Wearing Many Hats As A Creative
Stage 32 Screenwriter Optioned (and other success stories)
What a start to 2013. It seems many Stage 32'ers have to put the pedal to the floor as it relates to their dreams and aspirations. The success stories have been coming in fast and furious. Over the last few days alone, we've heard from: Two actors - one in Denmark, one in Chicago - who landed agents. An editor from Los Angeles who has cut no less than 23 shorts who scored his first feature job. A composer from Sydney who has been hired to score a film for a New York p…

He was selfless in his approach. Other members of the community took to him immediately. Nearly nine months later, Stephen has completed his fi…
Even more power of networking...
There's no greater success than when the primary strategy of a plan is served. As Curt and I drew up the blueprint for Stage 32, we had many goals, but paramount amongst them was this: Help creatives find work and, by attrition, get projects off the ground. Over the last few months we've seen no less than a half dozen projects launched exclusively employing Stage 32 cast and crew. Further still, thousands of members have made connections that have led to casting opportunities,…
