Introduce Yourself : Joan Dougherty Screenwriter by Joan Dougherty

Joan Dougherty Screenwriter

Hello, and welcome to my very first post. I’m a new member of Stage 32 and a relative newcomer to screenwriting, having only recently made the transition from print to film. I have to say that I’m happy with the switch and love having a new way of telling stories. After all, storytelling has been a lifelong interest of mine. I’ve just finished a screenplay called Over the Edge, a short drama that I call a fable for adults. I’m looking forward to connecting with you and having a chance to learn as much as I can about the film industry.

Hey, Joan! Welcome to the Stage32 Community! I was looking over your profile, but you don't have much there. Tell me about yourself! Also, I would recommend including a profile photo so people feel more inclined to connect with you. Don't be afraid - we're a supportive lot!

What made you want to make the switch from print to film? And does "print" mean novels or newspapers?

Actually, I would love your feedback on my first blog post, if you feel so inclined. I'm a writer by necessity, but a natural actor/producer, so I'd be so grateful for your insight! https://www.stage32.com/blog/How-to-Make-Friends-in-the-Film-Business-Re...

Ooo, Canada! I know, I know, it's "O, Canada" LOL! Would you be interested in participating in my "Paris, Je T'aime" challenge in the Filmmakers Lounge? It's just a fun way to get to know other members by learning about their city: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing/Paris-Je-Taime-for-Wishful-Thin...
