It’s suicide prevention month. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for teens in the US. Queer teens are 4x more likely to attempt it than their peers. Can a film save a queer teen’s life? Yes, it can. Read “Becoming Ben” and you’ll know why.

Hi, David Goldstein. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know I moved your post from the Introduce Yourself Lounge to the Your Stage Lounge. You can promote your script and talk about suicide prevention (which is extremely important!) in your introduction post, but you need to introduce/reintroduce yourself to the community. You could check out other posts in the Introduce Yourself Lounge to get ideas for your introduction post. Let me know if you have any questions.
Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world. Producers, executives, directors, writers, actors, and more. www.stage32.com/blog/the-importance-of-community-and-collaboration-in-th...
Stage 32’s Community Open House will also help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-s-august-community-open-house). The recording is free to watch.
I suggest adding a profile picture of yourself. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you. You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture."
You could post your script on your profile. Producers search profiles for projects. That and networking are how I sold four short scripts to a producer. 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 script on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)
