Introduce Yourself

Hello to all. Hoping to realize my dream very soon — after a 15-year journey — to be a working screenwriter. Working on a new script, others are being shopped, and I’m also a regular contributor to medium.com. (Sherry McGuinn.) please check me out and if you like what you read, I would appreciate the “claps.” Wishing you all good health, success and prosperity. Cheers.

Morning / Evening all. Got a note from Stage32 and thought this introduction lounge would be fun to get involved with!

I've been a somewhat silent member of S32 for a year, but been writing features for the past four years or so. This year's been an interesting one for me since I handed in notice on a decade in the corporate world in January - by April I'll be riding solo and making a proper go of the screenwriting industry... (heart, meet mouth).

Will be floating between Singapore, Taiwan and LA for the next 12 months or so, and always super keen to meet anybody who writes, directs, produces, anything really - sometimes feel a bit out of the loop on this side of the planet!

In the meantime, sincerest best wishes to everybody here who's striving to create new and exciting projects! May 2019 be your year!!!

Unless you're making a silent film, give me a shout! As a professional sound guy, I'm happy to say that I've been on Stage32 for a good while now. I've gotten work, made friends and made real-world connections. I'm based north of NYC the Hudson Valley and Catskills region, but work in about 8 different states throughout northeastern US. In addition to location sound, I do event sound, serve as stage crew, worked in radio, toured in theater and have done lots of voiceover work. From commercials to documentaries, from films to webisodes, I've been on projects large and small. Looking to meet current and future producers who appreciate how sound can make or break a picture.

Hello everyone!

My Name is Peter Capozzi. I've been something of a lurker on here but I'm trying to get myself out there more. I've written and directed a couple of shorts, and I've helped out colleagues of mine a few times with their works. I've been working on my latest project which will double as my first feature script called Harpy. It's a horror piece I've been working on it for the past year or so. I recently got some great feedback from a script reader on here, the services this site has are immensely helpful and I really appreciate it.

I'm at something of a crossroads because I don't know where to go with my script from here. I've spoken to one of my old mentors from college(SVA 2017) and he suggested I try and find an agent to help me get my name out there. But I don't even know where to start, does anyone have any tips to a newbie on what to do?

Thanks for reading.

Hello Stage 32 Talent!

We've not done intros here yet. I'm the parent of a working child actor. We've been in the business for several years and meet wonderful folks. Dogen's won awards for voice acting and acting and thrives on set and in the studio. It would be amazing to find new local connections and work together. Dogen is represented by Jennifer Garland at Circle Talent in Santa Monica, CA.

You can check out more on his website: Dogen-YouthVoiceArtistActor.com

Thanks for letting us be a part of this group!

Hey, all. Been awhile since I've been on S32. Glad to start receiving notices from them again. I'm a theatre director/performer and veteran saxophonist living and working in Humboldt County, CA. I'm revitalizing one of our area's oldest children's theatre company currently, and starting work on my adult professional theatre company, NightVision. If you're in the northern California region and want to connect, gimme a shout. My current project is Iphigenia 2.1, inspired by Charles Mee and Euripides. Performs at Eureka's historic Eagle House Inn @ 2nd and C. If you're in the area, come see the show! https://www.facebook.com/events/389858018457024/

Hey guys!

My name is April Guscott, I'm a TV/screenwriter whose work spotlights young queer women of color as they try to navigate the exhaustive trials of adulting as millennials.

I hold an MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and I'm a member of the professional association for women in the New York entertainment industry, NYWIFT.

I'm a native New Yorker hailing from the Caribbean immigrant rich Brooklyn neighborhood of East Flatbush, and I'm currently working on a high concept whodunnit pilot loosely inspired by my online dating adventures.

Great to meet you fellow writers!

Recv'd Stage32 newsletter so long and finally jumped in and joined the community.  Pays to open email sometimes.  ;-)

Stage 32 has been very good to me. In three years I went from no credits to being on major movies, tv series, music vids, and local independent flicks here in Denver. Here are some scenes with me and my s32 buddy, Lyle "Pookie' DeRose. RAGE OF THE MUMMY now available on Amazon. What are your goals? https://youtu.be/netWcZQ4bUI

Hi Everyone.

I'm Valerie Michele Oliver, and I've been a member here for a while. Stage 32 is THE BEST for networking, pitching, and getting coverage for projects.

Here are some examples why...Last week after a substantial pitch chat with a director who reached out to me about a short film project, he agreed to direct it. Whew! GIFTS is based on a published, true short story based on my life, and the script isn't even written yet, but that's how it can go. I practiced via pitching to an industry executive here before talking to award-winning Steve Balderson of Dikenga Films (http://dikenga.com). This is my second match up. My first is with Jacob Larch in England. We co-created THORN TREES (a.k.a. WICCAN), a TV series set in 1590s England, and have received some multiple great coverage notes and scores here. Helps with confidence when pitching (verbal or written).

Now, I'm hoping to work with Heather Hale (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0354921) as director of a second short film (GIFTS is part of a trilogy though each short can also stand on it's own). Heather is a member here also.

Happy to meet you (perhaps work together), and grateful for Stage 32. ~Valerie

Hello beautiful people,

My name is Georgios Soumelidis. Music composer and film director from Greece.

I love so much describing the world combining sounds and images, noises and voices that some people even appreciated my work awarding them :)

But my passion though is to capture the actors talent unraveling obvious and deep truths.. that are still hidden behind the mist of our modern culture.
