New storyteller here – excited to connect

Hello everyone,

I’m a storyteller and screenwriter developing an original animated fantasy concept for all ages. 

I’m new here and excited to connect, learn, and grow within the Stage 32 community.

Great quote on your profile picture! I suggest using a photo of yourself as your profile picture though. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture." You could put that quote in your profile bio.

Hello Farah, nice to meet you and welcome to the community.

Charmane Wedderburn

Welcome, Farah — animated fantasy for all ages is a beautiful space to be working in. Wishing you a rewarding journey here and looking forward to seeing what you create

Farah Atiya

Thank you so much Michael, Oleg, Maurice, Elle, Meriem, and Charmane for the warm welcome!

My project is an anime-inspired animated fantasy about a young doctor living in a town overwhelmed by comparison and stagnation. Through a quiet journey guided by an elderly sheikh, his granddaughter, and a mysterious old watch in a secluded forest house, the story explores fulfillment, patience, and finding meaning in small, intentional steps.

It’s a story about enjoying the journey rather than rushing the destination, blending emotional depth with adventure, and aimed at a wide, all-ages audience. I’m excited to keep developing it and to connect with you all here on Stage 32. Thank you again for the kindness and encouragement!

Meriem Bouziani
