Hi all,
I joined Stage32 as an Executive just a couple of weeks ago, and I have really enjoyed the consultations I have done so far! Such an incredible variety of TV and feature projects, and it's been truly a delight to meet and chat with writers all over the world. I'm struck by the energy and passion of Stage32 Members.
I am a producer looking for projects, but I am also a development consultant who absolutely loves to give advice on your script, even if I am not the right person to take the reins. I always say that my approach begins with your intention, and helping you to see where there might be a gap between that intention and what's on the page. My work is then to narrow that space, so that your script truly sings with what you want it to say. I've taken this approach successfully with all levels of writers, from experienced show runners and Oscar winners, to emerging writers, authors and playwrights.
I'm a TV pitch specialist with teaching expertise for USC's School of Cinematic Arts and the Sundance Institute's Artist Accelerator Program. I'm really looking forward to my Pitch Tank on July 9th. I am also offering a Virtual Pitch session on July 2nd.
Cheers!
Emmeline

Hi Emmeline! So great to meet you here! Thank you for such a thoughtful introduction. Your development philosophy really resonates with me. That focus on aligning intention with what’s on the page feels so essential, especially when working with vulnerable, layered material.
I’m Charlotte Verminck, a Belgian writer-director-producer-editor currently in the Stage32 Short Film Competition with my short film Mind of Thoughts, a psychological drama exploring the power of our thoughts and the silent battles we carry within. It premiered at the 25th Beverly Hills Film Festival and is now starting its international festival run.
Your background with USC, Sundance, and your insight into pitch development is incredibly inspiring. I’ve bookmarked your upcoming Pitch Tank and look forward to seeing more of your work! Would be amazing to stay in touch! Sending so much love your way!

Emmeline Yang Hankins Hi Emmeline, welcome to the best community of creatives in the industry - in my not so humble opinion! And happy IYW!
I love your focus on the writer’s intention and wondered why you think writers may have a blind spot between intention and realisation? What contributes to that dilemma?
Also, please let me introduce you to my fledgling company, International Imaginists. This is the website:
