Does Stage32 actually help writers from Africa?

I am a screenwriter from Nigeria. I know there is a lot more writing opportunities in Africa now with streaming platforms showing more interest in content from the continent. Stage32 looks like a global platform but I wonder if it is as useful for Africans as it is for people in Europe and America.

Hi, I'm from Kenya. I have had the chance to pitch and send my script to an exec that has worked with Showmax, so I think it does. And the education has also been very valuable for me especially the Netflix-related ones.

Stage 32 is just the platform that connects - like LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook. If there are more opportunities to connect executives from Africa with Stage 32's members, I'm sure the Stage 32 team would wholeheartedly consider adding them to their roster. Definitely reach out to our Director of Script Services, Jason Mirch, who is excellent at matching projects with potential executives: J.Mirch@stage32.com
