Hi, Henry Tulden. Welcome to the community. 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-...

I suggest adding a profile picture of yourself. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you. You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture."

Thrillbillies sounds hilarious! I love the title! I'd definitely watch your show!

I'm so glad you've joined us! I can't wait to see what you create!

Welcome :) È un’idea di sceneggiatura molto particolare e sensibile, quindi studiare bene struttura e tono sarà fondamentale per non risultare predicatorio. Può aiutare cercare articoli di sceneggiatura che spiegano bene come funziona tutto, dalla costruzione dei personaggi al tema. Così puoi trasmettere il messaggio senza sacrificare ritmo e conflitto narrativo.

Great, thank you!!!

You're welcome, Gloria Sabra.

Hello Gloria, you're almost 50 years late to this Type of Screenwriting. The First Black Epic Sci-Fi Story (The Third Eye) was written by Sophia Stewart back at USC in 1980 when she dated Muhammad Ali. Never heard of her? Well, you know her work as The Terminator and The Matrix Franchises. This is her Description of her work, "I Wrote The Matrix as the Second Coming of Christ, what would that look like?" She asked this question and wrote her story back in 1980 and she predicted the coming of the Digital Age, Computers, The Internet, Downloads, and Streaming Platforms. This was before Post-It Notes, before the PC (Personal Computer), the CD, and other things we take for granted. In addition, The Matrix is the Story of Christ and Star Wars is the Story of the Devil (these words came out of George Lucas' mouth himself). However, when you think about it, I'm sure someone wrote in this Genre before Sophia Stewart dominated Modern Science Fiction from the 80s until our present day. Now that you know the history of this Genre, you can move forward and put your OWN SPIN AND FLAVOR AND SWAG in this genre.

No one will know the hour or time... I would say focus on telling stories with a human element. Have you watched The Chosen series? Or the film The Senior. Faith based with humanity.

Welcome back to writing, Michael! Your diverse career path—from USC CNTV to reality TV editing to music business to anime conventions—gives you a unique creative perspective that'll serve your storytelling well. Top 4% on Coverfly for MEANWHILE... is solid validation, and a Christmas heist comedy sounds commercially smart. Tennessee represent! Looking forward to seeing your work in the community.

You’ve had a cool path Michael Elder ! What was your experience like working in reality TV? I sold sold a premium unscripted show to USA and really enjoyed the process.

Amanda Toney I have a few war stories from my very first season of TV, fresh out of college and willing to work 5:00 PM - 2:00 AM just to get my foot in the door. It's very weird being down the line on a show that's filming in a different city than where you're editing, like a game of telephone. I'm grateful for every show and every season I worked on, because I had to work fast and be insanely accurate in my work.

Michael Elder I hope the South is treating you well! My southern background finds itself surfacing in so much of my writing, many times intentionally but sometimes by happenstance. Keep us up to date on your projects and successes!

Darrell Pennington There are so many stories to be told here and a huge audience for them! I hope your background gets seen as the advantage it is; we need more awesome Southern stories.

Hello Maurice. You recently moved my post from the Filmmakers Lounge to Introduce Yourself, which confuses me. I am already a member of this community and as such had already introduced myself. I am specifically attempting to attract a Producer or Director to this opportunity, so I don't understand why my post was moved. Thank you,

Michael Valente

Hi, Michael Valente. You can introduce yourself over and over. I moved your post from the Filmmaking/Directing Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge because you're introducing yourself and promoting your script, and the ways to connect with other members in the discipline Lounges are making helpful/educational posts and commenting on other people’s posts.

And sorry, I put "I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Filmmaking/Directing Lounge to the Your Stage Lounge" on your post that I moved, but I meant to put "I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Filmmaking/Directing Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge." I just went back and changed it.

James Doane This is so exciting! Shifting focus to fully embrace your original dream of animation is a huge and inspiring step. The fact that you're taking on all the creative roles for your project and is a testament to your passion! Are you working on any other projects!

Thanks Dwayne Williams 2 for the comment and for subscribing! Thanks for the support. I'm looking forward to making the series.

Thanks Sam Rivera ! Music and art have both been passions, so it is exciting to finally take the step to combine them into something I wanted to do for so long. It's a little scary, but I'm very excited to give it a go. The series is the only major project I have going right now.

