Introduce Yourself : Contact with a filmmaker or producer by Chase Rister

Hi, Chase Rister. Welcome to the community. Stage 32 is having a free Community Open House on June 25th. Your parents or guardians can sign up for you here (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-s-june-community-open-house-...). It'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world.

In the meantime, here's a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and make connections: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

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.

Hey everyone, just wanted to add a bit more detail about my idea. I'm looking to create a movie based on Battle Dragons by Alex London—a fantasy story about dragons and epic battles. I’m 12 years old, and I’m really passionate about bringing this to life. I don’t have much of a budget, but I’m hoping to find a filmmaker or producer who can help me figure out the next steps. Any advice or interest would be amazing!

The Open House and blog will help you meet filmmakers and producers, Chase Rister. I suggest coming up with your own story instead of basing it on Battle Dragons. You won't be able to pitch your idea since it's based on Alex's work.

Chase Rister hi Chase, it’s great to see you here at Stage 32. I echo Maurice’s advice, about parental guidance. Make sure they know you are on here and who you are connecting with.

The Open House is free, Chase Rister. It's a webinar. If you can't make it to the Open House live, your parents or guardians can still sign up because it’ll be available to watch on demand.

Hi Chase! That’s an amazing dream, and it’s awesome that you’re starting so young—many great actors began just like you! Keep learning, practicing, and putting yourself out there. Stay passionate and curious, and the right opportunities will come your way. You've got this!
