Introduce Yourself : Writer, Storyteller by James Muthuuri

Writer, Storyteller

Hi Stage 32 family. My name is James Muthuuri and I'm in Palmdale CA. I've been a storyteller most of my life and currently I'm working to get my story "Man In A Cage" produced or sold. The story is a contained thriller about an agoraphobic man's beachfront mansion, that is invaded by 2 masked men searching for a rare blood diamond. I recently completed the first draft of another feature called "Summer Bunny" which is about a young African lady living in America going back to Africa to bury her estranged father. Once I'm done with this feature, I intend to start work on a feature that tells the story of an African-American super hero. Looking forward to a year filled with great writing and networking. Godspeed to all my fellow creatives on this platform!!!

Great to meet you, James Muthuuri, and welcome to the community! Oh, dude, I'd LOVE to see more African-American superheroes! I remember having a conversation about how it was atrocious that our outdated superhero IP has more "aliens of color" than "people of color". Truly outrageous.

I see you already posted your loglines on your profile, great start! If you're looking for feedback, I would suggest leaving feedback on others' loglines and ending it with a request for them to return the favor: https://www.stage32.com/loglines

Have you put together a pitch for your screenplay as well? I would highly recommend using Stage 32's free Pitching Guidebook to help you structure your pitch, whether it is a 2-page pitch document, a 5-minute verbal pitch, or a 15-30page pitch deck: https://www.stage32.com/sites/stage32.com/themes/two/pdfs/happy-writers/...
