Introduce Yourself

Tim Juliano Welcome! Who's your favorite composer?? <3

Maurice, Uladzimir, and Rosie, thank you for being friendly! Maurice, I've signed up for the live event for Wednesday and am looking forward to that. Uladzimir, I will take a moment to look at your project and message you, and last but not least Rosie, you've asked a very difficult question. I have to give you my favorite composers by genre. For classical I often find myself listening to Debussy, Beethoven and Stravinsky. For film composer, I often find myself listening to Bernard Hermann, Thomas Neman, and Ennio Morricone. For fusion, I love Alan Holdsworth, for Jazz Wes Montegomery, and I was on a pretty long Polyphia kick for a while. I could go on, but I'm sure I've left everyone glassy eyed by now. Thank you all for asking! Do any of you have favorite composers?

Tim Juliano Of course!! I'm a huge Henry Mancini and John Williams fan! Howard Shore too! I love love love what compositions do for expressing emotion in films, it's huge <3

Me Too!! (but I guess that's obvious) I've had many times that a film score stopped me in my tracks and I felt compelled to listen to them over and over again. Great picks for composers. If you haven't heard it already, I highly recommend a track by Mancini called "Lujon" It's definitely a go to for me.

You're welcome, Tim Juliano. Great. I'll see you at the Open House.

Thanks for the question! At this stage, the project is non-commercial because I'm focusing on artistic collaboration and mutual growth. The idea is to create meaningful work without financial pressure, in the hope that it will lead to better opportunities in the future.

Roberto Tozzini SHUSH! Folk ballads? How amazing!

Hi, Christopher Daniel Soriano-Palma. It's nice to meet you. Thanks for introducing yourself to the community.

The biggest tip to get projects off the ground is network/build relationships (online and in person). It could lead to script requests, meeting requests, etc. Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world (www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...).

Hi, Maurice Vaughan Thank you for your help!

You're welcome, ChiChi June. Hope you make connections! I'm looking forward to seeing your films!

Hi, Salustiano Berrios. Hope you're enjoying your weekend and summer! What's your favorite genre(s) to act in and write?

Hi Maurice Vaughan ... so far so good. Favorite genres to write? Every single one but romance is the least of the bunch. Act? I'm too new to acting to know, so right now I'm enjoying every part I get. How about yourself?

I mainly write Horror and Action, Salustiano Berrios. Romance is my least favorite too, but I'll write a Romance script if the concept is interesting or the concept is mixed with another genre. Congratulations on the roles! Glad to hear you're enjoying every part you get.

Hello Alif Fajrian - so nice to meet you! Glad you're with us on Stage 32! I used to be an international marketing manager for a record company here in the states and I had an account in Indonesia who was also so kind and warm. I loved working with him. Please be sure to keep us updated on all you're doing!

I really enjoyed reading your introduction Galina Samoilova — especially your background in philosophy and film theory. That intersection between absurdity, routine, and deeper emotional truth is exactly where I find the most powerful cinematic moments, too.

Stanley Kubrick is actually my number one inspiration as a filmmaker. His control over tone, space, silence — and the way he turns stillness into tension — shaped the way I see not only cinema, but the world. I’ve rewatched his films endlessly and each time, I notice something I missed before.

Right now, I’m working on screenplays and visual concepts from Afghanistan, where access and communication with the industry can be quite difficult. Still, I believe there are ways — even from here — to build authentic connections and slowly move forward, especially by sharing our artistic voices and learning from one another.

I’d love to stay in touch and exchange ideas, especially since we seem to share a similar love for the invisible details that make cinema meaningful.

Looking forward to hearing more about your work and journey.

Oh! I'm so glad to hear that Muhammad Abed Baryal ! It's incredible! i mean Afganistan/ This proves once again that cinema is not concentrated in one place and there are people all over the world who are burning with their passion and idea! I hope our paths will cross again along the way! I didn't know that anyone would be interested in my work (they were skeptical at the university, I can understand them)), but soon I'm going to translate the entire text of my thesis and possibly post it here

James Woodland simply, the desire to make a childhood dream come true)

I remember watching Full Metal Jacket when I was younger, Galina Samoilova. Maybe a kid or teen. I probably didn't understand some things about the film back then. I've been meaning to watch Clockwork Orange. I've heard people rave about it.

Maurice Vaughan Yes, almost all of Kubrick's films need to be watched at least twice, because you don't immediately grasp all the moments and details. "Full Metal Jacket" is one of the examples of cult cinema for me. And I like "A Clockwork Orange" because of how Kubrick changed the novel.

Hi, Daniel Silvas. Welcome back. Sorry to hear that happened to your profile. Those are fantastic reasons to write!

Hi my friend,

Just wanted to share a quick update — I’m currently working on several short film treatments to submit to Israeli film funds, with the goal of securing financing for my next project.

At the same time, as a screenwriter, I’m also developing a few ideas for a feature film. Lots of creative energy flowing these days!

Hope all is well on your end — let’s stay in touch.

Kind hello, respected colleague Alexander Genrikhovich. Hope you are doing great and companies meet your genre bias and appreciate your stylistix. I keep my fingers crossed for your next long featuring. Where can I read more of it/dialogue lists perhaps? Plz don't eliminate new synopses from viewing, I diligently read them when it turns quiet. Would you like the English featuring translator? Warm welcoming. Anechka. I think of you at this instant. datteri@yandex.ru

Please keep in touch but avoid extra linkage with former projects, okay? Take care sweetie.

Alexander Detkov what project are you wanting to work with a cohort for? What theme?

Hi Alexander. Im working with a director here in Israel on a 5 part mini series. I have a great idea but need a good scriptwriter (in Hebrew). In fantasy, spiritual - with themes of reincarnation, loss and transcendence. Interested? Daniel - 0584075523

Maurice Vaughan Thanks Maurice. I appreciate the kind words. I will definitely familiarize myself with the blog.

You're welcome, Gary Naccarato. I'm a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. If you ever have any questions about Stage 32, let me or another Lounge Moderator know. We have badges on our pictures. Or you could email support@stage32.com.

Maurice Vaughan Him Maurice. Quick question. Does Stage 32 have a Mindset & Motivation lounge or section on the site?

Stage 32 doesn't have a Mindset & Motivation Lounge, Gary Naccarato, but you could send a suggestion to support@stage32.com.

Hi Gary,

It's great to see you're back at it. I'm actually new at this and have a great element for a series that I think people will find intriguing. Believe me it's my life and based all off true events.

if you'd like I'd love to share my first page prologue to you.

Your background is very impressive. Glad to see you're putting yourself back out there and into the industry.

Regards,

Jodi
