Junaid Ahmed: Actor, camera operator and cinematographer in Reston, Virginia.

Life is made up of choices, struggles and movies! Hi all my name is Junaid (rhymes with Lemonade) and I love in the DMV.

I’ve been passionate about film and movies for sometime now and entering this side of the film industry has opened my eyes in ways I never had imagine.

I’ve always admired by the finished product which is the films we consume, but never really understood the depth and breadth of efforts that go into actually producing a film that’ll live on for decades.

I’m lucky to be part of the Stage32 network and hoping to meet other creators and filmmakers whom I can work with in the future.

Thanks so much for the opportunity!

Hello Everyone, I haven't introduced myself in a long time and I am excited to share with you that I just finished my first episode of a sketch comedy podcast that I am writing, acting in, producing, and editing. I am an actress that can work on screen and behind the scenes. I am well diverse and can bring a lot to a production. I do wear many hats which I love to do because it leaves me always doing something for my career. Please check out my first episode and let me know what you think. It is called PU which means Practically Useless.

Hi Junaid. 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
