Manley Irish: Screenwriter in Sanford, Maine.

Great article Brandi! My account has been rotting for a while now. Time to start making new friends. Thanks, you're an inspiration.

Hi, Everyone! I've been doing 32 for a long time and loving every minute of it. If anyone needs proof of the power of connections, I've got a truckload. I'm a writer, producer, and story consultant. EVERYTHING starts with a good story, and I'd love to know yours and add to my Rolodex. I'm open to all, but particularly interested in finding a solid roster of folks that make magic behind the scenes (post, vfx, casting, line producers and crew). April is the month when a door always closes and opens to a new season. Come on in!

Hey everyone! I run a tiny production company 100cubes.com (sorry for russian language website) and specialise in small-to-medium budget productions. I myself am mostly experienced in cinematography and colour grading, with past experience in VFX. We've managed to get into few nice film festivals with our short films, and are currently developing a feature film project. Showreel: http://vimeo.com/84288418 My focus is on constant development, so I'm always looking forward to participating in international projects, especially in countries that are more developed in filmmaking, which is at least 2/3 of the rest of the world :) Glad to be in this great community!

Thanks Alejandra for connecting. Lots of info on here. Take it all in and let it lead you to success.

Thanks for the invite.

When my amazing screenwriting coach/teacher told the class to check out Stage 32, I knew I had to take it seriously. I don't like to submit my screenplays around until they have gotten a bit of notice. This one just (4 days ago or so) was named an Official Selection of the Beverly Hills Film Festival but I was still nervous about it after getting turned down on my first 3 written pitches through Stage 32. An author friend suggested a small (but important) tweak to my pitch, which I did and submitted again yesterday. Today I have a screenplay request from a company doing a new movie with Robert De Niro! Thank You Stage 32!

Hey Manley!! thanks for the connection!

Hey y'all! I've been here now going on my 2nd week. So far so good! I'm meeting lots of talented people. One question though..... What is this Karma thing and how do you raise it up? What's the purpose of it? Thanks :)

Hi! My name is JD. I just joined a few days ago. I have a feature-length screenplay I wrote for my Master's degree last year, but I don't know much about the industry of shopping it around. I'm looking forward to using Stage 32 to connect with others and to hopefully launch a career in screenwriting. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the Greater Philadelphia Area for the foreseeable future. I hope to learn much from everybody on Stage 32 so that I can pay it forward, someday. If anybody wants to reach out, I'll be here. The more, the merrier.

Hello everyone. I'm Manley Irish from Sanford, Maine. I've been screenwriting for 15 years but never knew how to make connections in the industry. I've always avoided networking afraid of losing my material to someone without integrity. I entered my screenplay in a screenwriting contest only to see scenes in major pictures within a couple years later that looked extremely close, if not spot on, to what I have written. Could be just coincidence but it scared me to the point of staying away from others in the business for years. Now with more confidence and knowledge, I'm reentering the world of marketing my talent in hopes of selling my script and possibly being a help to others like me.

When writing a story or a screenplay (teleplay) do you ever visualize certain actors for certain roles? And if you do; have you ever made those preferences known if the product was sold?

Just signed up to Stage 32. This looks like a great tool to connect and network with entertainment industry professional's. Please take a look at my profile and add me. look forward to meeting everyone.

I would love it if anybody could spare a few minutes to check out my latest first act script. Thanks :) https://www.stage32.com/profile/372174/Screenplay/The-Inset-Course-Act-one Logline: Upon escaping from a psychiatric ward, a former spy attempts to uncover the reason why his mentor was murdered and the truth behind the Inset course as he is persued by the agents tasked to bring him down.
