Tim Leach: In New York City, New York.

Hey Tim! You are a hard guy to find, but leave it to me to connect with you out of the blue. Even after 20+ years! I am actually trying to get in touch with you for professional reasons -- as well as just catching up. Would love to hear from you.

Hey Tim, we recently added the ability for users to subscribe to Lounge topics. To get you started, we've automatically subscribed you to the production topic. You can see the latest posts in your subscribed topics by clicking the My Lounge subscriptions tab on your wall. You can easily add and update Lounge subscriptions by clicking Manage my subscriptions from the same page. Enjoy!

Hey Tim, I'm excited to announce our new Stage 32 Lounge, a major upgrade to the previous Discussions area. Here are some of the highlights:

• Subscriptions - Subscribe to your favorite topics and stay up to date on the subjects that matter to you most.
• My Discussions - Never lose track of discussions you created or commented on.
• Better topics - We've completely reorganized the discussion topics to make it much easier to browse and post discussions.

Hey Tim, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Hey Tomas, We're very proud to bring to the Stage 32 community an exciting and exclusive event: Rex Pickett - My Life on Spec: The Writing of Sideways. This 6 part series explores the twisted, obstacle filled path Rex travelled while nurturing Sideways from conception to screen. Rex's tale is alternately inspiring and heartbreaking, filled with the highs and lows, the self-doubt, and the paralysis associated with surrendering control of your talent, which should be relatable to any artist. We thank Rex for this exclusive series! It's a gift to the entire Stage 32 community. The intro to the series is live right now. Check it out here. PS - Stage 32 bloggers may link to our blog if they wish to share the series with their readers. Thanks!

Hi Tim. I'm RB, co-founder and CEO of Stage 32. I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work and attracting attention to their projects. That's why we created Stage 32. Our members run the gamut from film students to award winners. The community is now 50,000+ members strong spanning 175+ countries. 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 help us spread the word through other social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. We also ask that you help strengthen the community by inviting at least 5 fellow creatives. Check out Invite friends to Stage 32 on the upper right side of your profile. Thanks for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. PS - Be sure to check us out on Facebook and follow us on Twitter at @Stage32online.

Hey Tim, I'm the lead developer at Stage32.com. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback about the site. We'd love to hear your comments!
