Greetings Stage 32 fam! I'm a new screenwriter, am new here and am loving writing my stories. Looking forward to chatting you all up and learning some movie magic spice <3 I'm also a mom, healer and adventurer <3
I have a handful of stories dancing around in my brains, but recently finished my first- Cuz, Cuz. A mostly true story. Dark comedy with an Inarritu/Wolf of Wall Street/Old Yeller vibe. Ikr? It's fun, kinda.
And almost finished with Banal-pronounced the dirty way... Counting on the masses not knowing how to properly pronounce banal and saying it the dirty way anyhow... heehee. It's a satire about how lame war is... Mars Attacks/Spaceballs/50 Shades vibes... if that's possible... ;)
Peace and best wishes for 2021 all!!! <3

Hey, Amy Gray! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. If you'd like to learn more about myself and the Stage32 Team, we have an intro blog: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Meet-the-Stage-32-Team Nice to meet you and welcome to the community!
Ooo, healer? As in Reiki? I learned Reiki before I was an MT (for 14 years, retired now). Congratulations on your leap into screenwriting, that's awesome! Where are you at in the process? Do you need feedback before your next round of revisions? Or are you ready to submit it for contests? I would highly recommend getting Coverage by an Industry Reader, as it's standard to get notes before revisions: https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/coverage/buy?id=23&affid=mjm
I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely reach out on the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) for insight into characters, dialogue, and even when you want to generate interest in a virtual table read!
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:

Hi, Amy. Glad to connect. I remember the first scripts I wrote when I began screenwriting. I like your title, "Cuz, Cuz."
