I am just getting started in the areas of screenwriting and filmmaking. I am from Delaware's East Coast, and even though it is not exactly L.A., I am ready and committed to a process (however long it will take) of learning as well as developing and completing this type of project. I don't need cast and crew right now, but if I could connect with people in this field, especially those involved in the family/faith-based genre, that would be great! Update: I am slowly getting through the first draft of the screenplay. I estimate completing somewhere around 20 scenes this summer followed by an extensive editing phase.

Greetings, Joseph!
Welcome, Joseph. Good introduction! (Could I suggest that you copy and paste it onto your Profile Page. :-) ) Wishing you every success!
Hey, Joseph Ciccanti! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you! I've met more than a few members who are interested in family/faith-based genre films by keeping regular tabs on the Introduce Yourself Lounge, especially since once a month we host an Introduce Yourself Weekend, so members that have been around for a while also re-introduce themselves there. Scroll through and see who stands out to you: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/introduce_yourself
Otherwise, I think you'd enjoy meeting like-minded filmmakers in the Filmmaking Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing I wasn't sure if you saw, but there is a post in the Filmmaking Lounge that is great for networking and getting to know members through "The Film That Lit Your Fuse". I'd love for you to jump in on the conversation! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing/The-Film-That-Lit-Your-Fuse
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time.
Hey, Joseph Ciccanti! I'm not a new writer, but I've recently started doing faith-based stuff. Have you ever checked out the Christian Entertainment Guild?

Thanks all for the greetings and encouragement--nice to meet everyone on here! Wayne, thanks for the suggestion--I did copy and paste the message as I still learn to navigate this site (looks like a lot of helpful resources and opportunities to connect). I will check out the Christian Entertainment Guild. Thanks for that info, John and thanks also for the very helpful info, Karen!
