Hi everyone! My name is Nicole, I'm a screenwriter from a little town called "Two Rivers, Wisconsin". I have been a writer since the time I was a kid and as I grew older I became fascinated with film. After seeing "Lord of the Rings" I was hooked on being part of the filmmaking world.
With the help of my best friend I was enrolled in the New York Film Academy in California. I learned how to write screenplays and I loved every moment of my experience there. Now even after my education, I sadly had to move back to Wisconsin, but it hasn't stopped me from my writing and production company dreams.
Not only do I dream about being a screenwriter, but one of my other biggest dreams is to own my own production company.
The kind of films I write are more action, thriller, and horror films. I have recently started to submit my screenplays into contests and they have won ELEVEN so far! I hope to get to know all of you. Thank you for taking the time to read my little blurb about myself.
Hey, Nicole M.! Great to meet you, and welcome to the community! Mmm, I feel you - Lord of the Rings was incredibly impactful for me as well. Mostly the dedication to physical SFX make-up, props, and costumes, but still.
Yeah, life has a way of pulling you back to where you need to be, but I'm glad you had your NYFA experience! What are you working on now? Or what would you like to be working on? Have you done any location scouting in your area to see what kind of films you could make there as part of that production company?
Other than the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), you should check out the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) and maybe the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing) to keep learning on your way to owning your own production company.
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 blog post on how to get the most out of the Stage32 Community:
