Introduce Yourself

Hi Mirielen!

Thank you so much — I’d love to connect as well!

Your background as a director and editor is really interesting, especially in shaping the visual and emotional tone of a project.

I’m currently developing an international suspense drama series and would love to exchange ideas with you.

What kind of projects are you most passionate about working on right now?

Happy Introduce Yourself Weekend Ana Rodrigues and welcome to Stage 32! Congratulations on your mystery, "The Secret of Dubai" - sounds interesting! Be sure to stop by the screenwriting lounge and get to know some of your fellow scribes: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting

I also wanted to invite you to our FREE Community Open House on Wednesday, March 25 https://www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32s-march-2026-communit...

This will help you with meeting other creatives and navigating the platform.

Thank you for the warm welcome — I truly appreciate it.

I’m glad to be part of the Stage 32 community and to connect with other writers and creatives. The Secret of Dubai is a project I’ve been developing with a strong focus on emotional tension, character depth, and a cohesive visual tone, so I’m always interested in spaces that encourage meaningful creative exchange.

I’ll definitely explore the screenwriting lounge and engage more with the community. I’ve also checked out the event — it sounds like a valuable opportunity to better understand the platform and connect with other professionals.

Looking forward to contributing and growing within the community.

Sounds good Ana Rodrigues - see you in the screenwriting lounge!

Hi Leonardo,

Terrance Jones! I enjoyed the hell out of watching your color process on your clip on your profile: https://www.stage32.com/media/4036765846809357895 I'm so thrilled to have you in the community. Do you have a preferred genre you like to work on when you are color grading?

So great to meet you Nick Harty and glad to have you here! I just read about Live A+ Little on you profile and that sounds like such a great project!

Love it David DeHaas What are you creating now?

Hey Sean, Great to meet you and congrats on the commercials! That's literally amazing

I actually like the sounds of that of how you actually write about the LGBTQA Community like that Not many people do I actually wrote an idea that I had on my wall on here Just a little idea that I had about something and the idea that I had had of what I wrote on my wall on here One of the characters in the story that I wrote is actually Has A Couple Of gay characters

All my novels have gay characters, but the first two have cisgender, heterosexual protagonists. However, both my screenplays, one adapted from my novel, Edge of Smoke, have LGBTQIA protaonists. My second screenplay was supposed to have been my next novel, but after the first one won awards, I decided to write it as a screenplay first. Now, I find that I am working primarily on screenplays. There is an audience for LGBTQ film. Since 10% (possibly more with bisexuals and transgender) of the population is estimated to be LGBTQ and along with allies, there is definately an audience. I'm just surprised how mainstream and popular Heated Rivelry has been. It gives me hope.

Here are some of our previous works too:

M Bartels How you can ensure that the right people are being credited for soundtracks is simple. Make sure your soundtrack is properly registered on your Nigerian music rights organization https://www.mcsnnigeria.org register your library with them. Once this is done, any film and television producers wanting to use your music or soundtrack worth their salt will place your music with proper cue sheets which approximate where on the films timeline the music starts and stops . It's that simple.

Hi M Bartels, welcome back to Stage 32! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here on the platform.

And thank you for highlighting the importance of staying up to date with how the industry is evolving. You’re absolutely right, the landscape has expanded far beyond one place, and conversations around credit, ownership, and fair compensation are more important than ever.

Liam VerSteeg you would love to connect and network? Well you have come to the best place in the virtual landscape to network and make stuff happen! Happy networking! PS: It's a very good idea to get a default picture of yourself or your logo. No one wants to speak with a shadow hehe.

Hi Liam VerSteeg, welcome to Stage 32! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here on the platform. It’s great to meet you, and it sounds like you’re already taking solid steps forward working as a PA while developing your own projects.
