Hey everyone, I'm Seth. I am an Art Director and Illustrator (I.A.T.S.E. local 800) as my career, but I have had this story in my head since college, and I think people will really enjoy my universe.
I saw a link to the Chris Mack webinar about pitch decks, and that's how I got connected with Stage 32. I loved the webinar, and have enjoyed many other great learning tools from Stage 32. When the "New Voices in Animation" contest appeared here, I thought it was my chance to get my story out there.
So I entered with a chance to resubmit after coverage. I got the coverage, which was super helpful and I reworked the pilot like 50 times and resubmitted on the last day.
Now keep in mind that as a comic book lover and story teller with high end art skill and training, I have looked at this story so many times. I have been drawing keyframes for like 15 years. So I got the knowledge from Chris Mack and made a pitch deck. I compiled the best of my concept art. I trademarked my logo. I registered my script with the WGA, and I built a website where it all lives.
That's where you come in, I don't think I have been utilizing Stage 32's networking properly. I have loved all the learing tools, so any tips from all of you would be greatly appreciated.

I'm so interested in the world you're looking to create! Is it a genre film?

Yes it is a sci fi genre series. As I have always loved animation, and feel that 3D animation will lend itself well to the story.
