I'm a longtime member and a huge fan. I post nearly all of my scripts on Stage 32. I welcome feedback on loglines, synopses, and scripts, because I always have more to learn. Thank you all for your support since 2016! Cheers, Tom
I finished my first script for 2026 yesterday. My goal is to write several budget-conscious, compelling scripts that can be filmed almost anywhere for global markets. I remain optimistic and tireless. And good luck to you!
Welcome back, Tom Stohlgren, and thank you for your years of contributions! That's an amazing mindset being a longtime member who still actively seeks to learn and share is exactly what makes this community so valuable. Are you working on anything at the moment?
Congratulations, Tom Stohlgren! That's a great goal! I'm rooting for you! I want to do that with some of my feature scripts. Are there any genres you haven't written that you want to write.
Maurice Vaughan -- I've stayed away from action movies that rely on violence as a means to settle differences-- So, Marvel, superhero, and most "war" movies are out for me. I like movies where brains beat brawn (Home Alone), and where critical thinking beats unfounded beliefs (Inherit the Wind). I like social justice films (Selma, Just Mercy, Erin Brockovich). And I love a good murder mystery -- We watched all of "Seven Dials" last night -- 5 stars!
You're welcome, Tom Stohlgren. What about an Action movie that doesn't rely on violence as a means to settle differences? That could even be the theme.
Maurice Vaughan The more I think about it, I like exploration films, archaeology, nature, and science films. I'm not into long chase scenes or action that distracts from the storyline. I think that action films that don't rely on weapons and violence are in the minority. A little violence is okay (older James Bond) -- and I really dislike slasher films (especially with female victims) or sexploitation films -- so my list goes on. But I can be surprised by almost any genre if it's a smart film with a social conscience.
