As an emerging independent writer and screenwriter based in Cincinnati, Ohio, I bring a fresh perspective to high-stakes, emotionally driven storytelling. My growing portfolio spans intense horror and psychological thrillers, as well as contemporary romance, mafia dramas, billionaire romance, and serialized vertical short-form projects. Whether crafting dark, suspenseful tension or exploring complex emotional relationships, I specialize in stories driven by betrayal, secrets, and revenge. I am actively seeking professional opportunities in screenwriting and content development, and joined Stage 32 to learn, grow, and connect with industry peers and producers.

Welcome, and the range you're working in, from horror to romance to vertical short form, shows you're willing to explore different tones. What's the one project in your portfolio that you feel most strongly represents your voice?

Hi Samantha Rivera! Thank you so much for the warm welcome. If I had to pick the anchor project that best represents my creative voice right now, it would be my vertical drama series, My Ex's Hidden Brother. It is a high-stakes, emotionally charged contemporary romance packed with scandal, secret identity, and forbidden family tension.Writing for the short-form mobile layout has really sharpened my ability to deliver intense character betrayals and sharp, algorithmic cliffhangers every 60 seconds. I would love to share the series outline or sample episodes with you if you have any active mandates looking for this space!

Latrece Hill That's such a wide, dynamic range, horror and psychological thrillers. Vertical short-form is such an interesting space to be exploring too. What are you currently working on?

Hi Krenda Alice, thank you for reaching out!Right now, my portfolio balances two distinct formats. I have two completed full-length feature movie scripts focused on psychological thriller and horror themes. Alongside those, I am developing five micro-dramas specifically designed to push the boundaries of vertical short-form storytelling.Given your background in story editing and producing, I would love to connect and share more about these projects if you are open to it!

Hi everyone! I’m a beta reader who enjoys experiencing stories from a fresh reader’s perspective and sharing honest, constructive feedback. I’m also interested in working with scriptwriters, looking at things like story flow, characters, pacing, dialogue, and how the script comes across to an audience.
If you’re currently working on a script, I’d love to connect and hear what you’re creating. What kind of script are you working on right now?

Latrece Hill welcome to Stage 32, and thank you for jumping into Introduce Yourself Weekend!
My name is Ashley Smith, and I'm the Head of Community here.
Betrayal, secrets, and revenge is a strong engine to build around, and it's exactly why your range works. Horror, mafia drama, and billionaire romance all run on the same fuel. It's also the backbone of the vertical format, so it makes sense you're working there too.
I see Pat already pointed you toward our Success Team, so let me add a couple of things:
Be active in the Screenwriting (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) and Producing Lounges (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing). That's where the peers and producers you're looking for spend their time, and consistent presence is genuinely how those relationships form here.

Thank you, Ashley Renée Smith! I really appreciate the welcome and the guidance. I'm enjoying connecting with the Stage 32 community and learning more about how the industry approaches both traditional screenplays and the growing vertical drama format. I'll definitely become more active in the Screenwriting and Producing Lounges. I'm looking forward to continuing to develop my slate and connecting with producers and other creatives whose interests align with these projects.
