Hi Stage 32ers! I’m a producer, creator and educator. I am currently in production on the 4th season a show I executive produce for Disney+ called GENIUS. This season, GENIUS MLK/X, depicts the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X (previous seasons have depicted the lives of Einstein, Picasso and Aretha Franklin). I’m out pitching a documentary, another limited series and 2 features right now. I simply love the development and production process and love this community of passionate creatives. I am also the Director of Education here at Stage 32. It’s such a supportive and positive community with amazing resources for artists at every level. I look forward to hearing from you - tell me what you’re working on and what types of education that you’d like to see programmed here.Wishing everyone a happy IYW!!!

Congratulations on four seasons, Sam Sokolow!!! That's no small accomplishment! I'm working on a pitch deck job, pitching projects, and trying to figure out my next script (start a new idea or finish a script).

THE Sam Sokolow. Everyone viewing, take Sam up on his offer. He's leads the crew on all webinars, classes and labs on this platform. If you'd like to see Stage 32 program something regarding your chosen craft or education regarding how to navigate the business (financing, distribution, self tape auditions, how to land a rep, and so on), shout it out!

Hi Sam! What genre are your limited series and the 2 feature films?
I have entered my script "Surviving" into the High Concept Horror OWA. I am also currently working on a short film to enter the short film contest.

I am so excited to be part of this amazing community of creatives. As far as education, Stage 32 is where it is! I have no complaints about webcasts, webinars, lounges, or our fabulous thought leaders.
But... since you asked and RB told us to "shout it out!" :) I would love a mini class in the Writers' Room that covers any creative subject with an assignment attached. Something fun and simple, nothing complex, to be turned back in with feedback to grow on. I would volunteer my time and be happy to help. :)

I have a pilot that has played a few times on the Cowboy Channel. I would like to share it with you if you are interested.
