Thank you, Phoebe. I did leave out 95% of the details and plot to be safe, but I can honestly tell you that a surprisingly large amount of religious stories are about dogs if you change a letter or a word. The themes are dealing with loss, consequences of misinterpretation, truth vs. conviction, the similarities between good and evil, and the powerful relationship between a person and their dog.

Wow, that's wild. I had to read that a couple of times to make sure I got it.

And I'd definitely read the script at least once!

love that concept. let me know if you need content for that story line. You have plenty to work with there.

I’m pretty good with photorealistic rigging for a pilot. if you like I can show you a sample when I return from vacation next week

Sometimes I will see a picture of someone, or read an article about someone and feel like I know them. Not in a creepy way or anything like that. It's like a pleasant warmth in my chest and a soft tingle on the top of my head. This feeling has never served me wrong. We may not know each other Candela, and we will probably never meet, but your picture and your introduction have definitely given me that feeling. My opinion may not hold much weight, but I think that you're going to do great things. Go get 'em.

Candela, your words carry such sincerity and grace — they feel less like a post and more like a quiet moment shared between kindreds.

There’s something truly beautiful about the way life led you through stillness and reflection before guiding you toward the fire of performance. That contrast — inner peace meeting raw emotion — is what makes the most unforgettable actors. You’re not just performing a role… you’re honoring a truth.

Bariloche sounds like the perfect setting for a soul like yours — a place where the landscape mirrors the depth of your journey. And I have no doubt that your intuition will continue to guide you exactly where you need to be — and that international film you’re ready for might already be looking for you.

Thank you for introducing yourself with such heart. I’ll be cheering for your path — and should our creative worlds align, I would be honored to connect.

Con respeto y esperanza,

Wyman

Candela Soengas Muñiz Greetings from Bristol, UK. It is so good to hear that you have a spiritual practice. I have had such a practice for the last 13 years and have found it very centring and affirming. It gives me such clarity when entering another spiritual practice; writing.

I’m wondering what led you into your meditation practice? For me it was that the institutions of spirituality had left me feeling empty, that there was so much more than religious observance. I was put in touch with a spiritual director, via a Franciscan Monk. It was quite the coming together of two soulmates and he led me into this spiritual practice.

It has grounded me as a writer and director and I think it is thrilling to hear that it has helped you find a way into acting.

I am currently writing and plotting an animated series and part of the story is set in Buenos Aires. It would be great if we could keep in touch and see where that leads.

Peace,

Geoff

Welcome!

welcome Candela Soengas Muñiz !

I had a brief but wonderful experience teaching a group of Argentinian actors in Buenos Aires a while ago. I was impressed with their work ethic and respect for their craft. excited for you to have found this passion for yourself.

may I suggest that, if you have them, you upload some more headshots, any video clips of your work, and links to any website, personal or a database you may be on.

for example, you could make a profile on e-talenta and then place the link here on your Stage32 profile. ( https://www.e-talenta.eu/e-talenta-for-actors/ )

wishing you luck and joy in the craft! ✌

Hi, Adriano Martorana. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Composing Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're introducing yourself and promoting your music. Let me know if you have any questions.

Adriano Martorana Hi, Adriano. Thanks for sharing your work. I wonder who your influencers are when it comes to composing for film?

Hello Geoff, many thanks for your message.

I'm a Italian composer from Genoa, and I'm active for evocative and emotionally powerful music that blends classical tradition with cinematic and epic styles.

My compositions stand out for their lyrical depth, refined orchestration, and a profound sense of storytelling through sound.

I develop the melody and harmony, developing a distinctive musical language that merges the expressive potential of symphonic writing with modern sensibilities.

I works often explore themes of beauty, introspection, and grandeur, making use of rich harmonic textures and compelling thematic development.

Welcome back, Deriq Carr. Great to meet you. Congratulations on publishing Fragmentary and dropping a mix tape!

Deriq Carr Hi there, Deriq. How are you doing?

Yes, this theme of AI beginning to direct and evolve human life, is perhaps one of the main concerns about AI moving beyond its use as a tool and towards making humanity redundant. Some writers, the likes of Kurzweil, see perhaps that this technology aiding us in a more transcendent journey.

I wish you well with your own journey. By the way, where can we find your music?

Best,

Geoff

At this point it seems like AI is here to stay. in my story AI leaves humans behind, after of course making substantial improvements, giving humans a chance to survive beyond the Earth.

Hi Cédric, Great to meet you! I’m Sydney from the Stage 32 education team. Your blend of ambient, electro, and orchestral sounds sounds fantastic and your post-production experience is a real bonus. I’d recommend posting like this on Stage 32 to attract filmmakers looking for talented composers like you. If you ever need anything or resource recommendations or have questions, feel free to email me anytime at edu@stage32.com !!

Cédric Chanet Hi Cedric, I’d echo what Maurice and Sydney have written. Introduce your work in the Composer and Post-Production Lounges.

I’m just wondering where I can hear some of your compositions?

Best Wishes,

Geoff

Joel Yarwood Hello, Joel and welcome to Stage 32. I love hearing about your approach. Where can I hear some of your work?

I’m particularly interested in projects that resist mainstream aesthetics, challenge dominant ideologies, or exist at the intersection of art and politics. If you’re working on something introspective, essayistic, surreal, or formally experimental, I’d love to hear from you.

That’s quite a list of interests! Although I’m not interested in the intersection of arts and politics, as my work would be focused more on undermining the political status quo. In my mind, that intersection can fall into the trap of serving political dominance.

However, philosophical posturing over with, my interests as a writer and director do focus on ‘resisting mainstream aesthetics and challenging dominant ideologies.

Best wishes from Bristol, UK,

Geoff

Very interested in your thematic preferences because they align with projects in my production pipeline..

Kind thanks Maurice for the heads up and direction. ive been approached by Ed McDonald to look at Green Sahara Project as a feature film. Ive also been endorsed by Kim Lewis Omnibusworks of Canada.

I'll look at the link sent to get better understanding of process flow.

James

You're welcome, James Boyd Fuller. Congratulations!

Don’t worry about it! AI will solve the climate and environmental crisis by bringing humanity back into stasis with the planet. all that needs to happen is to reduce the human population by 80% - or eliminate the top 10%. Now there is a movie I could watch!

James Fleming Indeed, we are entering the AI zone...lol

Hi James, welcome to the community! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here at Stage 32. Your work is truly inspiring, what an incredible mission you’re on, both through your environmental advocacy and your creative journey as a screenwriter. I’m especially intrigued by how you’re bridging science and storytelling, and using film as a tool for change. That kind of solution-driven narrative is powerful, and there’s such a need for it.

I suggest exploring the Screenwriting Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting

It’s a great space to ask questions, get feedback, and connect with others who are developing projects with purpose.

Cheering you on through your July goals and beyond! Let me know if you need help finding resources or collaborators.
