My Stage 32 Story: Year One!
One of the strategies that helps me to stay positive is keeping a record of the good things that happen in my writing journey and life in general.

Reinvention When my wife, daughter, and I moved to Nashville, we did so to plant new roots and essentially, restart our family tree. We had no family or friends to depend on. Except for …

My Stage 32 Story: 10 Years In 5 Acts
1. The Blogger “Toxic & Elitist”, were the words circling within my head in November 2013. I’d found myself at the door of Stage 32 an artistic refugee, spiritually exhausted after a stint on screenwriting forums and a certain website that evaluates your scripts with a score. The former exposed me to trolls who’d convinced me I didn’t have what it takes to break in, while the latter had done nothing but send me in circles. While a script of mine had bee…

Stage 32 Member And Producer Team Up For Feature Film
Five years ago, I was dealing with multiple painful family losses back to back while traveling all the time to improve my acting skills and to work internationally. I couldn’t be close to my family, so I was using screenwriting as a tool for my mental health because, as an actor and interested in learning more about finding my voice, I found it through screenwriting, and later on, I discovered directing and producing too. I have always been somebody who trains himself to improve s…
Finding Success By Paying it Forward
We see posts here on Stage 32 and elsewhere posing the age-old question of how critical it is to live in LA to be a successful screenwriter/filmmaker and the usual replies are that it is probably beneficial but not necessary. Kinda like if swimming in the ocean is your thing, you should probably live near one. But that overlooks a larger question: How do you define “successful”? If the Holy Grail is Hollywood, get your butt out there. But I’ve discovered other definit…

Diversity Springboard Contest Winner Signs Shopping Agreement With Producer Met Through Stage 32
I’ve always loved writing and I’ve always had great ideas for TV shows and movies, but since I neither studied screenwriting or filmmaking nor had any contacts within the industry, I didn’t even contemplate writing a screenplay. Until a friend gave me a little push with this simple yet implacable argument: how can you be sure that you’re not a screenwriter if you never try? So, I tried… and I loved it. Talk about a revelation! I had finally found what I r…
