Christopher Ott: Editor, producer and sound designer in Columbus, Ohio.

Hi Everyone,

I recently just discovered this site and I’m

liking it so far! A little bit about me is that after graduating from Ohio State in 2017, I tried to get a job in media and nobody would hire me, because of my lack of experience.

Over the past two years while working at a tech company, I’ve gotten more experience than I thought I would get especially for being 25. I currently have two internships here in Ohio, one at 90.5 WCBE as a Photographer, Videographer and Editor. While at my other internship I am a producer on a radio show for the local fox affiliate 610 WTVN. This show I do 2-3 days a week including Saturday mornings for the Live recording. This show airs across Canada and most of the eastern portion of the United States. I also have been very lucky to have gotten a few IMDB credits along the way for a few short films as an Editor, Sound Editor, Sound Mixer, Assistant Director, First AC and Behind the scenes work. I just wrapped my first every DP credit just about a week ago and I am editing it now. A few of these credits have not appeared yet on IMDB, but they will soon. The last thing is that I am currently writing my first screenplay based on a book with the author who is currently in Michigan. I am very excited about it, however I can’t say much about it right now.

I currently am at the point in my career and life where I want to branch out of Ohio and see what’s out there and connect and do more with others. Feel free to connect with if you wish and I would love to help collaborate on projects no matter where they are or what stage they are in! I am hoping to be moving to LA here in August, however until then I’m always willing to work remotely and stay in constant communication.

Thanks Everyone!

Hi Christopher. 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
