Hey folks, Tyler Council here, I am a comedy filmmaker hailing from the strange wild that is South Florida. I'm the creator of the sketch comedy collective, The Reel Idiots. In November 2023, while doctors in the United States were making medical history with the world’s first successful eye transplant, another significant event was brewing. Thanks to the invaluable support of Emily J. and the Stage 32 community, I found myself connecting with Harry Lowell of Nitelite Pictures fo…

Screenwriter Signs Shopping Agreement With Sandstone Artists After Connecting On Stage 32!

It didn’t start out as well as I hoped. I had submitted Dark Mother, my feature-length contained psychological thriller, for a Stage 32 consultation with Tammy Hunt of Sandstone Artists. Like most unrepresented writers, I was seeking to interest a manager in repping me and I was aware that Sandstone had signed writers from Stage 32. Tammy was delightful and full of Southern charm, but as she began to give me her creative feedback on the script, it became clear that while she like…

Balancing It All As A Creative

As a working actor, I am often asked: How do you balance your acting career with the rest of your life? It usually comes from those who aren't actors/artists or those who are actors but are struggling to find that balance. This got me thinking about balance and I asked myself whether "balance" is just an abstract idea or something practical to have in your life. More importantly, is it even possible to have balance with all the things we have going on, all the tasks we have to perform…

Sandstone Artists Signs Writer Discovered On Stage 32

I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical of Stage 32 at first. But I figured, why not? I've tried pretty much everything else. Joining Stage 32 ended up being a game-changer for my career.

The feedback I got from industry pros was eye-opening and, honestly, exactly what I needed. My screenwriting journey has been q…

Writer Signs Shopping Agreement With Director & Producer After Connecting Through Stage 32

I’m a professional comedian, actor, and “wannabe” writer. For over 22 years I’ve been performing as a stand-up comedian. When I was studying law to get my law degree, and then when I was working as a prosecutor I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d be a “stand-up comedian”. But it happened. Pursuing a career in the performing arts was never something that was considered an option when growing up in the 80s. My dad was old school, he was a mili…
