It's been a long while since I've been active on Stage32, would love to meet some fresh faces in the industry, potential collaborators and possibly lifelong friends who work in the same circles :)
I am originally Middle Eastern therefore bilingual, and greatly excited to join, know more about projects that encourage diversity and inclusion!
Lovely to meet everyone in the forum and look forward to being in touch with some of you.
Hey, Nassma Al Bahrani! Welcome back to the community, it's good to meet you! First - I love your IG tags. I also consider myself a #FreeSpirit and read tarot. Second, congrats on your MFA! Are you still in London? Finally, I would love to know more about how being bilingual has worked to your advantage in this industry. It's been a big discussion of late that one of the doors that may be closed in Hollywood is that the people you may be pitching to don't speak anything other than English. Maybe you could start a post about your experience in the Producing Lounge? https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing
Oh, I see you have experience in animation and video games as well, how cool! I think you'd enjoy meeting like-minded creatives in the Animation Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/animation) and Transmedia Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/transmedia) as well.
Oooo, I think this calls for a little icebreaker: what series are you currently obsessed with? Could be a top 3, no need to limit yourself ;-)

Hey there Nassma..welcome! I was one of the original members years ago, took a long sabbatical and returned recently.
Thank you Karen "Kay" Ross for the lovely welcome and encouraging words! I'm back and forth between London and the Middle East, it's been quite the journey since COVID but it has opened up new doors and potentials. I will definitely look into the forums you shared, sounds exciting. Current obsessions: The Good Doctor, Never Have I Ever, and Outlander! I just finished binging on Bridgerton and look forward to adding more onto the list, but Netflix has been an amazing escape and inspiration from the realities of life now a days :) How about yours?
Thank you @jonathankramer I look forward to being back :)
