Introduce Yourself : Into comedy? Get to know me! by Vincent J Paterno

Into comedy? Get to know me!

I write comedy features (mostly rom-coms) and yes, I am indeed seeking potential writing collaborators. But I also want to meet actors, directors, producers, cinematographers - heck, anyone who enjoys making audiences laugh. (You're my kind of people.) It would help if you have a fondness for film history, too; for more than 13 1/2 years, I ran the classic Hollywood site "Carole & Co.", named for screwball legend Carole Lombard, my favorite Golden Age actress. I'm currently creating my latest project, the time-travel comedy script "Screen Time," which can best be described as "Back to the Future" meets "Singin' in the Rain." I'd enjoy having you in my network!

Brenda Lau

I love rom-coms! Nice to meet you.

Amanda Toney

Carole Lombard is great! I'm sure she influences your writing, right?

Vincent J Paterno

Yes, she does, along with her ex William Powell (my favorite Golden Age actor), Myrna Loy, Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and so on. Fave writers include Robert Riskin, Norman Krasna and Billy Wilder, while Ernst Lubitsch tops my list of directors.

P.S. I'm happy to note Carole is returning to TCM's Summer Under the Stars for the first time since 2014! Her day is Friday, Aug. 18, the day before my birthday (when the great Fred Astaire gets the honor).

Hey, Vincent J Paterno. Have you checked the Browse Members Section for writing collaborators (www.stage32.com/people?name=&location=&roles=Screenwriter)?

I love the photo you shared, so cool!

Michael Alan Elliott

Someone once asked me if I could be anyone else, who would that be? My immediate answer was...and still is....Cary Grant. In college I developed a crush on Myna Loy watching her as Nora Charles in "The Thin Man", all 5 versions.

Hey Vincent! Love that you write rom coms. We love had an uptick of producer wanting to read rom cons lately. Sara Elizabeth Timmins comes to mind immediately as someone for you to connect with. Write is at success@stage32.com for more info! Would love to hear more about your goals too!

Brianna Grant

I’m also writing feature length rom cons Vincent! Would love to connect.
