Matt Dugan: Producer of marketing & distribution in Hollywood, California.

Hi y'all! I'm a comedian (stand-up, improv) and writer living in LA. I've written memoir features for pubs such as Marie Claire, Washington Post, and New York Magazine, as well as humor/satire features for McSweeney's and BUST. I've written two original pilots based on my sexual adventures and ice cream adventures, respectively (and hey, sometimes those types of adventures overlap, am I right?). Happy to share with anyone who'd like to take a peek, and would love to meet others in this realm.

For US deals, what’s the difference between Aggregation and Distribution?

What distribution avenues do Distributors afford you in addition to the streaming platforms that Aggregators afford you? Is it just DVD sales and theatrical? Or is there something more that Distributors provide? Thanks.

Hi, My name is Matt and I’m with Frudy Television Network & we’re launching Roku, Amazon Fire TV, IOS and Android apps in March and are looking for completed projects. We’re seeking features, docs, shorts, web and more! All genres and global rights preferred. Please comment or send me a DM for more details! Our website is: www.Frudy.com

Butterfly’s are floating around the belly. So close to booking a producer to hear my pitch. Booking a month out will give me plenty of time to follow the format and recipe provided by stage 32. Am I ready? That 3 inches of gray matter between the ears messes with me.

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I recently heard about Stage32 and I'm excited to poke around and see what's up. I am a suspense-thriller novelist wanting to learn about screenwriting. Does anyone have any suggestions for blogs, books, etc. to go to first? Any other suggestions for participating in this community? Thanks!

Hi Matt. 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
