Introduce Yourself : Happy to be here. by Fredrick Chilufya

Happy to be here.

Hey Stage 32 family

My name is Fredrick (Freddie), a screenwriter passionate about high-concept stories driven by character, tension, and hard choices. I’m drawn to narratives where loyalty is tested, power shifts hands, and there’s truly only one way out.

I write across crime, thriller, and elevated genre storytelling, with a strong focus on moral dilemmas, betrayal, and the psychology of survival. I’m currently building a body of work aimed at producers and collaborators who love bold ideas with emotional weight.

Here are two scripts I’ve shared on my profile:

ONE WAY OUT

After a perfectly executed heist, the one man trusted to disappear with the money is deliberately abandoned—forcing him to fight both the law and his own crew as he realizes the setup was never an accident.

KINGS AND KINGDOMS

Two identical kingdoms wage an endless war, unaware they are pawns in a larger game—until the truth behind the conflict threatens to collapse both crowns.

I’m here to connect, learn, and collaborate with fellow writers, producers, and creatives who believe great stories start with strong ideas and sharper execution. Always open to feedback, conversations, and opportunities to grow.

Looking forward to connecting with you all.

Hi Freddie! Welcome to Stage 32, and it’s great to have you here. Your passion for high-concept storytelling really comes through, especially your focus on character, tension, and moral dilemmas. Both One Way Out and Kings and Kingdoms sound compelling and layered, with strong stakes and bold concepts.

Thank you so much James.

Hey, Fredrick Chilufya. Happy Holidays! Welcome to the community.

Fredrick Chilufya

Happy Holidays...and thank you so much.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Fredrick Chilufya. Both of your scripts sound interesting! Do the two kingdoms look and act alike?

Fredrick Chilufya

@Maurice Vaughan thank you for taking time to check out my work.

So the two Kingdoms mirror each other in other structures. Like the way their castles are positioned. In terms of acting, they were once one people before they separated but for now they just differ in their desire. The white are more noble in their actions but the black are some what vile.

Fredrick Chilufya Welcome to the community!!!! It's amazing to see the work, your scripts, and wishing you success and growth in 2026 : )

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Fredrick Chilufya. That's really unique! I can't wait to watch KINGS AND KINGDOMS and ONE WAY OUT! How's the pitching going?

Fredrick Chilufya

@Maurice Vaughan thank you so much, you will definitely watch KINGS AND KINGDOMS and ONE WAY OUT soon enough. I haven't yet pitched the scripts. Am still looking for money to have a pitch session.

Fredrick Chilufya

@Juliana Philippi thank you so much for the kind words.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Fredrick Chilufya. The Pitch Sessions helped me get better at writing pitches. The main purpose of the Pitch Sessions is to get feedback to improve your pitch, but sometimes the executives, managers, etc. will request scripts, sign writers, etc. (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).

And I've gotten opportunities to pitch my projects by networking on Stage 32.

Fredrick Chilufya

@ Maurice Vaughan thank you again. Am new to this. So what do u advise I do.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Fredrick Chilufya. My biggest tip is network on Stage 32, on other platforms, and in person. It could lead to you connecting with producers, script requests, meeting requests, etc. Here's some blogs on networking: www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41

Fredrick Chilufya

Maurice Vaughan thanks for that tip. I will put it to practice.
