Esmaeil Torkzad: Screenwriter and producer in Tehrān, Iran.

Hey, Esmaeil Torkzad. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know I moved your post from the Producing Lounge to the Your Stage Lounge.

The Producing Lounge isn’t a place to find co-producers for projects. It’s a place for producers to discuss things about producing, share content (like tutorial videos and articles), and offer tips/advice on raising funds, setting a budget, on set strategies, and all other topics related to producing a film, television, or theater project.

You could search for producers in the Browse Members Section (www.stage32.com/people).

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope you find a co-producer!

Thank you Maurice for your thorough explanation. I will stay committed to the rules and I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience. It's good to know.

You're welcome, Esmaeil Torkzad.

Thank you dear Maurice Vaughan , that's a good suggestion, some sort of twist that clearly will effect them both cam be a nice diamond twist. I really appreciate your time and attention.

Sallie Olson thank you so much for your attention. that's a good one.

You're welcome, Esmaeil Torkzad.

Phil, thanks for the beat sheet video...and great to see you here on Stage 32 again!

I will definitely watch your take on Snyder's structure. It can be helpful, but I feel that his beat sheet is too set in stone.

Thanks Phillip E. Hardy, "The Real Deal" , it was particularly good to hear your take on the method and see with another perspective, the practical method of late Blake Snyder.

You're welcome, Esmaeil Torkzad. Glad the advice helped. How are you doing?

I'm doing really well, mentally and not career wise, but I know that I can finally take this project off of the paper into the real world. Thanks for asking Maurice Vaughan . Wish all the best for you man,

You're welcome, @Esmaeil Torkzad. Glad you're doing really well mentally. Hope things pick up for you with your career. I suggest keeping an eye on Stage 32's Job Section (www.stage32.com/find-jobs). It's updated regularly.

Hey Bill, Thanks for the well wishes. It's ironic that his production about the pandemic was not being forthcoming about how they were dealing with it. We're trying to do an exterior shoot in Arizona and with things being so out of control here, looks like I can save up some more money for production costs!!

I know Sundance wants to be live next year... maybe they can make it. I'm not thinking we'll be much out in the open for a few months. But who the hell knows?

All we can do is stay safe, pound keyboards, crunch numbers and pitch our fool heads off.

You and your clan stay well! And sane!!

Hey CJ Walley yeah I've read a lot about it, and of course it makes a lot of sense, so I'm rewriting the whole thing. I'm focusing on what it was that truly drew me to this story in the first place, and that is: very much needed alone time and the guilt that can come with that, especially when you're a parent. And you know what! I'm even turning it into a musical dark comedy (I'm not even kidding..). Let's see where this will lead me.

Thanks Maurice, Kiril, Erik, Bill and Philip for sharing your thoughts and info it is much appreciated!
