Hey everyone!
I’m new to the platform!
I’m a Scottish screenwriter based in London. I’ve written six scripts, all of which are winning/placing in major competitions.
My preference is for work which doesn’t coddle the viewer and takes a look a difficult themes. That said, I also enjoy finding the humour in this intensity. My major inspirations are shows like The Sopranos and BoJack Horseman, and movies like Magnolia and Syriana.
Where I’m at currently; I’m trying to figure out what can take me from festival winner to the next level.
Looking forward to connecting!

Hi Gordon Carrick, welcome to Stage 32! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here on the platform. It’s great to meet you, and congratulations on having multiple scripts place and win in competitions, that’s a strong position to be in!
As you’re looking to make that jump from festival success to the next level, I’d encourage you to become a regular contributor in the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) and the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing). Consistent participation, sharing your perspective, asking questions, and engaging with others, is one of the most effective ways to build relationships that lead to real opportunities.

Hey Gordon Carrick - congrats on your work. That's a robust portfolio that will take you far. We're so glad you're with us. Welcome to Stage 32!
Six scripts with major competition placements is seriously impressive, and I love that blend of difficult themes with humor. The Sopranos and BoJack Horseman are such rich inspiration for exactly that balance. Since you're looking to take things to the next level, I'd definitely recommend checking out the Writers' Room — there's a free month available right now, and it's a great space to connect with other writers. Also, don't miss the free Community Open House this Wednesday (last one until summer!), which is a fantastic way to meet fellow creatives.
If you ever need any guidance, you can always reach out to Edu@Stage32.com or Success@Stage32.com. Glad you're here, and looking forward to seeing where your work goes next!
Good too connect! The jump from festival winner to the next level is exactly what the Stage 32 Writers' Room is for :) Our Open Writing Assignments put your scripts directly in front of executives with active mandates — no gatekeepers, no cold queries. Writers' Room members get exclusive access and your first month is on us: www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip
And this Tuesday March 24th we have an exclusive Writers' Room Q&A with Jacob Tierney, creator and showrunner of HBO Max's HEATED RIVALRY — all about navigating that exact next step. Would love to see you there. Welcome to the community!
