Introduce Yourself : Emerging High School Filmmaker by Curtis Dustin

Curtis Dustin

Emerging High School Filmmaker

Hey everyone, I’m Curtis Dustin. I’m 17, and I write, direct, act, and edit my own original films. I recently completed Unremarkable Heroes, which is now on its festival run, and I’m currently in post on my next project titled "The Final Enrollment". I make character driven stories that blend deep emotional drama with scary cinematic tension. Looking to connect, grow, and keep creating unforgettable work. Glad to be here!

Hey, Curtis Dustin. Welcome to the community. Here's a blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

I'm a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. Since you’re a minor, make sure your parents or guardians are aware of your account and have access to it. Also, be especially careful about privately connecting with anyone on the platform. If you or your parents/guardians ever have any questions or need support, feel free to reach out to me.

Congratulations on finishing Unremarkable Heroes and being in post on The Final Enrollment!

Welcome to the community, Curtis Dustin! I’m Ashley Smith, the Head of Community here at Stage 32, and I just want to say, it’s incredibly impressive to see the level of passion and drive you’re bringing to your craft at 17. Finishing one film and already deep into post on your next is no small feat, and it sounds like you have a strong voice and vision in the kinds of stories you’re drawn to.

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend joining the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) and the Post-Production Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/post_production). These are great spaces to connect with other creatives, ask questions, and share your work as you continue to grow.

Keep leaning into the process and putting yourself out there. We’re excited to support your journey!
