Umeneg Orien: Screenwriter and musician in Douala, Cameroon.

Hi, my name is Brooke and I act. I started taking acting more seriously by signing up for acting classes in my early 20's after college. One of those classes had a short film showcase that I knew I had to enter. Hence my short film, He Said What Now? was born. I starred in it, wrote it, casted, produced and co-directed with my sister. I co-wrote one of the songs (That Guy) for the film as well. I kept taking classes and found myself lucky to be casted as an extra in a few projects as well as be casted in a few sketch comedy shows. That is what inspired me to co-found my sketch comedy group, The Salty Nuts. As a group we have been lucky to perform all over New York, even outside of the state in IO fest, North Carolina and Cincinnati with hopes of that list growing. Currently I have a sketch that I wrote that I would love to turn into a short film. I'm hoping to find someone to collaborate with to help me make that vision a reality. I have hopes for the future to do more film/tv work. Comedy seems to be niche as well as writing about my unlucky dating life. If you've read this far, thank you! Hopefully one day we can get a chance to work on a project together. Thank you!

Hi Umeneg. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
