Ryan Mooney: Actor, comedian and musician in Los Angeles, California.

Hello there Stage 32ers, I've been contemplating something over the past few days or so, and I wanted to throw it out to the group, and see what you guys think about this. My theory is that, if you're putting up content online, be it sketches, short films, web series, etc., it doesn't matter where you are at, at least at first. You have to do the marketing things to get you noticed online, but you can be noticed from any location, be it Iowa or LA. Eventually you may have to move to one of the big cities, i.e. if you get an agent interested in you from your content, but getting noticed can happen from anywhere. I am looking at putting up online content while living in Ohio. I know that eventually I would have to go to NYC or LA, but hopefully I will be moving for a reason, such as having an agent notice my online stuff, or getting some sort of project as a result of my online content. What does everyone else think of this? Do you still think that, even if you're doing content online, you would still need to be in the NYC/LA market, or do you think that, as long as you have the resources, you can garner attention from anywhere, and only move if you have a reason to move (agent or project)?

Hello fellow Stage 32ers! I have recently moved out to LA, and am looking to get into the acting biz, focusing on comedic acting/character acting. I just finished taking Improv 201 at UCB. Looking forward to meeting people on here!

Hi Ryan. 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 400,000+ 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
