Started writing before COVID with a younger friend who had a degree in Film . It started out as something fun but I became fascinated by the process. We took screenwriting classes together at a local university. My writing partner left 2 years ago to live in Paris to pursue other interests.
I joined a writers group that meets once a week. I have written 2 pilots and working on a feature. My work now is so different than when I was collaborating. I think I am finding my own voice.

I have written comedy and drama. I'm not sure I have a favorite. I have only written 2 pilots ( one was a comedy). Currently working on a mystery, crime feature drawing on my background in forensic pathology

I love watching Mystery Crime movies, Deborah Rosenfeld! I have trouble writing Crime scripts sometimes. A background in forensic pathology must be really helpful.
You could post your scripts 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 scripts on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Hi Deborah Rosenfeld - welcome to Stage32! and congrats on completing your 2 pilots. So wonderful to hear you've 'fallen' for the process - I wonder if your background in forensics primed you for this kind of a story/character development journey :)
What's the plan with your pilots? have you put together pitch material for them yet?

Yes it has. Since I am writing on my own , I am drawing on my past lives for interesting stories and characters .

Deborah Rosenfeld, welcome to the wonderful world of Stage 32 where the coffee is not bad and the donuts are usually fresh. I am an American who got permanently lost in Europe. I would enjoy hearing about your writing. Best wishes from Germany.

Hi Deborah Rosenfeld, welcome to Stage 32! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here, and I love hearing how your journey evolved from a fun collaboration into a true creative passion. It’s so inspiring that you kept going after your writing partner moved and have since found your own voice.
I’d recommend joining the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) to regularly share your experiences and connect with other writers who are also refining their voices and projects. I also see that you’re a Writer’s Room member and the weekly events, as well as the Writer’s Room Lounge, are great ways to continue learning and growing. It’s a space where the more involved you get, the more you progress and build a strong support system to help along your journey.
It sounds like you’ve built a strong foundation already, and I can’t wait to see what stories come next for you!
