Hey fellow Producers,
If you’re like me, you probably powered through this week just to make it to the long weekend with a clear head. We got our fireworks and BBQ in — now what? Now it’s a great moment to refocus on what we want as creatives.
So here’s the nudge:
Stage32 just launched the July Filmmakers Club this week — and the Week One Challenge is live right here:
https://www.stage32.com/blog/july-filmmakers-club-week-1-setting-your-in...
Nothing fancy — just a chance to commit to one goal this month that moves your project (or career) forward. Use this weekend energy to pick yours and set the tone for the rest of the month.
Here's a handful of simple but strategic producing goals to consider:
- Finalize a budget or schedule for a current project
- Reach out to 3 new potential collaborators (writers, DPs, composers, etc.)
- Reconnect with one director or investor you've been meaning to follow up with
- Polish your pitch deck or logline — just 1 hour of effort can make a huge difference
- Research one grant, fund, or festival deadline and mark it in your calendar
We know that SPECIFIC goals have a higher probability of getting done - BUT we're in charge of the level of specificity.
When you’ve picked your goal — don’t post it here. Head over to the Filmmakers Lounge and share it there so the community can cheer you on (and so we can all keep each other accountable this month).
If you’re in, comment below and let me know you're headed to the Filmmakers Lounge — I’ll meet you there!
Let’s use this month to get sh*t done — together!

Sebastian Tudores Awesome! DO I need to be a producer to participate? Because a lot of these goals and vibes feel necessary to think about and do even as a screenwriter!

Not at all Rosie Schreiber - you are absolutely correct. it's for everyone involved in any aspect of filmmaking. In fact, I posted something similar to the screenwriting lounge; may help give you some ideas: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/Writers-Let-s-Make-July-Cou...
