We spend a lot of time in this industry looking at products. That is after all why we do this; to get things made, to be seen by an audience. But... It seems to me that we neglect our inner selves and suffer the consequences because we don’t quite know how to deal with anxieties and concerns, that seem to let rip on our fragile selves when we experience problems like rejection or people letting us down.

During that chilly December, the Universe whispered in my ear, that maybe Sandra could help me resurrect my Producer career and work on my feature film, Seeing Rachel.

I’m always amazed at who you can come across on Stage 32. Our global community is so vast that there’s no chance of knowing who’s who, unless you take the plunge and start connecting with people you meet whilst sharing comments in the various Lounges or the Blog. Phil Hardy and I had just published our latest article “How Can You Sell Your Screenplay To A Studio" and I noticed a comment from Michael A. Levine. Michael, by the way, is an award-winning compose…
