I'm Geoff! Dir of Dev at Stage 32. Here to help!

Hey everyone,

I'm Geoffroy Faugérolas (Geoff), Director of Development Services here at Stage 32.

I've spent over a decade working in development at companies like Coverfly, Imagine Entertainment, ICM Partners, and Paramount, and now I get to do what I love most: connecting writers, filmmakers, and creatives with the industry professionals who can actually move their careers forward.

My role is to make sure you have access to the best opportunities, whether that's through our Open Writing Assignments, executive pitch sessions, contests, or the Writers' Room. I work directly with managers, agents, producers, and executives to curate opportunities that lead to real results: paid assignments, representation deals, option agreements, and production opportunities.

Recent wins we're celebrating: Just in the past few weeks, we've had four Writers' Room members land success through our Open Writing Assignments: one writer was hired to develop a book adaptation, another signed a shopping agreement, and two more secured paid writing contracts. We also just announced major partnerships with DramaBox (featured in The Hollywood Reporter), Color Farm Media, Mammoth Pictures, and Zero Gravity Management. This year alone, over 85 writers in our community have signed with representation, optioned scripts, been hired for assignments, or landed development deals...and we're just getting started with 2026.

I'm here to help however I can. If you have questions about navigating the industry, finding the right opportunities, or making the most of Stage 32, feel free to reach out at success@stage32.com or DM me.

Looking forward to connecting with you all in the lounges!

Best,

Geoff

Hey, Geoffroy Faugerolas. Thanks for everything you do for the community! Congratulations on your wins and congratulations to everyone who had a win this year! Hope you all have a lot more this month and next year! And my first rejection letter was from Paramount. Postal mail. I sent a cold query letter. I thought it was the right way at the time.

Michael Thorn

Geoff, you're one of the primary reasons I'm finding Stage32 so informative. Your calm, knowledgable contributions on the webinars and the feedback you give to those pitching ideas are really first-rate. It's also clear from what RB has said about you that you have been bringing a wide range of industry execs on board as a result of your previous contacts. In short, may you long be a part of the site, in 2026 and beyond. Seasons greetings from the UK.

Ashley Renée Smith

Geoffroy Faugerolas, it’s honestly such a joy getting to work alongside you. You bring so much clarity, intention, and genuine care to Stage 32, and it really shows in the wins our members are having.

I love how transparent you are about what actually moves the needle for creatives, and how invested you are in helping writers and filmmakers navigate the industry in a way that’s both realistic and empowering. The recent successes you shared are a testament to the work you do every single day behind the scenes.

So grateful you’re part of this team and this community. Anyone reading this, you’re in very good hands with Geoff.

Hello Geoffroy Faugerolas

Nice to meet you. Thank you very much for your passion in helping creatives realize their dreams and find the best opportunities. I’m so happy for everyone who made it in 2025, and I wish all the best to the rest of us in 2026.

Amanda Toney

Hi Geoff! What types of movies or TV shows are inspiring you lately?

Steve Dini

Ready for some shameless self-promotion? In 2025, I optioned two scripts (That makes 6 total) and acted in 3 films with another script I co-wrote optioned and produced with a theatrical run and now streaming on Amazon Prime. Note: I am 79 years old, so I write this as an encouragement that it CAN happen at ANY age., so keep writing! All the best in 2026...

Maurice Vaughan

That's incredible, Steve Dini! Congratulations! You're right. It can happen at any age. Hope you have more success in 2026!

What are you most excited about for 2026 for development services?

Sydney S

Thank you for all you do for Stage 32!

Michael Thorn

Steve Dini I'll take that encouragement to heart - thanks, and hope you have the same success in 2026, into your 80s and beyond!

Sebastian Tudores

Geoffroy Faugerolas thank you for all the work you do in creating so much value for all of us - wishing you and amazing 2026! cheers

Elle Bolan

Hi Geoffroy! I'm so stoked to see all the the things y'all have lined up for us in 2026! Thank you for all you do for Stage 32! You're appreciated! Have a wonderful holiday!

Richard "RB" Botto

"Your calm, knowledgable contributions on the webinars" - I appreciate you pointing this out, Michael Thorn. This is Geoff's superpower. Not only is he completely plugged in, but the way he shares that knowledge with the community with clarity, actionable information and positivity is something everyone here should be embracing. If you're not reading his weekly newsletter, you're simply doing yourself a disservice. And, I might add, giving away a competitive advantage to those who do.

Thanks, Geoffroy Faugerolas for being a part of investing in helping creatives move forward in their careers. Appreciate the work you’re doing at Stage 32, and your previous work at Coverfly, which helped me get started in screenwriting!

Cyrus Sales

Hey Geoffroy Faugerolas, great to meet you again! We’ve connected in the past, but I wanted to stop by here and reconnect. Love seeing the transparency around how Stage 32 is actually creating real outcomes for writers and filmmakers—those recent wins and partnerships are impressive. Thanks for being so accessible and for doing the work of connecting creatives with real opportunities. Looking forward to crossing paths in the lounges.

Kirsty Louise Joyce

Hi Geoffroy Faugerolas, nice to meet you on here! I have just finished watching the on demand 'State of the Industry 2026' webcast you delivered with RB. It was a great session, so thank you! After a break away from Stage 32 and writing, I have been easing myself back into the sessions, so this was a great webcast for me to watch.

Leonardo Ramirez

Geoffroy Faugerolas - could not thank you enough for the incredible job that you do Geoff. You've already been an amazing guide and encourager. Thanks for you do!

Geoffroy Faugerolas Alo Geoff, it's so wonderful to be a part of this platform, of this community, and to continue my own career growth, success and momentum forward thanks to the executives, producers and agents who are interested in my work. Thank you for this space, and all the posts, information, and inspiration you give to us all! Currently in the middle of my reverse rom-com, cracking myself up as I write it, and already booking out dates for projects and development in January! Happy Holidays to you and yours, and a wonderful, prosperous and magical 2026.
