My name is Donald and I have been a screenwriter for twenty years, and a few years ago, I decided to expand my knowledge of the filmmaking craft and learn about cinematography. I am hoping to produce and film my first independent film in the greater Houston, TX sooner or later, and hopefully I can network with the talent and crew in the city to make it happen.
Hey, Donald Andrews! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and welcome to the community! Wow, congrats on such a long and successful writing career - that's amazing! Where are you at in the process of your feature film? We've got TONS of resources to help you produce it!
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 Cinematography Lounge - maybe you can discuss what you learned as a writer by expanding your knowledge into camera language? https://www.stage32.com/lounge/cinematography
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.
Welcome Donald!
