Jay Soo: Director in Arlington, Virginia.

Hi! We are organizing the Fhilly Fifteen Sec Film Festival to try to help thousands of talents to connect with real world projects. We believe that will set them on a career path in the field they love. For example, every Finalist wins a paid assignment from a company or individual who will put the resulting video project to practical use. So in place of a trophy on the mantle, our winners gain exposure, practical experience, a paid gig and an hellacious resume entry. We would like to invite you to be a part of the Festival - you can play your part as a contestant, as a supporter to our Indiegogo campaign or simply just by spreading the info among your talented friends and coworkers. Learn more about the fest at www.bit.ly/ffsecff

Hi Jay - Are you still active on here? I am a screenwriter in Durham, NC. Wondering if you are interested in my award-winning script…looking for a team to direct/produce! Let me know if interested. Best, Dr.Beth-Anne Blue

Glad to make another local connection! Sincerely, WENDRA

Hey Jay, we recently added the ability for users to subscribe to Lounge topics. To get you started, we've automatically subscribed you to the production topic. You can see the latest posts in your subscribed topics by clicking the My Lounge subscriptions tab on your wall. You can easily add and update Lounge subscriptions by clicking Manage my subscriptions from the same page. Enjoy!

Hey Jay, I'm excited to announce our new Stage 32 Lounge, a major upgrade to the previous Discussions area. Here are some of the highlights:

• Subscriptions - Subscribe to your favorite topics and stay up to date on the subjects that matter to you most.
• My Discussions - Never lose track of discussions you created or commented on.
• Better topics - We've completely reorganized the discussion topics to make it much easier to browse and post discussions.

Hey Jay, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Hi Jay, we've just added a new section to your tool bar - Resources. Here you'll find links to the best acting, filmmaking, and screenwriting resources as well as a comprehensive list of film schools and film festivals. We'll be adding new categories and links regularly. One more thing, you can now find the "Messages" link in your sidebar right under your name. Enjoy!

Hi Jay, we've just released a pretty big update that I think you'll be excited about. You can now see posts and updates by everyone in your network right on your own wall. Happy networking!

Hi Jay, check out the new "Find Work" section (under Projects at the top of your screen). Here you'll find projects in development that are seeking talent in the occupations you selected in your profile. So if you’re a screenwriter, you'll see projects in need of screenwriters. It’s the perfect tool for matching creative talent with suitable projects.

Hey Jay, welcome to Stage 32! I'm the lead developer at Stage32.com. This is your network, so please let me know if you have any questions or feedback about the site. We'd love to hear your comments. Thanks. P.S. - We ask all members to invite at least 5 other people. Help build your network today.
