New here, screenwriter building out a slate

Hey everyone, first time posting here.

I’m a screenwriter currently building out a small slate, mostly in the psychological thriller and grounded drama space.

Just came off a recent draft of a contained thriller called Pareidolia. An earlier version pulled a 7 on The Black List, and I’ve since gone through a full structural and dialogue pass to push it further.

Also working on a couple other scripts alongside it, including a character-driven drama and a western set during the Gold Rush.

Still new to Stage 32 but looking forward to connecting with other writers and industry folks who are actively building and refining their work.

What’s everyone here working on right now?

Minh Nguyen
