Hello. My name is Dev. I am a British born and raised screenwriter that has written multiple scripts over the past couple of years. Being the son of immigrant parents from Jamaica whilst living in London, my work is influenced by the experiences I have had living in a diverse society. I love crafting stories with interesting characters and developed a strong desire to write screenplays a couple of years ago after watching a video by Aaron Sorkin on the art of script writing. Since then, I've worked on perfecting my craft. My script Mother Miya Megan Mister has seen some inverter from producers and has placed as a finalist in the Prague International Monthly Film Festival. I really want to connect with creatives of all sorts on Stage32 and hopefully work with some of you in the future.
Hey, Jake Maida Vale! 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, what a cool background you have, and congrats on being a finalist! Have you checked out any of Stage 32's education or contests? If you're trying to get your project sold or made, I think you'll find them beneficial, especially since you can choose the executive who reads your script.
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:

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!
