Stage 32 Member Finds Success at AFM After Mentoring with Alexia Melocchi
WOW! Five days of intensive wandering, going up one elevator and down another. Pitching my TV series and three screenplays, meeting old friends, and making new ones. That’s what the American Film Market is all about. This was my second visit in ten years to Santa Monica and the AFM, and I was not disappointed. I was on a mission, and Stage 32 prepared me to meet the challenges all creatives are confronted with. What do I do, what do I say, and how do I say it? First, I was given …

Romance Writer Lands Representation After Stage 32 Pitch Session
I’m lucky. I like to pitch. My father was a traveling salesman and used to talk about his work at the dinner table. I understand the art of the sale. Because of this and what my sister calls our familial blind confidence, I have no fear of getting up in front of people to talk. I like sales. And I write screenplays. That’s how I came to land at Stage 32 Script Services where they offer opportunities to speak with industry executives. You pay for time and expertise, essential…
Stage 32 Member Produces Short Film Through the Platform's Community
When and where does one decide to make their first movie? In my case, it was a decision made two months ago, on September 2022. Clearly, the most obvious place to make the project (a short about a New Cinema) is the city of Los Angeles. After this decision, I told myself, So far, so good. I've got it made. I've got a lot going for me! You see, for one thing, there was Stage 32. Since joining the community four months ago, I had made productive and unique connections and written a blog…

Screenwriter in Pre-Production on Script Developed with Stage 32 Mentor
One year ago, I joined my first Writers' Room live class. I knew next to nothing about screenwriting - aside from what I read in Save The Cat - and was thirsty for knowledge. So much can happen in only a year. One year ago, I declared I wanted to be a screenwriter and dove into everything available on Stage 32. Today we are in pre-production for one of the five scripts I've since written. Another one of my scripts has a director and producer attached, awaiting to solidify financing so …

Writer and Pitch Deck Creator Hired Through Stage 32
I’ve been meaning to post my Stage 32 success stories for a while, but I’ve been busy with, well, working on the jobs I’ve gotten through Stage 32.

Stage 32 Comedy Contest Top 10 Script In Post-Production With Miantri Films
“Why don’t we just make it ourselves?” This was the question posed to me in January 2021 by producer Michael Alfieri of Miantri Films regarding my script, The Throwback. The start of every new year gives us a newfound boldness and optimism. “I will lose fifty pounds.” “I will read 20 books per month.” “I will learn Tuvan throat singing.” That’s me. So when Mike posed that question, my response was an enthusiastic “YES!&rdq…
