Hi Abdulhalim. 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

I mean, we scriptwriters are not beggars or parasites, I believe that I will show them projects that have many advantages in terms of commercial and artistic aspects, do we have to run after them?

Expand commentYou have to see things as relative. The reason most screenwriters face a brick wall is because they are approaching industry members who simply don't need what they have on offer (they have writers in their network and a backlog of material). They are aiming way too high. As a complete unknown, you have to start in the trenches. It's brutal, but that's the truth. Unless there's someone out there, vouching for you, someone who people respect the opinion of, you have to target industry members who'll value the fact some unknown writer is approaching them.

Expand commentThe big issue is that unproven screenwriters generally don't have a clue how films are made or make money. They just think their material is so brilliant it will rise to the top - especially with a budget of $300m.
It helps when you see a spec screenplay submission akin to a business plan proposition, which I write about here
For most industry members, it's a case of dealing with ol' faithful, the writer(s) they've work with for years, on projects they've been wanting to get the greenlight on for years, or reading everything that comes their way from an onslaught of writers who all think what they have is special.
Again, you have to aim low. It's a humbling experience to go through, but you have to aim low and appreciate the opportunities that are there.
