Gustavo Luna: Actor, camera operator and comedian in Houston, Texas.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Stage 32 and still trying to get myself oriented. So far, I love this site, its exceptional! I was born and raised in Massachusetts; I lived in NYC, Los Angeles, and Charleston SC for a few years here and there. I've always loved writing, whether it be for the page, stage or screen. I currently have seven novels written, one anthology of short stories and an eighth novel in the works. I'm in the process of trying to pitch one of my novels for the screen. I've already adapted the pilot and am pitching it actively. I love to write about strong female characters at any age. My other genre passion is science-fiction fantasy. Wishing everyone a great weekend! - Arlene

Great to meet you, Gustavo! :-)

Hello Stage 32. I am often remiss in my networking on stage 32. I am a greenhorn screenwriter with a feature horror film in development. William Goldman just died. I would like to hear from those of you who are influenced by his work. I read the script for Butch Cassidy last year and learned more about screenwriting from that one read than any other single action I have taken on this route. In particular it was the simplicity and straight forward approach that triggered something, or awakened something in me.

Great to be part of this community.....thanks RB for starting this!!!!! I’ve hosted and produced a television show , YouTube show starting 7 years ago. “Wake up with Dr. Cheryl “...our shows are interviewing people that are contributing with a capital C what their purpose and passion is ...to educate and inspire humanity.....I am now working on getting all the shows on Podcasts... across the global communities..... have any ideas and information?

My name is Barry and I’m a scriptwriter working in the Chicago area. The bulk of my experience has been in audio (I wrote a Stage 32 blog on writing for audio, which you can find at https://www.stage32.com/blog/Four-Crucial-Guidelines-for-Writing-Compelling-Audio-Drama). I wrote dramas for the Moody Bible Radio Network for many years, then made a decidedly odd but rewarding transition to The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas, where I wrote both original stories and audio adaptations of the classic TV series. After The Twilight Zone went out of production, I wrote for an anthology horror series called Fangoria’s Dreadtime Stories, which was accessible via Fangoria Magazine’s website. I’ve been lucky enough to hear my work performed by such actors as Malcolm McDowell, Stacy Keach, Tim Kazurinsky, Sean Astin, Virginia Williams, and Kathy Garver.

Lately, I wrote a couple of television commercials that are scheduled to run around Christmas and wrote a pitch for a producer looking to sell a series to Netflix. My most recent project is adapting a script for television that was originally written for Fangoria’s Dreadtime Stories, but never got produced due to the show’s cancellation. If you know anyone who’s interested in an hour-long horror/detective noir hybrid that isn’t a pilot, let me know!

Hey all, stoked to be here and to experience inspiration from so many driven and motivated creatives. I've spent the majority of my life giving into my logical and practical mind, but it's time to squash that noise. I'm ready to let my creative soul run this operation. I just recently finished my first draft of my first spec screenplay, an action comedy, and I am working on dialing it in before sending it off for feedback and coverage.

That logical part of my life...that was spent doing software development (specifically web application development). In that world, developers will often get together to "talk shop" and discuss things they learned, comment on the landscape of software engineering, etc. I'm curious to find out if the writing world (and I guess the screenwriting world to be more specific) has something similar. Not a writing group per se in which everyone discusses their personal works and looks for help and feedback, but more of a "we all do the same thing so we can kick it and relate and talk the same language" type of get-together.

Looking forward to making more connections, being inspired, and providing support and inspiration as well!

Hello everyone, I am currently wondering if anyone would be interested in recording a monologue. I want to test it as a concept first along with test footage before I get into any more depth, I do have 3 versions of the monologue which are almost relatively the same but I just need to hear a voice if that makes sense.

Thanks

I am Producer working on about 11+ projects off the top of my head . My Partner has over 18 years experience in production and I have been in an around this crazy industry for about 40+ years in one way or another. The last film we put out had two Academy Award winners in it. We do everything in media that you can imagine and probably a few that you probably haven’t.

I am also a musician and a photographer who has worked internationally in varied disciplines. .

I dont talk much about it . I have worked in aspects of this busnines as a secret agent, but those days are clearly numbered. So I dont plan on making much noise as I am pretty busy. But I am open to speaking with others should there be any interest as it is what we do or need advice. I am a little shy but an NDA will cure that.

Look forward to seeing all your successes and wonderful ideas come to fruition.

Just as a note I attempted to contact one individual here and got no response. It was sad because I actually had substantial funding set up for his project. While wish him all the best , he will never know what he missed. I am not making any promises for anyone or anything other than we are willing to talk to nearly anyone, even if you are a Newbee. We belielive each story is sacred and deserves to be told. Our reputation is important to us as we know we are only as good as the current project we are working on.

This site is intriguing to me. We are based in NYC. But we travel as needed. One crew of twenty, it makes no difference to us. I am sure you have far more to teach me than I have to teach you. Still one never knows what can lay in store! We believe what goes around comes around . We know.....and we are still having fun. It shows. Cheers to you all! Yes I know I didnt mention our companies, At. This point it shouldn’t really matter.
