A free and open forum. The place to discuss anything on your mind film, television and theater related…or not.
You know how I want to raise awareness of issues like bullying, harassment, relationship/domestic abuse, drug abuse, gang violence, and trafficking. Well, I do have some original ideas. Such as one where a former soldier must protect a group of kids from pedophiles attempting to trafficking them;...

I love this hashtag
I offer a variation—

—the AI that counts
Note:
- Image not AI generated—it’s a photo taken with camera pressed against my palm.
- No, em dashes and bulleted points are not an AI tell.
- Yes, the emphasised “I” in the above heading means me, and, when you r...

You know how there are many websites that say you can contact a celebrity or a famous person? I would like to know what sites are legit.
Plus, you know how I would like to work with Disney? Is there a way to contact the Disney family, like descendants of Walt Disney? Maybe they could be of some help.
I don't know how anybody else does it here, but I found I needed to track my project contacts at Stage 32. So I created a spreadsheet in Excel that tracks every relevant detail over the life of a contact. It has Columns for each aspect of a Contact, and Rows for each Contact Instance. So...

I do that as well, but I keep separate sheets for each title. Nothing beats an actual database though.

Walking Tall — A Song From My Heart
I just finished writing a song that has completely moved me, and I wanted to share a little about it with this community. It’s called “Walking Tall.”
This song isn’t just music to me. It’s a piece of my heart, my life, and my values. It came through me fully formed...

If you just couldn't wait any longer for "Fallout" Season 2, then you're in luck — Prime Video has pushed up the premiere a day to Tuesday at 6 p.m. PT.
In honor of the second season's New Vegas theme, Amazon announced the news on the outside of the Sphere in Las Vegas.

Yes! Fallout is my favorite show right now, Mark Deuce. Thanks for letting us know.
Same here Maurice Vaughan Saw the first episode last night and it was great!
I watched it last night too, Mark Deuce. That's the way to write and make a season opener!
Totally agree Maurice Vaughan
Every generation seems to have at least one villain that becomes culturally iconic — but there’s one who stands out just a hair above the rest:
DC’s - The Joker.
I’m very curious who people here think would make a compelling Joker on screen
Personally, two actors have always stood out to me:
1: Willem D...

Ray Nicholson would be an incredible Joker, Michael Dzurak!
James LO David Bowie? Okay. Granted he passed away in 2016 (I believe) I love the visual of him as joker, completely agree with you on that!
Maurice Vaughan If I were to be 100% honest, him in stranger things, I can understand the concept of him being joker.
Unfortunately, the joker role, literally put one of Hollywoods greatest actors int...

James McAvoy, maybe.
I'm mostly thinking of SPLIT when I say this.
In 2008, I wrote an article for Being Jewish magazine about a dream that already felt larger than me: building a Jewish library in Vilna—Vilnius, the Jerusalem of Lithuania. At the time, I thought I was documenting a journey. I didn’t yet understand that I was recording the opening chapter of a resp...

I'm confused. I recently joined this platform but haven't figured out how to use it. I wanted to develop my talent, but I feel lost. I have a script and several new and unique ideas, but I haven't been able to present them or make use of them.
You could do a script swap with another writer in the Screenwriting Lounge, Samir Mohammed The Sharif, reading each other's script and giving feedback on them. www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting...

Maurice VaughaHello. How are you, my friend? Are you okay? I wanted to ask you if this is how a script is written.
Hi, Samir Mohammed The Sharif. I'm doing fine. How are you?
That isn't how a script is written. I suggest reading scripts. It'll help you learn how to format scripts and get better at writing them. You...

Getting better at writing scripts and selling them take time, Samir Mohammed The Sharif. The sequence of events and scene descriptions are the writer's responsibility.
