Hey everyone - I’m the Director of Education here at Stage 32 and it’s such an honor to be a part of this community. I’m inspired by you all every day. I’m also a producer of film and television. I’m currently an executive producer on the Disney+ series GENIUS: MLK/X, which will premiere later this year. My favorite people are people who create and make things. What art are you creating and making right now?

I'm working on a rewriting job and a pitch deck job, Sam Sokolow. I'm also pitching projects. Are you working on any spec projects?

Hey Sam Sokolow - nice to e-meet you. I just wrapped my company's latest video production for a new client we booked. I'm currently in the funding stage for my new short film The Girls Next Door (quarterfinalist at the ScreenCraft Film Fund!) and I'm writing my second feature screenplay which currently has no title lol. Really cool to be able to connect with other creatives and makers on this site! I'm glad this platform exists and I wish I had used it earlier.

Sam Sokolow - love learning new things about my colleagues!! Excited to hear about your involvement in GENIUS, Atlanta's ties run deep with MLK. This sounds like a really interesting take on history.

I'm getting ready to pitch my Christmas fantasy screenplay "A Carol for Christmas". Pitching seems even harder than the writing at this point!

Sam Sokolow Hi Sam! I'm SO grateful for the kind and encouraging support that all the staff grant. Loving it here. I'm currently working on rewrites for a kids animated pilot called, "Agents of C.O.W."
Here's the logline: When a young cow with Asperger's Syndrome is taken from a farm by a scorned alien cow, the cow is recruited by a group of adventurous, skilled cows to thwart a slow invasion of their homeworld.

Christopher Thomas - a number of things inspired me. 1) I love Christmas; my family calls me the "King of Christmas"; 2) my wife really starting getting into Hallmark Christmas movies a couple of years ago and I started watching them with her. I felt that I could write something along those lines but with maybe more gravitas involved; and 3) "It's a Wonderful Life" is my favorite film of all time.

Right now I'm finishing the adaptation of my published novel (in Spanish) and it's really tough to adapt your own novel (as it will be tough to find a producer). I'm also writing a theatre play and translating the first chapters of my last novel into English for an agent in USA.
