Great Connection through Stage 32

My screenplay, "Mathematical Mermaid," was requested after I sent a Stage 32 written pitch to Tiffany Boyle, President of Packaging and Sales. She liked the screenplay, and we had a great discussion. She gave me some good tips, and now she is helping me find a producer. Thanks Stage 32!

Luxolo Jos

Awesome, Sandy. All the best.

Richard "RB" Botto

Tiffany is one of my favorite people in the biz (just had dinner with her in Cannes) and, as Pat Alexander mentioned, having her request is no small feat.

Richard "RB" Botto

Ah! And I just saw you signed an agreement with her. Even better, Sandy Fox-sohner!

Sandy Fox-sohner

Thank you. I do enjoy working with Tiffany. She is very personable and is well known in the industry.

Richard "RB" Botto

She, and the entire Ramo team, are as good as it gets, Sandy Fox-sohner. And they're all fabulous, caring human beings to boot.
