Hi, my name is Lauran Childs of Cat Lady Productions. I've written a few movies and am currently creating an AI proof of concept video for my film 'About Miami...'.
I was on this site from early in it's beginnings but due to a lost phone I lost contact with a lot of people, including cast and crew. I hope to reconnect with old friends and make great new ones to make wonderful movies with.

Here is an image from 'About Miami' although the images are usually brighter. Having a hard time finding one of those.

Lauran Childs, welcome back to Stage 32! My name is Ashley Smith, and I’m the Head of Community here at Stage 32. So happy to see you back in the mix, and I’m sorry about the disruption with your lost phone that pulled you away from so many of your Stage 32 connections! That’s such a frustrating way to lose touch with cast, crew, and creative collaborators, and I completely understand why reconnecting is a priority for you now.
Since so much has evolved on the platform since your early days here, let me share a few resources that will genuinely serve you as you get reoriented:
- Be active in the Filmmaking and Producing Lounges too! In addition to the Screenwriting Lounge our team already mentioned, these two Lounges are so important for you right now, especially as you reconnect with the community and look to build new cast and crew relationships. Consistent engagement over time is one of the most powerful ways to rebuild the network you lost, and there’s a wonderful group of members ready to welcome you back. You can find our Lounges here: https://www.stage32.com/lounge
- Reach out to our Success Team at Success@Stage32.com to tell them about Cat Lady Productions, ABOUT MIAMI, and your goals. Given the specific position you’re in (returning member, active proof-of-concept development, working production company), Success can help you strategize your reconnection and connect you with Stage 32 Executives whose expertise aligns with your work.
- Register for our next FREE Community Open House on Wednesday, September 23rd at 12pm PT. It’s a wonderful way to get a full refresh on everything Stage 32 has to offer as you re-engage with the platform, plus direct access to me and our team to ask any questions about how to make the most of your experience here. Given how much has evolved since your early days on the platform, this is a genuinely helpful event for getting oriented quickly. Even if you can’t attend live, registering guarantees you the full recording: https://www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32s-september-2026-comm...
Welcome back, Lauran! Rooting for ABOUT MIAMI and everything you’re building at Cat Lady Productions next.
