—I'm Lawrence Hodge.
I'm a storyteller before anything else. I’ve been writing for decades—screenplays, novels, poems, and all the raw, layered ideas that live between genres. Now I’m finally bringing them to life.
I’ve got several pitch-ready projects and original material looking for the right producers, animators, and creative collaborators to help shape them into something bold and unforgettable.
My work spans: LGBTQ-centered narratives
Southern Gothic ghost stories
Psychological thrillers
Historical doomed love
Monster Horror
Stylized animation with franchise potential
Hit me up if you are interested :)

Hey, Lawrence Hodge. Hope you're doing great! Welcome to the Stage 32 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-...
You could also post your projects on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your projects on your profile this way (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”): www.stage32.com/loglines

You're welcome, Lawrence Hodge. Here are some other ways to get your projects in front of industry professionals:
You could pitch to executives, managers, etc. through Stage 32's Pitch Sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions). The Pitch Sessions are mainly to get feedback on pitches, but members have gotten managers, signed shopping agreements, etc. through the sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).
You could enter a Stage 32 contest (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/contests). If you win a contest or place as a Finalist, Stage 32 will send your work to agents and literary managers who are seeking new talent as well as other industry pros. If you don't see contests that fit your projects, keep an eye on the Contest Page. Stage 32 will be adding more contests.
You could search for producers, managers, etc. with IMDbPro (https://pro.imdb.com/signup/index.html).
And you could search the Job Board for members who are looking for collaborators (www.stage32.com/find-jobs). The Job Board gets updated regularly.

Hi Lawrence Hodge! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here at Stage 32. Welcome! It’s fantastic to have you here with us! Your range of work sounds so rich and dynamic, and I love that you’re already thinking about building the right creative team around your projects.
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend getting active in the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) and the Animation Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/animation) — there are so many talented creatives there who would love to connect with you.
You can also reach out to our Success Team at Success@Stage32.com. They can help guide you toward resources, collaborators, and even pitching opportunities that fit your goals.
Really excited to see how your bold stories take shape here!

Hi Ashley,
Thank you so much for the warm welcome — I really appreciate it! I’m excited to be here and already feeling the creative energy flowing.
I’ll definitely dive into the Screenwriting and Animation Lounges — my current projects are at the stage where finding the right partners and collaborators is key. I’ll also reach out to the Success Team to learn more about pitching opportunities and next steps.
I’m looking forward to connecting with the Stage 32 community and building something bold together. Thanks again for the encouragement!
Best,
Lawrence Armando Hodge
