Hello, Stage-32ers! I hope you're enjoying meeting a slew of cool creatives this weekend! I, myself, have been catching up with a few friends, old and new, and can't wait for you to meet them!
Today, my networking buddy is a new friend, Cedric "Benny" Benjamin (https://www.stage32.com/profile/845501/about), an actor and screenwriter from NYC. He recently posted a challenge in the Filmmaking Lounge to encourage himself to meet a new filmmaker every day for 30 days. He's already met at least a dozen since starting the challenge - how cool! https://www.stage32.com/blog/Summer-Fun-Challenge-Introduce-Your-FRIEND-...
He's currently shopping around a comedy pilot, so definitely hit him up if you like The Office-type humor! He enjoys both comedy and drama, is vegetarian, and is excited to make more contacts on the West Coast - my LA peeps, please give him a warm welcome!
Benny and I have enjoyed our recent conversations about directing while in front of the camera and I deeply appreciate how self-aware and self-nurturing he is. Whether you are interested in his work as an actor or as a screenwriter, I would love for you to add this fantastic human being to your roster of friends.
ICEBREAKER: What's your favorite cheat meal? Benny and I gushed over brisket, which he makes but doesn't eat - what self-control! BRISKET IS FANTASTIC LOL!

You are most welcome, Cedric! Aww, thank you for that - both of you!
Dude, Richard "RB" Botto, you're the fire that's lit all this motivation into gear! Did you see that I finally started posting my loglines? I'll have another one shortly, but for now - I'm getting braver every day because of this fantastic community you started. THANK YOU!
Now, let's talk about one of our favorite subjects - FOOD! We just checked out the Breakfast Republic yesterday for brunch. Gluten-free french toast? GET IT! LOL https://www.breakfastrepublic.com/ Cedric - when you get into town, we are hitting up the Commissary for sure!

Hi Cedric. Very pleased to meet you!
Damn! Mine isn't finished yet! However, it's not quite "The Office" kind of humor.
Greetings from INDIA
