Stage 32 Has Been My Most Significant Guiding Force
In 2021 I woke up one Saturday morning and decided to turn the memoir I was writing into a TV series. I’d never tried screenwriting before and had no idea where the inspiration came from – but was determined to make it happen. “How To Write A Screenplay” I started Googling, “How to write a screenplay.” I found a few free online courses, read a few scripts, and dove right in. Within a few days I had completed my first TV Pilot – however awfully …
The Little Screenwriter Who Could: Tenacity In The Face Of Rejection
Giving up. It’s a phase, I believe, that all good writers grapple with at some point. "It’s too hard." "I’m not good enough." "Maybe I should have been a banker." These are all thoughts that have crossed my mind (except the banker part) at one time or another throughout my many years as a writer. Thoughtful, calculating, creative, innovative, imaginative – all qualities that make a great writer - can harvest overthinking, and insecurity, and make us question our v…

How Stage 32 Was An Essential Tool For Making My Short Film!
My short film, Rematch was finally released this year, and I’m excited to share it with the world. It’s a 20-minute domestic dramedy about two contentious brothers shot entirely in my home on an ultra-low budget. I’ve already outlined the hard lessons learned making that film in a recent Stage 32 blog, and I encourage you to give that a read if you haven’t already. However, while it’s important to shine a light on your mistakes, I also wanted to highlight a …

More Pitchin’, Less Bitchin’: How I Found Representation & Partnerships Through Stage 32!
Do you partake of the opportunities to pitch Industry folks through Stage 32 Script Services or do you complain about how your manager/agent never sends you on Generals? What? You don’t have a manager? Are you worried you can’t get through to Hollywood types and others can? Would you like a manager? I recommend that you stop complaining that you never get any breaks and look into pitching with Stage 32. I got my current manager from a pitch and recently signed a shopping agr…
How Stage 32 Helped Me Accomplish My Goals: Sometimes It Takes Years... Until It Doesn't
I wrote my first screenplay in my mid-twenties when Syd Field’s Foundations of Screenwriting was the major go-to for the craft. “Spa Wars” was a parody steeped in small-town politics and, of all things, an ongoing economic rivalry between two competing health clubs. Really tacky stuff. I requested script notes from Sam Havens, Professor Emeritus at the University of St. Thomas in Houston. Solution: rewrite the damn thing. I did what most mystified young screenwriters d…
