Theatre is my first language—the stage my stomping ground. I'm a director, actor, and playwright who’s spent years breathing life into characters under warm lights and velvet curtains. From heartfelt monologues to madcap farces, I love building bold stories that surprise, move, and connect us.
But lately… the camera’s been calling.
I’ve started dipping a toe (okay, maybe a whole foot) into the world of film—curious about how the stories I love on stage might transform through a lens. I’m here to explore, experiment, and collaborate.
I’m especially eager to meet other creatives—filmmakers, writers, weird idea people, brilliant oddballs—who want to talk shop, swap dreams, and turn “wouldn’t it be cool if…” into “hey, we made this.”
Let’s make something unforgettable together.

I'd recommend spending some time in the Acting lounge (top menu bar "Lounge" then click "Acting") and connect with your fellow actors to help find like minded actors to talk through your experience navigating from theater to film: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting

Hey everyone!
Thanks so much for the warm welcomes and awesome resources — really appreciate it. I’m loving hearing from fellow theater vets like Sebastian and Julia who’ve made the jump to film. The adjustment definitely feels like learning a new language with familiar roots.
I’m diving into the filmmaking lounges and excited to swap stories, tips, and maybe even collaborate on some wild projects. If you’re someone who loves bold storytelling and weird ideas, let’s chat! What’s the biggest surprise you faced transitioning from stage to camera?
Looking forward to making magic happen with all you brilliant oddballs!

Expand commentHi , I love the way you worded all of this in first language is near. My first language is music. My second language is writing and I am learning how to write for the screen, which is so exciting with all the ideas to come to me. I put it off for enough years time to finish and start and finish the project. I love songwriting and writing.
