Introduce Yourself

Welcome to Stage32, aspiring creators! My name is Cee W. and I am an emerging content creator who's working on an idea for an exciting new Christmas movie, titled "Ryder & The Deer Guardians". I also want to reveal that I'm now getting support from the team at this major production company Atomic Cartoons, which is part of Thunderbird Ent.

Hello everyone, 

Originally from Seattle but I've lived in Austin for the past two years, thinking of moving back to Washington State this summer. Possibly the eastern side of the State. I belong to the Spokane Film Project and would love to become more involved with them. 

I've worked as an Editor, P.A. and camera operator with a cinematography credit in a short, shot in Seattle.

I've spent the last few years learning Premiere Pro, Black Magic Podcast Kit, editing for  local podcast, and creating  video art with layering and video effects. I am also a member of WIFT- Austin.

Here is a horror short I'm creating with footage from a family vacation- 2020. I wanted interesting footage to learn color grading in Adobe. This is the first time I worked with presets, I think I'm almost to the final rough cut.  Would love to hear what you think.

Thanks for having me, take care y'all

Hey y'all, i'm new here but not new the industry, i'm looking for post production sound work and looking to connect with like minded people, you can check out my work on my page - stage32.com/profile/1118181

Thanks everyone!!

Hi all!

My name is James G. Maynard, and I am a filmmaker, educator, and developer from Tucson, Arizona, USA.

I grew up around the space program, but always loved putting on plays, creating music, and shooting as much film as I could talk my parents into paying to have developed. I got obsessed with finding new ways of teaching through entertainment, earned a degree in physics, chemistry, and history, and began obsessively studying filmmaking, I have a weekly science comedy show, and I make short films that all have something educational about them, and I am now also working on my first two feature-length films. LOL.

I'm looking forward to being a part of Stage32!

James

So, some people have said that my last few Introduce Yourself post themes have a been a bit too difficult to figure out. To be BLUNT, it seems like a WASTED opportunity, if you ask me, but I digress. So, I've made this one a little easier. As always, five points to anyone who can figure it out without Googling...

HIGH! My name is Doug Kayne, and I'm a comedian, writer, actor, teacher, and all-around smart-ass. I've been doing improv comedy FOR TWENTY -- no, thirty-two -- years, now. Can't believe I didn't remember how long, exactly...I'm such a DOPE. Currently, I'm a member of Those Four Misfits (www.ThoseFourMisfits.com). Our next live show is on Friday, May 3. It's a pre-Star Wars Day show, so if you want to wear a Star Wars shirt, or dress like your favorite comics character (my favorite was last year, someone dressed as MARY JANE Watson, bringing along a Spider-Man plush), then that would be cool!

Currently, I'm working on a few projects. My sci-fi comedy series, Going Commander (written with Jane Hopkins) is ready to pitch to interested parties. It's pretty high-budget, LOADED with aliens and special effects, otherwise I'd be trying to raise funds to film it myself. Considering the number of things we BLOW up in it, it makes sense. BUZZ fro people who have read it has been positive, and WEED love to be able to share it with you by having it be on a streaming service somewhere.

I'm a member of the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild, the latter of which I was able to join after my very first screenplay, Romantic Comedy 101, was produced (airing on E! Entertainment Television back in 2002).

I've been in plays, web series, short films, movies -- and very much look forward to collaborating with really cool, creative people. Feel free to reach out and let me know if there's any way I can help. Not blowing SMOKE, here...

You know, looking back on this post, it's kind of a mess. CAN A BISsel vacuum clean it up?

And, for those who still haven't been able to figure out the theme...I leave you with this sketch from me and Those Four Misfits: https://youtu.be/-5Jtlgzsbqw?si=Gq_yQj4WDd57DT9w

Happy introduce yourself weekend everyone! I’d love to know who your favorite TV character is and why.

I’m Amanda, the Managing Director of Stage 32. I’ve been proud to oversee this community for over 12 years! When I’m not in the day-to-day with Stage 32 I produce films and television. A recent short film we did with Stage 32er Pat Semler - EXIT INTERVIEW - is now completed and screening this week! A TV show I’ve produced is at a mini major studio and we are out for casting.

Hey cinema formers,

Some of you might know me already for "Bad Superheroes Prison" reading in Writer's Room. Last few years I am so much in love with idea to achieve highest possible pop culture success. Please familiarise yourself with my loglines and ask for more so maybe we can either work together or you can help me to make my first international deal?

-My first novel was published when I was 19 years only.

-ESPN commentators used my interviews material in WSOP THE BIG FOR ONE DROP tournament.

-Had a 2 year contract with WGA/SAG-AFTRA agency with a chance getting to work with director of the biggest movies budgets ever.

Hello all. I know I’m late to the introduction weekend, but didn’t want to miss you.

First off, I’m a complete industry outsider. I’ve been in Tech my entire career, so I’m in major learning mode.

I wrote my first screenplay in March of 2023. I’ve never considered myself creative and now I can’t stop writing. I’ve now completed my 4th, and all have placed in competitions. 12 more sit in my head, I just need time.

I’m here to just learn. I have no idea what the industry entails and I’d love to just connect and anyone who’s open to a short call or meet-up, I’d love to just learn.

I’m in Maplewood, NJ (an NYC Suburb).

Anyhow, hope you’re all doing wonderfully!

Hello Stage 32. I'd like to celebrate the Palm Springs Women in Film and Television short script competition. As winner of the first ever competition I got to work with an amazing team of creatives and the weekend spent on the set watching my words committed to film was the highlight of my year. We should have an announcement soon when, where and how the finished product can be viewed. Stay tuned.

In the meantime I'm deep into a new script and looking forward to making new connections.
