Abdallah Elchami: Director of marketing & distribution, distributor and manager in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Hello Stage 32 members! I am Abdallah, Managing Partner at MAD Solutions. MAD Solutions is the first Pan-Arab independent studio and fully integrative marketing and creative consultancy for the Arab film and Entertainment Industry. Under the umbrella of MAD Solutions, the studio is supported by five pillars: MAD Marketing, MAD Content, MAD Distribution, MAD Culture and MAD Celebrity, which together are helping to usher in an exciting new generation of Arab filmmakers and entertainment talent. You can find a bit more on us here: http://www.mad-solutions.com/ Our most prized initiative is the Arab Cinema Center. Born from the passion to support Arab film's international presence, boost interest in Arab cinema, culture and business, the ACC functions as an international platform to promote Arab cinema, provide access to the best of Arab talent, films and companies participating in the film festival where the ACC will be present. So far, we've had two successful editions at the Berlinale European film Market 2015 and at Cannes Film Festival's Le Marché du Film. The ACC aims to demonstrate to the international community that the Arab Film and Entertainment industry is a fertile ground for creativity and productivity, and is a kaleidoscope of visionaries that do what they do for the love of Cinema. The ACC is a work in progress. It is a never-ending tapestry of stories, dreamt, written, produced, acted, shot and directed by voices from the Arab world. Join us in the weaving of our own stories, and let this be a phenomenon that will endure and keep growing, for generations to come.

Hi Abdallah. 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
