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…
How To Build Your Creative Support Network
Friends, family, project collaborators, social media connections—I’m sure your network is abundant. But in all likelihood, you’re missing out on a mastermind group—a creative support network of individuals who guide each other through professional challenges. Mastermind groups are well known in the business community, yet rarely used by filmmakers, writers, actors, and other artists. Personally, I think it’s time creatives start leveraging this idea for th…

No one else can fulfill your dream, no matter what they may say. And Honey, you can’t fulfill the dream of anyone else, either. Dreams are individual. Unique.

Stage 32 Writer Lands Shopping Agreement For Audio Drama From Titan1Studios
I have been screenwriting for many years but always had difficulty making any serious progress, even after winning major screenwriting awards. As a UK-based screenwriter specializing in Science Fiction, there seemed to be the added issue of sci-fi being perceived as too expensive and thus easy to disregard (at least in my small part of the world). I began using Stage 32 Pitch Sessions as there was a clear appetite from many of the professionals for genre material. To date, I have receive…

I’ve always told myself and heard the phrase, “Never give up” (then he sat down speech). Which is why I have continued to seek out different producers and others in the film industry for years here at Stage 32.

At Wright State University – for two years, I learned music theory and ear training. Then I had an opportunity to perform &lsqu…
