tell your vision.
Hope you are doing well!

Hi, Bernice Ye, WOW what a great story! It's inspiring to hear about your steps to chase your passions over everything. What genres are you interested in writing?
Thank you so much for the warm welcome everyone :) Hello Monica! Starting off, I’m writing a tv pilot for a 30 min dramedy. I like telling stories serious/dark stories with humor which is something i do in my standup comedy too. Just finished my first draft and will work on my rewrite. As I learn my skills and craft better, I want to work my way up to drama and full feature too.
