Areale Hanks
Creative Writer: Currently Interested in Pre-Production

Hello, my name is A'reale. I'm new to Stage 32. I'm a creative writer with an interest in hybrid novel-to-film adaptions, music sync licensing, and possibly screenplay writing. I'm here to learn, connect, network, get inspired, gain insights, and most importantly grow in my craft.

Back in screenwriting

Hey everybody, my name is Nikki Lee, Floridian screenwriter here. I left screenwriting a few years back (2018) because I was trying to "adult" and I was convinced that screenwriting was a "pipe dream." I've missed it ever since and decided to come back to it in this year.

Anyway, I've written over 2...
