It's an exciting time for you as a creative - whether you…
A Stage 32 Success Story: Getting To The "Yes" For Your Screenplay!

Did she just say she loves my script?” She continues, “It’s a cool story that deserves to be told.” I’m not expecting more than the typical encouragement and notes. So, I’m momentarily surprised to have someone excited about my story. IT TAKES PERSISTENCE We dream of …

Within a few days I had completed my first TV Pilot – however awfully …
