Rich Orstad - Screenwriter, Author, and New to 32!

Hello fellow creators! New to 32, so wanted to introduce myself. I live in Northern California, have been writing for over 10 years, and am an 8-time, top-10 finalist of several competitions (PAGE, Screencraft, Big Break). Am writing at a place where it's time to query and have a producer currently interested in one of my features, Endurance, based on a true-story (loglines in profile). I'm not repped, am open to being repped, and am very open to writing assignments. I look forward to meeting with you all in the future. Write on!

Wishing you even further success, Rich - sounds like great things are on their way to you in 2020!

Richard "RB" Botto

Hey Rich! Great to have you here and congratulations on all your success! When you get a second, drop our Director of Script Services, Jason Mirch, a line. He's a 10 year industry vet and has been on the producing teams of films such as FLIGHT, BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL, and many more. He works directly with hundreds of writers here on Stage 32. You can get to him at J.Mirch@stage32.com - Cheers!

Thank you, Rowan and RB! I've definitely got my 2020 Vision dialed in. And will reach out to Jason, too. The webinar you all did for NationalScreenwritersDay was really excellent, and this is a fantastic platform for writers, as I've been roaming the site. Thank you for bringing us all together.

So glad you enjoyed it, Rich. Thought this version was thick with pertinent info. And yes, I think you'll love talking with Jason. We call him The Screenwriter Whisperer around here. Has his finger firmly on the pulse of what's happening in the industry, including what's selling, who's looking for new writers, etc. Finally, thank you for the kind words and positive vibes. Means a great deal to me.

Wayne Mann

I hope you will continue to reach for the stars and continue greatness. I hope to collaborate with such a wonderful creative such as yourself.

Rich Orstad

Thanks Wayne! Let's both get it done in 2020. Continued success!

And RB, thanks again! Reached out to Jason and hope to keep the conversation flowing. All the best.

Richard "RB" Botto

Excellent, Rich. And yes, here's to crushing the double 20's!
