Introduce Yourself : Screened at FLIFF35 by Lauren Hakulinen

Hey, Lauren Hakulinen! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you! Oh, hey, congrats on your doc screening in FL! That's fantastic! What made you want to submit it to the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival? Don't forget, for links you can either post them to your profile or post them in the Your Stage Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/promotion) for feedback or promotion.

I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but I'd LOVE for you to post in the Filmmaking Lounge about your experience filming your doc! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing I know other members would love to learn from your experience, too.

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.

Thanks so much Kay - I've known about Stage 32 for years, but never learned how to use it properly! Most of the time I'm gasping for air from treading water for so many years during the making of...

We're very close to having our paywall up, then we'll roll out our campaign. I think that would be a good time to start reaching out to groups.

But I'll post this - who knows what might happen. :)

Congratulations Lori!
