Stage 32 Success Stories

This afternoon word came across the pond that my screenplay, CACTUS JUNCTION, was selected into the 2019 Shepparton Screenwriting Festival. I am particularly pleased since I wrote this western (Erin Brokovich meets Deadwood) with two actors in mind, both of whom I met at the Dam Short Film Festival earlier this year. Next thing you know, I'll be reaching out to other talent I have in mind, securing LOIs, then officially holding my hat in my hand.

My 10 Ring Films family and I made a short film for a timed contest in Cincinnati called Winterfilm. We received 10 nominations and won Best Actress, Best Location Sound, Best Screenplay and overall Best Picture! I’ve been nominated several times for writing, but this is my first win. I produced and directed this as well, but had an awesome team behind me.

Found out last evening that my screenplay, REJECTED BY RUMOR, is one of thirteen finalists in the 2019 Byron Bay Film Festival. Excited to have recognition from this esteemed festival and those down under.

I'm very pleased to announce that The Invader is a finalist at the 2019 FilmQuest Film Festival, a wonderful genre festival. 

Please to say I've been hired again by Toil Films to work on FLY GIRLS, a thrilling WWII feature script.

Well, the short film I penned, OTRO LADO, has done it again. We are an official selection in the Coronado Island Film Festival happening the first weekend in November. I know several of our team members are planning to attend. So, if you're in the area, come check out our evocative border story. Congrats to our team (several Stage32ers)!

I'm pleased to be recognized by another hometown film festival being held at a hotel in the popular Austen Domain. Austen Under the Stars has chosen The Other Austen Girl as an official selection. I look forward to attending in October.
