Hi Cedric, nice to meet you here
I feel like STAGE32 is an intimate space where we can share openly. I'd love read what your fears and struggles are at the moment.

Expand commentA movie's eventually coming out that I've written and that's as exciting as it is terrifying. There's bouts of imposter syndrome in there along with worrying the film will be trashed or, even worse, completely ignored. While I know it's a good problem to have, it feels like a new chapter of mind-fuckery after nearly a decade trying to make sense of breaking in. It's like the plank you're trying to balance on doesn't get any wider, it just gets higher.
On top of that, there's the issue of trying to build a career on my true voice. It's been an amazing couple of years for me. I've learned so much through direct experience writing and producing but part of what I've learned is that the kind of specs I like to write are, in many ways, opposed to what's considered commercial. I like writing pulpy low-budget dirt movies akin to the stuff popular in the early 90's. While I'm better off for the insight, it's been a harsh truth to face. It might be that my entire portfolio is next to worthless in today's market. The saving grace is that the movie that will come out is probably as close as I'm going to get to where I want to be so at least I may become known, and subsequently hired, for that kind of material.

My name's Danny Matier. I'm a writer from Melbourne Australia. I have 2 features produced (one of which I directed) and several others under option.
I'm determined to make far more use of this site and I'm interested in networking with other writers and producers, especially producers interested in thrillers with female leads.
The main genres I write in are thriller and horror, and since the world got turned upside down I've got to write a little more than usual.
I look forward to seeing you around on the site.
Cheers,
Dan
I would love to hear about the process of going from page to representation, to pitching. I’ve only finished two features so far, but I advice from someone successful in the field could be a huge help...
Expand commentI would love to hear about the process of going from page to representation, to pitching. I’ve only finished two features so far, but I advice from someone successful in the field could be a huge help. I’m interested to hear about the projects that you’ve gotten done. I’m always down for a spooky time!
Welcome, Danny!
Hi there!

Great work! Love seeing new projects
