Hi all, I have always wanted to write a book. From a young age, I created my own story worlds, submerging myself in novels — historical, romance, thrillers, name it all. I ended up in the newsroom after college and I enjoy what I do. But lately, I found my creativity nudging me towards scriptwriting. I love films. Hollywood, Nollywood, European films, Asian films. As long as there is a good story, I'm grabbing my popcorn.
The joy of seeing one's story coming to life in motion pictures is inexplicable. So lately, I have been taking classes in scriptwriting. Thank you Stage 32 for the Netflix webinar. It really opened my eyes to a lot.
So wish me luck as I embark on this new journey.

Nice to meet you, Vanessa Obioha :)
HI Vanessa Obioha ! Welcome to Stage 32. The Netflix webinar was quite a game changer for me, I really enjoyed it as well, it inspired me to make a lot of changes to the way I approach my pitches. I've been on Stage32 for a while and I will say I have gotten so much out of the platform as far as learning and growing as a writer is concerned. If you haven't already, consider joining the Writers' Room, it's a cool and diverse group of writers who are supportive. We have pitch practices, script readings, script coverage meetings, and executive webinars. It's been the best part of my time on the platform. Reach out to Jason Mirch j.mirch@stage32.com and he will offer you a free month to the writers' room so you can dip a toe in. I promise you will a lot out of that month. Nice to meet you.
Thank you Louisa. Will check it out. And nice to meet you too.
