I've been writing as a hobby for years, mainly to help maintain my sanity and take my mind off of work as a Casting Director when it gets super stressful. I primarily cast commercials, and the workload and fast-paced turn-around time can really wear on you. I'm ready to take my writing to the next level. I have a feature thriller I'm very proud of that I think is marketable, and I also have a pilot that would make a great show. Looking forward to becoming part of this community.

Hey, Justin Radley! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and welcome to the community! 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
Wow, yeah, I bet casting directing can be stressful! Congrats on your feature, that's awesome! Are you looking for feedback on your script for your next revision or are you looking to start pitching it to executives? Definitely reach out to our Director of Script Services, Jason Mirch, who is excellent at matching projects with potential executives (or managers, in your case): J.Mirch@stage32.com
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 Acting Lounge as well - would you be willing to post a little insight into the world of casting for our Stage 32 talent? I know they'd appreciate learning from your experience! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting
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. Cheers!
Hi Justin, welcome! Happy to network.
