Introduce Yourself

Nicolas Wendl checked out your reel - great visuals and flow!

Thank you so much Sandeep!

Hey, Rupendra Brahambhatt! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Would you do me a favor and re-post your links on the Your Stage Lounge? This is the best place to share links, get feedback, and promote anything you're working on: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/promotion

I'd love for you to start a post in the FIlmmaking Lounge about your favorite experience filmmaking so far and the kinds of passionate people you met along the way: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing

Ooo, Jaipur? 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:

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, Nick Paul! You could reach out on the Acting Lounge and see if anyone would be interested in doing a table read first. It's particularly easy for people to jump in on a Zoom call for something like this:

Finding a director? Usually people find a producer first, and the producer hires the director. Maybe once you set up the Zoom table read, you could invite producers and directors in your network!

Hey, Kevin J. Howard! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Congrats on your recent accolades! And I totally get that 'reclusive writer syndrome' - there is a Master Class ad going around right now where the lady (I can't remember her name) says, "The enemy of creativity isn't self-doubt; it's distraction". Halle-FRICKIN'-lujah!

As part of your company, are you offering your services to write adaptations? I ask because I welcomed someone on the Introduce Yourself Lounge earlier who is an author looking for those interested in purchasing IP to make into screenplays - scroll through to find him: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/introduce_yourself

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

Thank you, Karen. It's so kind of you to reply with this great information. I'll check out the link there and see if we're a good fit. I'm just now starting to comment and respond, because until recently I never used to interact. Time for a change. I hope you're having a wonderful day!!

I'm new here too, lol. It's nice to meet you!

You're welcome, Ryan Drescher. I subscribed to your Youtube channel. I'm going to watch "Red Water Valley" tonight. What else are you working on?

Hey, Ryan Drescher! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Ooo, I've always wanted to visit Vancouver! 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 - especially since Vancouver often is not filmed as itself:

I'd love for you to start a conversation (or five) in the Filmmaking (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) and Cinematography (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/cinematography) Lounges - has there been anything you've learned from working on big sets? If you start the post, I'll respond to stoke the discussion!

If you'd like more information about how to explore the Lounges to meet more members and network, please enjoy my most recent blog post:

Dawn Prato Nice to meet you as well, and thank you!

Maurice Vaughan thanks! Right now, I've got a couple of concept series for the channel I'm developing and producing episodes for my podcast (CineMatics). I'm writing what I hope will become a long running short story anthology series, and developing some scripts for other short films and doing a second draft on a feature I wrote last year! All just development stuff for the most part right now.

Karen E Ross nice to meet you as well! Thank you for your comments and links I will definitely check them out! I've learned a lot about operation and organization mostly, keeping the cogs oiled and that sort of thing. And I'm constantly re,minded of the absolutely insane things we do create these believable worlds and stories.

You're busy, Ryan Drescher! I subscribed to your Youtube channel. I watched "Red Water Valley." I enjoyed watching it. I liked the conflict between the two actors and the acting.

Speaking of anthology, I wrote an anthology short story. It was for a book that was published.

Uh, yeah, we do, Ryan Drescher! DUDE, make that your post - the craziest thing you've ever done to "get that shot"! Cinematography Lounge may be a good one for that (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/cinematography) if not the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing).

I look forward to reading your posts, sir!

Hello Krystal, It is fascinating to have you on stage 32 as a comedy TV writer. I am sure you will find a lot of opportunities on this platform. I congratulate you on completion of multiple scripts.

Jason Mirch thanks a million! I think it's simply my upbringing. Growing up in a family of five siblings, three adopted siblings and fostering more than six, I was surrounded by love and laughter. My forever goal is to make one smile!

Hello Rishika, in your video, Herstory part one, you spoke of the memories and moments that stop time... I love these moments as well and in my writing I enjoy playing with time.. pushing and pulling on it.. helping it to expand, contract and fold in on itself. Slowing time down; experiencing and sensing the smallest of moments... allowing them to become grand and even profound.

