Introduce Yourself

Maurice Vaughan I'm doing great! Rewriting my comedy horror, What about you?

@Leonardoramirez I'm working on my horror comedy. What about you?

Thanks, everyone! I'm glad to meet everyone!

Cool, John Radtke. Horror Comedy is one of my favorite genre mixes. I'm doing great. I've mainly been networking the past two weeks. I also outlined some scripts. Trying to figure out which idea I'm gonna write into a script.

Sounds like fun John Radtke - As I work on a steampunk samurai/western mix, I'm learning all that I can on producing by taking some ed courses on S32. Interesting stuff!

Nice to meet you, Jeffrey B. Wayne ! Congratulations on all the accolades for "San Francisco Cowboy" and thank you for sharing "Pakistani Chainsaw: A Love Story" I am already hooked by the title :)

Elena Maro Thank you, and I actually came up with the titles for both these projects and the director/co-writer was gracious enough to go with them :)

Jeffrey B. Wayne that's great. The TV Films I work on are many times retitled which, on a practical point of view, may sometimes complicate tracking royalties a bit, but as long as those movies get aired, hey, I am not complaining at all ;)

Elena Maro I see what you mean! My wife and I have definitely seen and enjoyed some of your tv movies. Very cool

Will do, Jeffrey B. Wayne.

Dale Reynolds on the browser, tap on Lounges. Then All Lounges and then it will show you a list of all the lounges of which A & P is one of them. Have fun!

Sounds fascinating!

Come to this networking event if you're based in London. There are actors that attend as they too are networking. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lets-make-films-august-2023-london-tickets-677018991027

You may also find other crew that also have theatre experience there.

Thank you, Greg Wong, for your good advice. Unfortunately, I am only seeing it now. I'll look out for future events with eventbrite. Thanks for your kindness.

As a writer of comedy features (specializing in rom-coms), I appreciate and admire your sardonic qualities.

Love the pic! Just starting my production journey with a short film once I make a couple of script updates. The question "Am I ready?" always comes up, but I know it's just a case of getting it done! So, I'll lock the script, find some people and start making movies!

That picture is impressive.

Asmaa Jamil thanks! On location for film project in Iowa! Awesome park with cool rock formations.

Edward Terry - you're never fully ready! Just go for it!

Greetings from Waterloo :) Been thinking about delving into film making myself.

David Horton hi David, nice to meet you, and thank you!

Geoff Hall indeed it was, but I like to live my life that way--far more adventurous. I have actually found myself at times describing London as either a Wonderland or the trenches. Plenty of possibilities on both sides of that polarity. I do love how deeply embedded into the culture the arts are here though-- something I'm not sure those who grew up here are really aware of the extent of and its benefits. I'm glad I stayed this long this time to really experience the value of that over a longer period. Also, the location is obviously a big plus in comparison to Melbourne. I would say the creative spark has arisen from a 'dark night of the soul' type of experience. This really has been the greatest gift of my travels -- the return to my creative side after years of neglect, but I sense it was always going to be my path now that I'm back here.

Wonderful work you've done, Caterina Graziella Viterale! And you're right, those skills will be an asset as a director where you strive to bring out the best from your cast and crew.

Hi, Caterina. I liked how you described yourself and what your interests are. I would be interested in collaborating, if you would like. I'm in need of a screenwriter with sentiment similar to what you described.

If you have a comedic sense about you, perhaps your perspective can complement mine, as I'm always looking for potential collaborators (I specialize in rom-coms, preferably with some sophistication).

Pleased to meet you Chad :-)

Things are great, Chad Newsome. Thanks for telling Tanya how cool I am. I finally got a seat at the cool kids table. Haha

welcome

Nice to meet you Chad Newsome . Wow, you really are a dreamer turned doer and I love that: congratulations on all your achievements and best of luck with "The Raid"!

Great story, Chad Newsome! Always keep getting back up!

You're welcome, Sai Marie (Sarah) Johnson. I don't think I've read a paranormal fantasy romance anthology before. Looking forward to checking out this one to read your story.

Maurice Vaughan This has 12 different stories in it by 12 different wonderful authors. I am really honored to be among some fine writers in this. Each story is between 15,000 and 25,000 words so it's a fairly long book with some great new and imaginative tales by some really creative minds. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm sure I will, Sai Marie (Sarah) Johnson.

Very cool! Congrats!

There is a book trailer I created for this story and I also scripted and hired the voice actor, Rythian Black to narrate. If anyone is curious feel free to take a peek on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/uEhlHaQz5EQ?si=WSvRqAtrBKdB2t7C

Thank you Emily, Leonardo and Maurice, I truly appreciate your support,

Emily, I have a western and contemporary crime drama, both finished but need editing

Hello David. I'm Gift. Your book sounds really interesting. Where can I find it?

You're welcome, David Blair.

Gift, thank you for your interest >> https://www.amazon.com/Dragons-Clouds-David-Blair/dp/1961204983/ref=monarch_sidesheet

Hope you've been great, Joanna Karselis. I'm most excited for "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget" because "Chicken Run" is one of my favorite Animation movies, I saw "Chicken Run" in theaters, and I'm curious what's gonna happen in part 2.

Hi, Joanna Karselis ! . I am glad to hear you are keeping yourself busy and I wish you all the best with your new job: congratulations! Maurice Vaughan, I am looking forward to watching the same movie ... and hearing Harry Gregson-Williams's score! The score for "Chicken Run" (which he co-wrote with John Powell) was part of my Film Score Analysis Class at Music College and it is one of my favorite ever!

Joanna Karselis for me it’s Dune 2. Villeneuve rocks!

I didn't know that about "Chicken Run," Elena Maro. I'll have to go back and listen to the score more closely as I watch.

H Patricia,

welcome to stage32 ;-)

Hi, Patricia Stepp. How's your pilot and Sci-Fi script going?

Geoff, I have a two-part drama series pilot script and a science fiction feature film script. Thanks for asking Maurice, I just started editing/revising my pilot script and I need to finish the sci-fi script. That one is coming a little slower, but I'm concentrating on the pilot first. Oh, I am using Drama Queen. any thoughts on that software.

You're welcome, Patricia Stepp. I've heard of Drama Queen, but I haven't used it. I've been meaning to check it out. How do you like it?

Hi, Patricia Stepp. I am a Los Angeles based Film and Television Composer and a Stage 32 Thought Leader and I think you're absolutely right about how supportive and helpful this community is. Nice to meet you!

Maurice Vaughan, it's been a while since we last spoke to each other.

Yeah, it's been a while, Cee Whirx. I've been busy with a lot of projects and moderating on Stage 32. It's great to catch up though. Congratulations on collaborating with Danial, Jasper, and Jose on "Ryder & The Deer Guardians"!

Cee Whirx Hey there, Cee! It's been a while. How are your projects going? Are you full of anticipation for good things?

Lovely to meet you, Cee Whirx! Looks like a fun project.

Nice to meet you, Cee Whirx . Best of luck with "Ryder & The Deer Guardians", it sounds like a lot of fun!
