Bryan Bethke: Cinematographer in Waseca, Minnesota.

Won $500 bucks and $750 dollars worth of greenlight my film pitches. I am beyond stoked guys! YAYZ! https://fadeinonline.com/post/scifi-script-contest

Hi, all! I just wanted to say, I hope everyone in the Stage 32 community is staying well and safe. As for me, I've worked two screenplays to the point where I'm feeling good enough about them to give to my beta readers and have stared another screenplay and outlined another. What are you working on?

What are you doing to get your screenplay made? Competitions? Pitching? Or ?? Every time I come to the conclusion you have to win competitions, period, someone posts the news that they got an agent/manager on a script that didn't win a single contest and it's getting made into a movie. What do you think is the "right" path?

When to use filters, and when to not use filters? Addem, correct combinations for different circumstances...

Hi Bryan. 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 1,000,000+ 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

Is anyone a DIT? Looking for a mentor.

Wanted to learn the common workflows, equipment set up remotely because I'm learning as I go by myself after each job.

No I don't have a DIT cart. I have my MacBook, thunderbolt adapter, card readers etc. Some clients were impressed that I have a set up compared to others expecting everything to be given to them...

Let me know your thoughts. Courses, seminars, hard drives, softwares, equipment I should look into, which Pelican case should I get (right now I'm using small hard suitcase).
