Introduce Yourself : Showing up by Johnny Zito

Showing up

Hi Stage 32 family! Hope all are safe, happy, and healthy. I've been showing up every day and chipping away, doing as much as possible. In development for a Feature, "Pulse of My Heart"; the screenplay is a finalist at The Beyond the Curve International Film Festival in Paris, France. My short film, Loves Lives in a Void" is also a finalist in that same fest. It's also been selected for the Raleigh Film and Art Festival. I'm stoked that it will be online as part of The Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival (27th August- 3rd September) where one of my fave filmmakers, Ken Loach, will be a featured speaker.

Thank you for taking the time to read and let's all keep safe and keep moving forward!

Hey, Johnny Zito! Good to see you again, sir! Congrats on your screenwriting success, that's fantastic! Anything to submit to Stage 32's contests, by chance? Right now we have a Diverse Voices Contest (https://www.stage32.com/happy-writers/contests/1st-Annual-Diverse-Voices...) and a New Voices in Animation Contest (https://www.stage32.com/happy-writers/contests/1st-Annual-New-Voices-in-...).

I'd love for you to post in the Filmmaking Lounge about how you've been keeping busy in development: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing Do you find it's been restful being away from production, or more hectic?
