Janet Stilson: Producer and screenwriter in New York City, New York.

My short film, THE BEAUTY OF DISASTER, will have two screenings in two weeks! It is playing at the TLC Chinese Theater in Los Angeles as part of the HollyShorts monthly series on Sept. 29th. And it's is playing at the Anthology Film Archives in New York on Sept. 27th as part of the NY Women in Film & Television monthly series. Please come out for the fun!

In the last few weeks, my script JAGUAR TRAIL has become a quarter finalist in three competitions: Scriptapalooza, Page International and Screen Craft's sci-fi contest.

So appreciated your podcast, Joey. I feel like I can "bite the bullet" and pitch now!

Hey There, I'm a hired gun writer who also has some personal passion film projects in the works. One of them is a sci-fi tale of suspense (I agree, sci fi rules). Last year it won a slot in the inaugural Writers Lab for Women, funded by Meryl Streep. I penned and produced a short version of a feature that's a dark-edged romantic comedy, which is screening at the Pasadena Intl. Film Festival on March 6th. So if any of you L.A. folks are around the festival, I do hope you'll drop by and say hi. The short is called THE BEAUTY OF DISASTER (as is the feature).

Hi Janet, good to be connected with you!

I recently joined Stage 32. I'm primarily a script writer although am learning to produce my own work. I received word this week that my screenplay JAGUAR TRAIL made it to the second round of judging for the Sundance Writers Lab. That followed the news two weeks ago that the same script was chosen for the Meryl Streep funded Writers Lab, organized by the WGA, NY Women in Film & TV and the collective Iris. I don't expect lightening to strike twice, but it sure does make me feel great. This past spring I completed a short called THE BEAUTY OF DISASTER, and I'm applying to festivals. It's a calling card for a full length feature of the same name. It's a dark edged comedy. Wishing you all a great weekend.

Hi I'm Conrad a film maker from Emmitsburg, MD. I'm currently working on a project called "Thirsty Land" It's the story about the drought in the American West, the impact on agriculture and local communities and ultimately our food supply. www.thirstylandmovie.com I recently won a Mid-America Regional EMMY® Award for my film, The Great American Wheat Harvest! We're pretty excited.

Thanks for the request!

Hey Janet thanks for connecting on here!

This week I've felt like a prime example that despite slim odds, one can succeed, with a lot of tenacity and hard work. I'm one of 12 screenwriters accepted into the inaugural Meryl Streep-funded Writer's Lab, organized by the WGA, New York Women in Film & TV and the film collective Iris. I was chosen for my script JAGUAR TRAIL, which competed with about 3,500 others. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/meryl-streep-funded-writers-lab-81...

Enjoying the glow: My feature film script JAGUAR TRAIL is a finalist in the screenwriter's lab funded by Meryl Streep and organized by New York Women in Film & TV and Iris Goes to the Movies. There were almost 3,800 entries. I think there are about seven slots in the lab.

Hello Janet ~ Thanks for connecting. All the best! Kari

My cover shot shows the place where I'm currently staying, the Dorland artist residency in Temecula, CA. I'm working on a TV series bible and pilot version of my short, THE BEAUTY OF DISASTER. And I'm also continuing work on a speculative fiction novel. This is a rare jewel of a place, and I'm so grateful to get some solid work done away from the madding crowd and my beloved Harlem neighborhood in New York City.

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.
