How Stage 32 Turned A Dream Into A Reality!
I have been working on my teleplay for my TV Rom-Com, NUMBER 54, since 2004. Yes, it’s been twenty years of working on and polishing the Pilot script. I would sit at my desk and write a little, scrap it, and start over. I felt something was missing, but what was it? After twenty years of writing and rewriting, I finally figured it out. It was too long and it wasn’t funny enough. So as a member of STAGE 32 since 2015, I decided to write my best rendition and pitch it to someon…
How Stage 32 Got My Work In Front Of The Right People & Connected Me With My New Manager!
In The Beginning… Five years ago, I made the bold decision to try my hand at writing for the screen. I had just had two musicals (written with the brilliant composer/lyricist Eamonn O’Dwyer) published and licensed by Samuel French at Concord Theatricals and until that point, my experience was mainly in period adaptations for the stage - it was time for something new. Making the decision was the easy part – trying to execute it was almost impossible! I live in the UK, …
Stage 32 Success Story: Zero To Zealful In Under Six Months!
Last year, I snagged a 2nd Rounder badge at the Austin Film Festival with my script Kira and Henry and sat in on a roundtable led by Larry Postel, a non-represented screenwriter living in Dallas. Larry’s story is unique in that he has managed to have four original spec screenplays purchased, produced, and released since 2020. Larry told us his secret; he sent out query emails after doing lots of research on who would be a good producer for his scripts. He didn't have a manager and …

Stage 32 Success Story: Three Filmmakers Walk Into A Speakeasy...
It may sound like the start to a cringy joke… Jessica Calvello, Stephanie Harrison, and Stephanie Moore are filmmakers who walked into a Stage 32 meetup at Austin Speakeasy and by kismet found themselves connecting on a level that cemented their collaboration desires in a matter of a couple of appetizers and drinks.

Executive & Screenwriter Wrap Production On Pilot After Connecting Through Stage 32!
So, we're on set filming the pilot episode. On the monitor, we're watching a corporate meeting devolve into a hilarious gunfight. Yet, all I can think is that I owe this entire ridiculous situation to RB and STAGE 32. Let me explain. Stage 32 is a fantastic platform for curating and connecting new, up-and-coming writers and filmmakers with entertainment professionals like me. My absolute favorite offering from Stage 32 is their consulting service. It allows me to interact with a writer …
Writer & Executive Wrap Production On Pilot After Connecting Through Stage 32 Script Services!
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.

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…
