Hi, Stage 32 Community!

I'll be here all day Friday, November 28th, answering any and all questions you may have about properly utilizing agents, managers, and development executives for your projects and overall careers. Go ahead and start leaving me your questions in the comments below!

More about me and my experiences:

Jon Hersh is an independent literary manager working with writer and writer/director clients in film and TV. Jon created Night Drive Management (previously Housefire Management) in 2017 with the intent of finding bold voices with incendiary material. Since then, his clients have gone on to develop film and TV projects with Netflix, Universal, Amazon, Disney, Lionsgate, Paramount, FX, TriStar, AMC, and many others. His clients are regularly on the annual Black List, and in 2022 his client was #1 on the list. Before breaking into management, Jon was a Development Executive at Broad Green Pictures, a fledgling film financier and distributor. During his tenure, he had a hand in developing a slate of quality projects for the 90 employee company, delivering detailed project notes to writers. Before working in development, Jon began his career at Creative Artists Agency where he worked as a full-time story analyst for four years. While there, he evaluated thousands of screenplays, pilots, and books, and gave detailed story notes to high-level clients of the agency. He is an alumnus of USC's School of Cinematic Arts program and currently resides in West Hollywood with his wife and two sons.

Here to answer questions like:

How do I get noticed by reps?

How do I prepare my portfolio of screenplays?

How can I get fresh eyes on my work?

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Eva, I am a filmmaker and fine artist from Colorado. I graduated with a BFA in film production from CU Boulder in 2020. Now based in Brooklyn, I work in film and video production as an EDITOR and PRODUCTION DESIGNER.

My professional experience is mostly in feature films and docuseries, while my personal work reflects my passion for experimental documentary and sustainable art.

I see filmmaking not only as expression, but as a means of healing and communion. I believe in the emotional and social power of storytelling to restore a sense of wonder and kinship in an often disconnected world. I aim to create peaceful and whimsical spaces through my work that allow for hearts to expand.

I'm currently looking for work in both of my specialties - any advice on how to best use this site for work opportunities would be appreciated :)

Looking forward to connecting!
