Introduce Yourself

Interestingly enough, when I'm not thinking horror story, that's where it goes as well

Hey, Alyscia Cunningham! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Oh, HEY, you're from my hometown! Or at least I am also from the DMV and just moved to LA about a year ago. Actually, remind me to connect you with a lady I just met in NYC who is doing a doc about hair and one of my mentors in VA who runs a FB group for entrepreneurial moms.

Ooo! Would you be interested in participating in the "Paris, Je T'aime" challenge I posted in the Filmmakers Lounge? It's just a fun way to get to know people through their city (and while I know DC very well, I think it's fun to uncover those little gems that the rest of the world isn't privy to):

I would LOVE for you to jump in the Cinematography Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/cinematography) and start a post about how photography influences your filmic eye.

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect!

Hey Karen! Thanks for your message. I believe LA is a better bet than DC

Alyscia Cunningham, You'd think so, and there are so many different neighborhoods to choose from, but there is a particular flavor for DC that is equal parts Architectural European influence and East Coast Urban. Like everyone knows Adams Morgan, but who really knows what it looks like during the day? Howard University is a great campus, but how many films have been featured there? How many people choose Georgetown or George Washington University or American University instead?

Honestly, if we were allowed, I'd film in front of all the different embassies, as the architecture of each immediately communicates the diversity of the area. But the game is about you just playing with the idea of the setting inspiring a story. I bet you know lots of little gems throughout the city!

Karen, it looks like the rest of my previous response somehow cut off. Oops sorry. I didn't realize the embassies couldn't be filmed. I think it would make a wonderful documentary. I've lived in the DMV area for over 20 years (I moved her from Queens, NY) but it hasn't quite felt like home. I visited California a few times and fell in love. Maybe it felt like home because I was born on the west coast?

Very cool reel!! Fantastic visuals, nice work all around...

Hey Eli, great work all around. I'm a screenwriter and have a special effects short script, that has gotten some good attention and would like to share with you. Would you be interested in having a look? feel free to drop me a line and i'll introduce to you who's attached. Thanks

Good looking visuals here! Thanks for coming back to Stage 32...lol

Hey, Éli Sokhn! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Ooo, Equilibrium - great film! What a fantastic depiction of "Gun Fu" LOL! As a martial artist, I love a good fight scene, but as a SciFi fan, I love world-building with clear consequences - Looper is a great example of that, as is Arrival. LOVE Children of Men - that moment, you know the one, is iconic.

I'd love for you to start a post in the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) and the Post-Production Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/post_production) about your experience working with VFX - hell, I'd love to know about your experience with stunts - that one where the guys gets smashed into the wall? EPIC!

Definitely take people up on their offers for script feedback, and if you need, we offer industry script coverage as well: https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/coverage/buy?id=23 Of course, I'm also a big fan of the Writer's Room as well: https://www.stage32.com/writersroom We're actually starting world-building on today's webcast!

Great reel! If you're working on anything, I'd love for you to post it in the Your Stage Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/promotion) where we post things for feedback. I visit there on Fridays mostly as part of my #FilmmakerFriday as a kind of "Check it before you wreck it" Day LOL!.

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect!

Thanks for the love, Graham P Halky! Tatia Snow Definitely check out the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) - there have been a lot of conversations about voice work of late, as you can imagine. Also, if you've got anything you're working on and would like some feedback, post it to the Your Stage Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/promotion

Thank you so much, Karen E Ross, for these details. I really appreciate your help navigating all the goodies here at Stage32. I'll start a thread over on the screenwriting lounge as you've requested. Having my novels made into Hallmark movies was a dream come true for me. I'm working on a couple of screenplays but still learning the craft. It's so different from writing a novel.

I have no doubt I'll see you over in the Writers Room soon. I'm off to read your blog post now.

Thanks again!

Welcome Nancy, What an honor.... I will look for you in Writers Room ^_^"

I would love to share ideas <3 Over the last 4 yrs in LA Film School, that I just graduated 3.96PGA Summa Cum Laude and have humbly written an entire TRANSMEDIA FRANCHISE "Concept with perfect timing to bring American back together" not to mention create a first time INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS COMPANY: (It Takes a Villages Pictures) ~ For The People, By The People, Profit sharing with he People like never in Hollywood history.