Hi James Doane and happy Introduce Yourself Weekend! I’m Ashley, Stage 32’s Head of Community, and I love hearing about creative pivots like this, especially when someone brings multiple artistic disciplines into one project. Shifting from composing into animation feels like such a natural evolution for someone who’s been drawing since childhood, and The Last Saint sounds like an incredible way to bring all your talents together.

Taking on the writing, animation, and music yourself is a huge creative lift, but documenting the journey on your YouTube channel is such a smart move. People love seeing how projects evolve behind the scenes, and it’s a great way to build an early audience.

Since you’re diving deeper into animation and worldbuilding, you might enjoy exploring some of the Stage 32 Lounges: the Screenwriting Lounge, Animation Lounge, Filmmaking Lounge, and Producing Lounge are all great places to connect and get support (https://www.stage32.com/lounge).

If you want to sharpen the writing side as you develop your series, there’s also a free month of the Writer’s Room for new members (https://www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip). It’s a wonderful way to build structure around your process, get feedback, and join live sessions with working professionals.

If you ever decide to pitch The Last Saint or connect more directly with execs, the Success Team is also a great resource for curated guidance: Success@Stage32.com.

And before you go, I’d love to invite you to join us for this month’s free Community Open House, it’s one of the best ways to get plugged into everything Stage 32 has to offer (https://www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-s-november-community...).

Can’t wait to follow your journey into animation!

Thanks Ashley Renee Smith for all the information!! I will definitely check these out!

Dang it, RB, I don't remember her name, but she was very encouraging

hay, Steve So after you optioned the script, what do they need financing?

Impressive. maybe you can give my SETESH 2025 on youtube a look? It is a full feature with a huge cast and multi-state locations, even a real motorcycle club.

Foxxay - Hello. I'm not sure I understand your question, but I am the writer, so I am not involved with the financing part of the process

Hi Jon - I'll take a look, but as I told Foxxay, I am a writer not a producer. Once I write the script and sign the option, it's pretty much out of my hands unless some re-writing is involved

I didn't know there were books, Autumn Carpenter. I'll have to check them out. Thanks.

your welcome! I got to get them too. I only found out like 3 days ago so :) I knew they were books but I didn't know they had 6 I only thought they had 3

What kind of band/group is Stray Kids, Autumn Carpenter?

its a K-pop group of 8 members (male) Bangchan(leader) Hyunjin, I.N, Seungmin, Felix, Han, Lee Know, and Changbin. They are really good in my opinion. Although a lot of people don't like K-pop.

I'll check them out, Autumn Carpenter. Thanks. I gotta check out KPop Demon Hunters too.

Hey Yes!

Awesome. How can I find it?

Hey Wayne let me look into this for you. E

Hey Eileen. Just wanted to follow up on this.

Hey Wayne - I sent you a DM. sorry about that. Yes, I am absolutely teaching and it is one-on-one not in lab form. So you will be working with me directly. Hope to see you. E

If qualified?

Congratulations! Making a film is a major achievement!! Bravo!

Hey Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg thank you and nice to see you again. I'll be in touch, thank you.

Thank you Jack Binder. I loved it, well we still have post to do before it's finished but I love every part of it.

Congrats, Vital Butinar. A great achievement!

Thank you Frank Van Der Meijden.

Hi, Clinton Oparaocha. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Filmmaking/Directing Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge because the focus is on introducing yourself and promoting your project.

I also moved your posts from the Screenwriting Lounge and Animation Lounge to the Your Stage Lounge. Stage 32 doesn't want members posting the same thing in different discipline Lounges on the same day because it can clog up the Lounges and other members’ posts won’t be seen. If you want to put a post in two discipline Lounges on the same day, change one of the posts significantly. Or you can put one post in a Lounge one day and put the same post in another Lounge on a different day.

The ways to connect with other members in the discipline Lounges (Filmmaking/Directing Lounge, Screenwriting Lounge, Animation Lounge, etc.) are making helpful/educational posts and commenting on other people’s posts.

Maurice Vaughan how easily can I connect with Young writer?

Those links will help you connect with a writer, Clinton Oparaocha. And you could make a collaboration post on the Job Board (www.stage32.com/find-jobs).
