Hi everyone,
I’m Celeste, a television writer and format creator based in Italy.
My work explores contemporary culture and social dynamics, with a focus on reality, social-experiment, and hybrid storytelling formats.
I’m here to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from other creatives working across television, streaming, and digital platforms.
Nice to meet you all.

Hi Celeste! As a fellow writer, I’m always fascinated by how different cultures approach social dynamics in media. Your background in reality and social-experiment formats must give you a very unique lens for narrative work. Looking forward to seeing your contributions here!

Glad to have you here Celeste! One of my favorite shows from recent years is the Italian show Suburra - I loved the way they write complex family dynamics and class/politics of Italy. Have you ever seen the show? Might be good to inspire your writing!

Welcome, Celeste.
Contemporary culture and social dynamics are exactly the kind of narratives where visual atmosphere and location language become part of the storytelling itself.
Wishing you a great journey here on Stage 32.

Hi Celeste Rigo, welcome! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here at Stage 32. It’s great to meet you!
Your focus on reality, social-experiment, and hybrid formats that explore contemporary culture and social dynamics is especially exciting. That space is evolving so quickly right now, and voices that understand both storytelling and real-world behavior are incredibly valuable. You might enjoy jumping into conversations in the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing), where a lot of creators are talking about unscripted, hybrid formats, and development pathways. The Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) can also be a great place to exchange ideas around structure, format creation, and storytelling craft, even when working outside traditional scripted models.
If you’re interested in a more ongoing creative community, the Writers’ Room is worth exploring, and there’s currently a free month available if you’d like to check it out (https://www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip). It’s a supportive space to workshop ideas and connect with other writers and creators regularly.
And if you’re looking to make strategic connections or get help navigating opportunities that align with your goals, our Success Team is there to support you at (Success@Stage32.com).
I’d also love to invite you to our January 2026 Community Open House, a completely free event for new and current members. It’s a great way to learn how to navigate Stage 32 and start building meaningful connections across the community:

So glad you’re here, Celeste. Looking forward to seeing you around the lounges and hearing more about the formats you’re developing.
