Ernest Sandefer , so glad you're here! Bold, character-driven stories rooted in identity and liberation are exactly what this industry needs more of — keep writing them.
One of the best things you can do right now is start building your network here on Stage 32. Connect with fellow writers in the Screenwriting Lounge, engage with posts, and get your work in front of the right people. The community here is genuinely one of the most supportive in the business — and the relationships you build often matter just as much as the scripts themselves.
You've already got the most important thing: a distinct voice and stories worth telling. Now let's get them seen. Looking forward to watching your journey here!

Hey Ernest. Identity, resilience, community, and liberation are powerful themes to build from. What's the story you've written that best captures all four at once?

Hey Elle Bolan. Happy IYW to you, too! I tend to write dramas with a bit of comedy as well.

Hey Sam Rivera, I'd have to say the novel I'm working on now will best capture all four. My first novel mostly focuses on community and liberation, I believe.
Hello, Ernest Sandefer. Character-driven stories are brilliant. Identity, resilience, community, and liberation are very important to the factor. However, I have a couple of questions. Have you written Sincerity, heart, and comedy? And have you written animation screenplays before?
