SHADOW IN HAWTHORN BAY: “This feature film screenplay is a bold but deceptively old-fashioned drama that has good character work and an intimately epic scope. A sweeping, at times very haunting, drama, extremely we...

Besides Stage32, I’ve also seen some filmmakers connect through forums like Reddit (e.g. r/Shortfilms), or through listings on FilmFreeway and even select Discord communities.