I am interested to see your children's books, please let me know how to find them. I have also written four children's books and they are ready for illustration. I currently have two published poetry collections; When I Walk Upon the Earth and The Collection: a poetic exploration of friendship, love, fantasies and the soulmate. I have narrated a few paranormal short stories and I enjoy it the genre very much. It was lovely to meet me you and I look forward to exploring your work further. Cheers, J.

One of my absolute favs...Passion, work ethic, selflessness for days. You rock, R.

Richard "RB" Botto thanks so much! Complacency sucks. And my mother always reminded me, "money doesn't grow on trees." Technically it does. But it's always best to do the work!

Jacqueline Belle thank you for such kind words. My books are at Barnes and Noble and ElandEllie.com. When I Walk Upon the Earth and The Collection sounds interesting! I would love to check them out. I noticed you said your books are ready for illustration. I have a phenomenal illustrator and good friends who are super talented graphic artists and animators. If you need info DM me, I'll be happy to share.

Blessings!

Hello. Welcome to Stage32 and wish you all the best with your career. Your reel looks really great too. :)

Paige Locke Best wishes for your move to LA in 2021!!

Hi guys, hope all is well with y'all and your loved ones. Ms. Paige, L.A is beautiful and it's where dreams come true. I wish you the best when you come.

Welcome to the club. :)

Thanks everybody :) Great to be amongst all of you.

Hello and welcome on Stage32. You made a wise decision by joining stage32 platform. You will find super awesome creative content distributors and executives on here. There are tons of educational materials on stage32 and often R.B the CEO of this platform shares some awesome tips on filmmaking and how to break through in film industry. I am sure you enjoy it.

Hey Douglas, so thrilled to have you and your talents here! I know in some of our webinars people have been looking for someone with storyboarding experience, so if there's anyone in my network who needs this help, please reach out to Douglas!

Also, not sure if you caught my webinar with Conrad Vernon (Director of The Addams Family, Sausage Party, etc.), but he is an AWESOME storyboarder and he goes through a scene from the Addams Family from story board to full animation. If you're interested in checking it out for inspiration, it's here: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/Masters-of-Craft-Conrad-Vernon-Sausage-...

Hey, Douglas Brown! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage32. Nice to meet you! Wow, what great work! What genre do you think your style best serves? Drama or comedy? Adult or kids?

There was a conversation recently about Pre-vis and storyboarding, but I can't remember if it was in the Animation (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/animation) or the Filmmaking (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) Lounges - I'd love for you to jump in on both and start a conversation about your experience and your interest in features.

Thanks Karen and Amanda! I think my style would lend itself well to drama or action. The clean line art style I have would be good for rendering expressions. And action... who doesn't love a good car chase?

I'll check the links you sent.

Awesome, thanks Douglas Brown! Yeah... it's hard to beat a good car chase :D

I always here a good agent works. It's so much about can you bring in the money. Definitely, who you know. You get that paper, you see the jobs. You talk to the right people you get in. What happens after that is up to you. I've never personally gotten there and that's the key. Over the wall. What is over that wall?

That's the goal! But there are so many agents out there, knowing who to approach is dizzying!

Hey Peter...Highly suggest connecting with Jason Mirch who heads up the Script Services Division of Stage 32. He's fantastic at offering guidance for situations like this. You can reach him directly at j.mirch@stage32.com

Mister Botto to the rescue.

I do what I can ;)

Hi Tireni, welcome and best wishes to you!

Hi Tireni I'm from the UK too. Welcome and good luck in those competitions.

Hi, Tireni! Let me encourage you - you are NOT an "aspiring" screenwriter! You've finished a script and that makes you a screenwriter! Keep going!

Thank you John, Daniel and Thedia, I really appreciate the welcome. I wish you all the best in your adventures also!