Ooops Dear Karen the Writer Room required $39 a month..... And could not find you on screenwriters lounge. Oh well hope to stay it touch and Thank You for your kind sharing with us dreamers. CXL

Hey, Christopher Xavier Lozano - if you want to try out the Writer's Room, email Jason Mirch, our Director of Services: j.mirch@stage32.com

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Maybe the cultures that use bowing as a form of greeting were on to something. LOL. I only hope that "air fist bumps" and "air high fives" don't get out of hand.

Hey, Leonarda Van Der Ark! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Wow, good work on landing those curtsies! Actually, I could see that trend taking off LOL! Dude... I could use your eyes to help me recraft my bio - I HATE introducing myself. I do the work well, but I do not sell myself well.

Definitely reach out and join the conversations in the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but consider getting perspectives from filmmakers and producers in the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) and Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing).

Hey, Kelly Brotman! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! I was looking over your profile, but you don't have much there. Tell me about yourself!

Ooo, cool! I'd love for you to start a post in the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) about your time learning at Second City! You could totally network with some of our Stage32 talent in the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) as well - improv often works both ways!

If you ever need to post your links for promotions, the best place is on the Your Stage Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/promotion).

Welcome, Kelly. Comedy is my favourite genre. If I spend time being entertained, I'd rather spend that time laughing. Wishing you every success.

Size is never a good indicator of fighting spirit :)

Robert Russo - Indeed, thus the incidence of "a gentle giant".

This is a promo for my novel "The Ripper Code", which I "reverse engineered", to use a term Christopher M. Rutledge, i.e. adapted my original screenplay and turned into a novel. "The Ripper Code" is a crime thriller set in the present day about a serial sex killer who commits copycat murders by Jack the Ripper.

Nice to meet you guys too!

Glad to have you active again Andrew Cohen! Are you working on any comedy scripts now? They are in high demand.

Lovely to see this warm welcome! Thanks for jumping in Alice S. Pushee' Erick Freitas Rebecca D Robinson Alex R Price

Andrew Cohen If you start that new conversation in another lounge, you can add the link to it here and invite your new contacts to join that conversation as well (see picture). You can find the share button next to the heart at the bottom of the post.

Hey Sophia Bryant-Scott! Great to have you here! I am the Director of Script Services at Stage 32. Sci-Fi is a great genre to be writing right now. If you would ever like to get feedback on your project from our executives who specialize in Sci-Fi just let me know! You can reach out to me directly at j.mirch@stage32.com and I can give you some recommendations.

Welcome Sophia! Good Luck on your pilot.

Welcome Sophia

I love sci-fi so if you ever need another set of eyes to read and give feedback just get in touch.

Hey, Sophia Bryant-Scott! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! LOVE SciFi - what would you say are your top 3 series? How is NYC treating you? I just talked with another member there who said he goes for short walks every day because anything more is just too much. Oh, and delivery issues LOL!

You should join us in the Writer's Room - several SciFi fans there, and all very eager to read and give feedback: https://www.stage32.com/writersroom I know you'll dig the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but I'd urge you to visit the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) and Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing) to give you insights into the collaborators you may seek.

Also, on a personal note, I appreciate you and your work - PAs and PCs are often a "no thank" job, but so SO essential. As a PC, I was being groomed to be a PM, and knew it wasn't for me, but man does production need these keen minds!

Hey, Ronald Hall! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! What genres do you write? Are you looking to adopt any into a screenplay?

I think you'd enjoy meeting like-minded creatives in the Authoring and Playwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/playwriting) - maybe you could start a post about your work experience and ask people to share theirs?

Ooo, Alaska?! Would you be interested in participating in the "Paris, Je T'aime" challenge I posted in the Filmmakers Lounge? It's just a fun way to get to know people through their city:

Hi RT - so glad you introduced yourself here and thank you very much for your kind words about receiving coverage through our Stage 32 script services that you found helpful! We work really hard to bring in the best of the best to help our community. We'd love if you'd take a moment and share a testimonial: https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories Also, what is SURFING IN AFGHANISTAN about?

Hey RT! I just wanted to echo what Amanda said. Thank you so much for the kind words about the coverage you received through Stage 32 Script Services. It means a lot that you found the notes helpful and constructive. I look forward to hearing more about your creative process and journey. Feel free to reach out at any point - j.mirch@stage32.com

Yeah, Amanda Toney I received great coverage from Stage 32 and that has been helpful in many meetings. Only thing is that its a bigger film and I have to wait to get through this Covid period where the smaller scripts are taking more precedence for obvious production reasons.
