About this meetup

Happy June, LA-based creators!

After last month's low-key meet-up, we're so excited to see you all again at Jameson's this month! Let's come back together in person ahead of this month's "Introduce Yourself Weekend" starting Friday, June 16th in our Introduce Yourself Lounge.

While this is a great opportunity to network and meet new people in the industry, this is also the best time to check in with community members you have already met and support each other. Take a moment to reach out with a direct message before you meet in person to start the conversation today!

Join me, Kay Ross, and our Stage 32 Writer Liaison, Emily Jermusyk, for an evening of fun and conversation with your fellow directors, screenwriters, producers, actors, cinematographers, editors, and other industry creatives! This event will last until 9:00 pm but you're welcome to stay and enjoy the live music.

Upon arrival, please check in, grab a nametag, and get an official photo! You'll be directed inside from there. Don't wait to network! Direct Message attendees NOW to see if you want to continue the conversation in person!

Also, in years past, we've been able to accept donations so our networking events can do twice the good of normal industry parties. This year, we would love to accept any canned or packaged foods to donate to the LA Food Bank!

When you check in with Emily or me as you enter, we'll have a box to accept food donations: hot or cold cereals, dry and canned beans, canned soups, stews, peanut butter, tuna, and canned fruits and vegetables. Whatever you can give is greatly appreciated! And then you'll have your hands free to grab food, a drink or three, and get networking!

Finally, Be sure to post pictures of yourself at the event and use the hashtag #iamStage32 for a special drawing that evening. Don't forget to tag @stage32 @stage32scripts, @RBwalksintoabar, @emilyjwrites, and @k.osswrites on your social posts so everyone knows where the #Stage32 #PartyforGood is!

If you're interested in volunteering for the event, please email me with VOLUNTEER in the subject line: K.Ross@stage32.com.

Coffee & Content - How to Act on Camera & Creating the Ultimate Antagonist (The Dark Knight)

Happy Sunday, everyone. Trust you're all having a great weekend?We're still buzzing from what was a remarkable and inspiring day at the Stage 32/LA Acting Studio's 1st Film Con Hollywood. We'll have more updates about and some cool video from the event coming soon. Until then, let's get to this edition of Coffee & Content. First up, how about 2 dudes talking acting? It's Film Acting Tips: How to Act on Camera, with Chris Mack. I love the conversational and relaxed tone of this vid. Almost makes you overlook the great reminders and quality nuggets of info within. Next up, is there anything better in storytelling than a killer antagonist? That was a rhetorical question by the way...at least in my mind. Anyway, here's a video from the Lessons from the Screenplay team titled The Dark Knight - Creating the Ultimate Antagonist. Have a feeling you'll watch this one at least a couple of times. Pick your roast, settle in and enjoy the content. As always, my only ask is that you hit those share buttons above and/or email a link to this blog to those you feel would benefit from viewing. And, of course, I always love hearing your thoughts on the material. Feel free to muse or vent in the comment section below. Have an awesome day! Cheers!

Avoid These Crowdfunding Mistakes on Social Media!

One of the more popular requests we get here at Stage 32 is information on best practices for promoting a crowdfunding campaign on social media. Recently, spurred on by the sheer amount of crowdfunding spam he was receiving on his Twitter and Instagram accounts, our CEO, RB, republished his popular Medium article: 5 Ways You Are Incorrectly Using Twitter to Promote Your Crowdfunding Campaign. Although the article singles out Twitter, these mistakes and ill advised practices are common across all social media platforms, including right here on Stage 32! This is not only a must read for those embarking on a campaign, but involves best practices for networking, relationship building and branding as well. We ask that you please recommend the article on Medium by clicking on the heart button at the bottom of the piece, and share this information with other film creatives you feel could benefit from the content. And as a reminder, you can follow RB on Medium, and on Twitter and Instagram at @RBwalksintoabar Enjoy!
