Hi Everyone --
I'm a writer who pens nerve-shredding thrillers and deeply human dramedies about underdogs and outcasts who win.
Thrilled to be here at Stage 32 to continue building community. I'm also looking for a seasoned, indie filmmaking mentor and executive producers who also love the kinds of stories I do to help bring them to audiences.
Look forward to meeting you, working together and helping tell amazing stories!
Cheers,
Rob

Hi, R.B. Ripley. Nerve-shredding thrillers. I like that! Have you been to a Stage 32 in-person Meetup?

Hi R.B. Ripley, happy Introduce Yourself Weekend and welcome. I’m Ashley Renee Smith, Head of Community here at Stage 32.
I love how clearly you defined your storytelling lane, nerve-shredding thrillers paired with deeply human dramedies about underdogs and outcasts who win is a powerful combination. That focus on tension and heart is exactly what resonates with both audiences and collaborators, and it’s great to hear you’re here with a community-building mindset.
You’ll likely find some great conversations and connections in the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) and the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing), especially since you’re looking to connect with executive producers who love indie, character-driven storytelling. The Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) can also be a strong place to meet indie filmmakers who are actively developing and packaging projects.
Since you’re seeking mentors and executive producers, I’d also encourage you to connect with our Success Team at (Success@Stage32.com). They can help point you toward curated resources and the right professionals based on your specific projects and ambitions.
I’d love to invite you to join our upcoming November Community Open House webcast, a completely free event designed to help you build connections and navigate Stage 32 like a pro:

Really glad you’re here, Rob. Looking forward to seeing you around the lounges and watching these stories make their way to audiences.
