What Do You Need Help With?

Need A Job? Or Want To Get Your Project Produced Or Distributed? Or Get Yourself Or Your Project Greater Visibility? My Favorite Thing To Do Is To Help Others Succeed! I’m a producer for film & television; career coach; fundraising consultant ;publicist; and writer. I am always looking for new people I can help and meet with. Whether you're looking to create greater success in your career or find greater visibility or funding for your project, I would love to help you (if I can) by meeting with you in the afternoon or early evening soon over coffee at my favorite Starbucks either in NoHO or near Warner Brothers in Burbank, CA... Connect with me here and on my several Facebook pages (one personal, one as a producer and one for my firm, Charnay & Associates)...and on LinkedIn see my LinkedIn profile (under Dr. John B. Charnay) for my email and connect with me there...plus do so on Twitter....and let’s chat!

Cindy Myskiw

I love what you wrote! Now that is putting it out there to be reached! Have a great weekend, John.

John Charnay

Thanks, Cindy! You, too! I love what YOU wrote! LOL

Bode Alao

Hi, John. I'm new here. I'm a screenwriter and as a matter of fact, I'm from Nigeria. I'm interested in the angle of creating greater success for my career as a writer. But how does that add up when it's impossible to hook up with you at your favorite Starbucks? Well, guess I can start with facebook and LinkedIn. Thanks.

John Charnay

Bode: It is largely about face-to-face relationships in the entertainment industry---in L.A. and in NYC. While it is not impossible to succeed from distant places not in the show business vortex, it is less easy to do. Start by seeking connections with those in the industry with the power to and interest in helping you, Bode. I am not one of those...yet.

Bode Alao

Thanks.

Brian Bonardi

Hey John, I'm Brian Bonardi. I just read what your wrote and its a great introduction. I live in NJ and I'm just starting out in Film/TV as I just finished school last winter. I did some work on shorts, web series, and one feature, all PA work and I'm looking for both work as well as assistance in raising equity for a short film I wrote and wish to produce.

Juliette Garrigues

Hello John, I'm Juliette, I live in New York. I would like to meet you. I would like to submit my feature lengh screenplay Smile, you're on camera! to you for consideration. With this script, I was top finalist at teh Mexico screenplay contest and finalist to the Las Vegas screenplay contest and the Creative World Awards. I also have different projects almost completed. All best, Have a good day.

Bo. R. R. Tolkien

Thanks John. I appreciate your help and association. I have many screenplays, a series and future screenplays I am perfecting and evolving.

Conrad Ekeke

Hi John, I'm a passionate writer hoping and trying endlessly hard to either have one of my screenplays made to a movie and distributed etc. I've had several sad experiences writing as Co-writers with guys who made fat promises and once I had their scripts ready, they went off and never came back. However, I live in Cameroon and I've been talking with Stanley, who shares the same passions as you do. I need help getting my screenplays made to movies. I understand meeting up with you is important but it's what I can't do for now so far but I can proudly tell you this, I'm one of those Cameroonians who with constant Internet connection. It's a great deal here and I would be very grateful if at least, this can cause you to look my way. conradekeke@gmail.com is my email and I'll connect with you on Facebook and LinkedIn. My Skype ID is Conrad.ekeke. Best, Conrad.

Frances Emerson

hi John: I, too, would like someone to say yes to one of my screenplays or my sitcom pilot. Would love some help, too, getting something sold.

Conrad Ekeke

Also John, if it's about meeting up with someone living in the US, I have two very reliable co-writers living in CA. A couple actually. They've been very reliable and we've written about 4 screenplays already, registered but no representations or agents to take a look. So, could that work out?

Tsara Shelton

Howdy, John! So, my son is an actor and PA living in Simi Valley, CA. He's just gotten himself a car and would love to start working his pattootie off! He's an excellent PA but has worked on still photo shoots only, so far. He wants, though, to get into film, as a PA, actor, producer and, eventually, director. Actually, all four of my sons would like that and are planning to start their own entertainment company in a few years (www.fourbrothersoneworld.com is their website). Soooooo..... if you have any advice or ideas you can share with him we'd appreciate it!! He doesn't have a computer--yet!-- so he isn't active here on Stage 32 but he does have a profile: https://www.stage32.com/profile/358606. And if you're bored, hey, feel free to read my screenplay! It's on my Stage 32 profile. Okay, this was fun for me! My favorite thing in the world is to be helpful, I'm famous for it! So showing off the places where I could use some help (I have no idea how to help my son do PA work on film sets) is new to me. I kinda like it! Thank you so much for asking!!

Izzibella Beau

Hello, Mr. Charnay. Foremost, thank you for offering those of us who are new to the business. There is so much to learn and do, at times I feel way over my head. I have written several books that have done fairly well on Amazon and I've gained a small following. I am just starting the idea of putting one of my book series, Assumptions, into a movie or TV series. I would love to get an honest opinion if a professional, such as yourself, may think this is a worthy project. Please let me know if you'd have the time to look over a brief synopsis. Thank you once again. Izzibella
