Thanks Ashley Renee Smith ,i do really appreciate

Thanks, David Downes. I just listened to Santa Got A Puppy For Christmas and Label Plantation and subscribed to your YouTube channel. Catchy songs. Label Plantation has great points! Speaking of Santa Got A Puppy For Christmas, how's your November Write Club goal going?

Moving along! About halfway done. Reviewed illustration 8 of 16 yesterday. Should have the book ready before Christmas. Hmmm, this brings up a topic I should bring up in the Writer's Room...

About halfway done on Nov 17th is great, David Downes! Congratulations! Looking forward to reading the book! "Hmmm, this brings up a topic I should bring up in the Writer's Room." Yeah, I think you should. It's about your November Write Club goal.

Happy Introduce Yourself Weekend, David Downes! If you’d ever be interested in writing blog posts here on Stage 32 about the business components that you’ve been exploring, please reach out to me at blog@stage32.com!

Will do! Working on a short topic in the Writer's Room which should be posted shortly. Not really a full blog post, but maybe a start of one!

Hey @Brian Herskowitz, great to meet you! And remind me never to get into a fight with you!

One of my favorite TV series Robert Catrini. Great seeing you here!

Hey @Robert Catrini! Great to meet you! You've got the look of a great, stern General!

Thank you, everyone! I thank God every day for the career that I've been blessed with. Great to meet fellow actors, producers and directors on here.

You're welcome, Robert Catrini.

I encourage you to spend some time sharing your experiences and insights as a professional actor in our Acting Lounge.

You're welcome, Maggie Grant. And you're right. How's your November Write Club goals coming along?

Hi Maggie! Fantastic reel! The character who is on a dating app but doesn't date made me feel seen lol

No matter how good my idea is, my greatest thrill comes from sharing it with someone who I feel will appreciate it. A good voice requires good ears.

Great to see you, Maggie Grant! Are you working on anything new that you’re excited about?

Couldn't share your passion and enthusiasm any more, Maggie Grant

Thanks, Maurice! I'll tell ya, as you know, it's a labor of love creating something like this so I appreciate your kind words. Now if I can only find someone to help me bring them to the world...haha

Hey Ivan Scott, great to meet you! I have cousins in Atlanta so I've spent many a weekends there over the years. Since you're a Rom Com writer, I'd love to know what your favorite part about a Rom Com is? Is it the meet cute, the will-they won't they, the fun & games, the heartbreak, the get back together, or something else?

Hey Pat! We live in the northern burbs so I am sure you've had fun while you've been here. I think it's the innocence of it all. Especially in this day and age when all we see and read are stories of the not so good things in the world, seeing two people fall in love is always a nice change. The meet-cute is always fun, especially if you can add some witty dialogue to it, and put them in crazy situations that give the reader an escape from the real world. I also like enemies to lovers since you know they despise each other, then you read about how that thaws, and all the emotion of disliking that person flips inside out and that is now love and admiration. Of course there has to be an obstacle and that adds the drama to it. But if it's on Hallmark Channel, you know it will go bad with 15 minutes to go, and then resolved with 5 so those are comforting thoughts. What do you like about RomComs? Thanks so much for the message!

I encourage you to tell us more about what you have worked on and what your career goals are.

Hi, Rowan Hartman. Hope you're having a great weekend and fall! Here are some blogs about networking/connecting with creatives: www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41

Thank you kindly, Maurice Vaughan. There's plenty of room for all to succeed and flourish!

You're welcome, Philip Sedgwick. You're right. Community, not competition.

Very loaded question for artists. "Do the cows ever come home?" Keep going. You may be able to meet them on the pasture. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Philip welcome back. Thanks for reintroducing yourself.

Welcome back, Philip Sedgwick! Happy Introduce Yourself Weekend!

Pat Alexander

Yes.. I agree.. RELATIONSHIPS are the foundation of business. Not all money is GOOD.

Nick Phillips

lol... I wish I had you in my life 15 years ago. Lol Figuring out THIS industry alone has been the worst! so glad I have you to cheer me in now!!

Stefano Pavone Thank you!

Welcome to Stage 32, Stephanie Mack! The best way to network here on Stage 32, is to be involved and active within the lounges on a regular basis. Stage 32 Lounges are our public discussion spaces where you can pose questions that you may have, provide advice or insights, and share news/announcements that interest you. Posting and commenting in the lounges is the best way to be seen and noticed. You can find them all by clicking here: https://www.stage32.com/lounge

In addition to the great links that Maurice shared, you should also check out this great blog about all the ways you can make the most out of your time here on Stage 32, following Introduce Yourself Weekend: https://www.stage32.com/blog/keeping-up-the-momentum-from-introduce-your...

Your energy is contagious, Stephanie Mack, and that alone will carry you into the right circles. I'll echo what many said here. While all industries are tribal, this is by far the most. It runs on relationships. Get into those Lounges, be visible, contribute where you can.

Congratulations bro I wish you will become a famous screenplay and get the first contract in your carrier

Not to worry Joshua Norton. As you can see, newbies have a home here at Stage 32!

Mixing genres is awesome - David Lynch is a great example of bringing in strange factors to small town settings. Combos that I think are particularly interesting is grounded, military action with fantastical elements (like Metal Gear Solid) - or small-town dramas with an undertone of cosmic horror.

David Lynch is a phenomenal director/writer/producer, Joshua Norton! I've heard of Cosmic Horror, but I haven't written one yet. I want to. I played Metal Gear Solid growing up. I want to see a Metal Gear Solid movie!

I also suggest that you replace the headshot on your account with an actual photo of yourself. It's always easier to network with people when they can connect a face to a name. It adds a personal touch that can be so important online. =)

Maurice Vaughan oh that's cool when you have fun writing. :)

I had that much fun writing The Procedure. I had always had a kind of respect with writing sci fi and was actually just hoping an opportunity would appear for me to try and I love it. Hope I'll get to write more cool stories like this, but even more I hope that I eventually get to shoot one. :)

Yeah thankfully we use firewood and I've cut enough to last through the winter, so we should be good, but like you know working in the creative fields has it's ups and downs.

Yeah, the video is up, but the lyrics are in Slovenian so you'll probably not be able to understand much.

The record label and the artist were super happy, the artist said "I just want it to look like a Barilla commercial".

Thanks for posting the link, Vital ButinarI couldn't understand the words, but the music and video are incredible! Beautiful video!

Have you checked Stage 32's Job Board for writing jobs (www.stage32.com/find-jobs)? The Job Board is updated regularly.

Thanks Maurice Vaughan.

Yeah it was a fun one day project and there were just four of us. Me directing, Leya shooting, Blaz who took care of the lighting and Gregor who's usually our producer when we do corporate videos but this time wanted to be an assistant. He said he loved helping out and we had fun. I love that our shoots are always fun and not a pain.

Oh I check out the job board a lot and I'm usually looking for editing gigs, because I can do that remotely. But haven't had much luck for narrative stuff.

You're welcome, Vital Butinar. Hope you find a job(s) on the Job Board!

Happy Introduce Yourself Weekend, Vital Butinar!
