When I first applied to Stage 32 in the spring of 2024, I was immediately drawn to RB’s mission of making opportunities in the entertainment industry more accessible. At the same time, I couldn’t help but wonder what I could really bring to the table as a guest service professional with nearly two decades of experience. That question didn’t linger for long, because once I was offered the position and jumped in, the answer became very clear. My day-to-day goal is simple…

At one of my many day jobs, I worked in communications for one of the world’s largest banks. Not my dream job, but I had an office, so that was cool. When I wasn’t pasting press clippings into photo albums with solid gold covers for a former chairman (a real thing that happened), I got to work a fair bit with the CEO.

Last year I wrote the blog post How I Shot a No-Budget Ghost Comedy Feature in One Week. The TL;DR of it is I’d been dying to make a movie, I’d been writing a lot and waiting on news, got sick of waiting, so I wrote a script, assembled a team, rented a house, fed everyone, and then shot the thing with very little sleep. I also amassed a fair amount of credit card debt. Why? Because this is what I love and I wanted to do it. I’d tried crowdfunding campaigns in the past,…
Happy Monday, Stage 32! Each Monday we share the success of different Stage 32 members who have come together in collaboration to create something incredible. This Monday is no different. It's the story of how writer Gregory Houghton and producer James Tucker came together to create a new pilot called Adjustments. Greg is represented by Babz Bitela of the Bitela Agency, who is also an active Stage 32 member. The development is an exciting one for Greg Houghton. Gre…

Hello fellow Stage 32ers! We wanted to kick off the week by highlighting some of our favorite success stories from the writers who have worked with us in Script Services in 2018. I get asked all the time what it's like behind the scenes here at Stage 32 and I have one word - it's BUSY. We love having incredible mentors that work with us (over 500 development executives, managers, producers and agents) to give our writers feedback on how their material fits in the marketplace. What we lo…
