Introduce Yourself

I'm an optioned writer from the Midwest. I love meeting new writers and talking shop. I'm always up for learning from my writers. Never stop writing!

Hello. My name is Chase Carmichael.

I'm currently working on the bottle pilot episode for my pre-development concept.

However, as I am resting with severe allergies today. I thought of myself, what would be the best theme for an animation concept of my choice.

If I want to create a concept that targets younger male audiences (boys who are ages 7-12), then I would absolutely think of two or three ideas:

First idea: A rogue of good pirates seek to gain respect, teamwork, friendship, and resiliency to fight against the greedy corrupt pirates who keeps stealing precious items and coins from other Islanders in a travel around the islands. A fantasy, adventure animation.

Second idea: A misunderstood space pilots who fights for acceptance, teamwork, and discovering planets before they encountered a malicious corrupt space emperors who would tried to invade the planet and turn them into dystopian nightmarish planets if they don't protect and save them. Science-fiction, dramedy animation.

Third idea: The former thieves who are willing to give up doing heist plans and ends up become detectives who knew about their actions of stealing or manipulating business people and they must stop the greedy mercenaries and corrupt businessmen who always believes money and power is everything. Mystery but fun and safe, action/adventure, comedy animation.

These are my story ideas that will target younger male audiences.

And if I want the concepts to target younger female audiences (girls who are ages 7-12), then I would think of two ideas

First Idea: A rebellious princess and a sarcastic adventurer team up on the search of the ancient spells that will help out other villagers who are struggling to live up to their expectations or adventurers who would need to be feel accepted and shariing their emotions while trying to collect the spells and face the heartless sorcerer. Musical, fantasy, comedy animation.

Second idea: Two rabbit sisters are willing to help out on other girls with their appearance or their imaginations or even discuss their boy crushes. Coming-of-age, comedy animation.

That's all I can think of potentially on these two concepts but it has to be targeting different types of younger audiences. But right now, I'm busy on focusing on the current concept.

Which one does it best? Let's discuss it. One more thing: The world-setting has to be anthropomorphic animals only, no humans.

If you are a writer, which concepts do you prefer?

Greetings from sunny California or as we say it in Socal, What's up.

Been a while since I have posted so a reintroduction feels right. I'm a screenwriter for TV and features, and lately I've been adapting my stories into comicbook scripts. Right now I'm busy with editing my latest pilot. Picture 300 and Gladiator blending with the mythic engery of Lord of the Rings.

My writing pipeline has action, sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, and horror. I love blending genres.

My screenplays have a mix of romance, tension, some scares, and plenty of action & adventure.

My next project is an adventure-romance feature that is set in 1940s America. A story of two people fighting for eachother in a place that dictates who they are allowed to love.

My wife and I are a writing team, working together crafting stories for the past 5 years.

I'm ready to be more involved on Stage 32. Excited for conversations, receiving advice, and potential collaborations.

Cheers to bold ideas, fantastic worlds, and the stories we bring to life.

My name is Joe Ellis, and I’m a proud lover of cats, comics, and animation who learned early on that if the world doesn’t open a door for you, you can always build one yourself. That belief led me to create and self‑publish the Trifecta comic book series, turning a dream into reality. My work has made its way into major bookstores like Barnes & Noble, conventions such as San Diego Comic-Con, and even a few industry podcasts. I’ve since expanded into screenwriting, developing original feature and television scripts and adapting Trifecta for the small screen, all while trying to bring bold and diverse, character driven stories to life.

Hi everyone, my name is Amy. I’m a creative working across a few different projects right now, including music, an app Ally by AVEA (Aye-Vee-Aye) that will be released June 2026, and several screenplays that I’m continuing to develop and refine. One of my songs I’ve recently completed is called ‘I Am’ that will be released on Spotify iTunes, YouTube all major platforms May5th, 2026. I’m also working on two screenplays ‘AKIHIRO: THE BRIGHT ONES’ and ‘UNCOVERING COMETS’ I’m passionate about storytelling, ideas that inspire people, and creating things that can connect emotionally with others.

One of the most rewarding parts of being here has been the connection I’ve found with other creative people. The support, conversations, feedback, and shared motivation have been genuinely beneficial and encouraging. It’s helped me stay inspired, keep moving forward, and believe in the value of continuing to create.

I’m looking forward to connecting more, learning from others, and supporting fellow creatives on their journeys as well.

Hello Folks. This is what I've been doing this month - I'm expanding my skills, well attempting it! I am a longtime DGA Assistant Director, I've now written multiple screenplays for tv and film (winning awards even!) and most recently I was gifted a Commercial Acting Class - last one is tomorrow and it's going to start w a mock "callback" for a commercial so think of me, fingers crossed they "mock" hire me! It's been fun! Trying to keep learning!
