Introduce Yourself : New here — hello! by Dutch Godshalk

New here — hello!

I’m Dutch. I’m new to Stage 32, though I’ve been kicking around the aspiring screenwriter circles for a while. I’ve been a professional writer and editor for several years, but I’ve only been pursuing screenwriting since around 2021.

I currently have three completed (and copyrighted) feature-length horror scripts, with another on its final polish as we speak. Each of these scripts is a grounded, humorous thriller with emotional depth. My goal is simply to keep writing as many completed stories as I can, hoping for the best.

Not sure what (if anything) I’m trying to get from this community other than to meet a few more like-minded weirdos who scribble scripts.

So, hello!

Hi, Dutch Godshalk. Welcome to the community. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Screenwriting Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're introducing yourself and promoting your scripts. Let me know if you have any questions.

Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world (www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...).

Stage 32 had a live Community Open House the other day. The recording will be available to watch soon (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-s-june-community-open-house-...). It'll also help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros.

Congratulations on finishing three scripts and getting close to done on the fourth! You could post your script on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your script on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

You're welcome, Dutch Godshalk. Stage 32 also has a blog for up-and-coming screenwriters I suggest checking out (www.stage32.com/blog/the-questions-up-and-coming-screenwriters-need-to-a...).

And I'm a like-minded weirdo who scribbles scripts, mainly Horror and Action.
