RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions and Other Fun Stuff (January 23, 2015)
Greetings from the Sundance Film Festival and welcome to the weekend, everyone. This week Amazon announced they were getting into the movie business and if you happened to attend this month’s On Stage With RB, you know my feelings on the subject. I keep saying it’s an exciting time to be a creative and it seems that each week there’s fresh news supporting my theory. Under ENTERTAINMENT NEWS this week, I have all the 411 on the Amazon move including a great piece by A…
Making the Most of Your Networking Time
Registrations for the January 2015 On Stage With RB were in high demand, smashing all previous records. As you know, we normally open registration to the first 1000 members. We almost always hit capacity, but this time we were well above. As a result, many Stage 32'ers were shut out from the broadcast. We apologize for this inconvenience! In an effort to make things right, we've taken the following steps: 1 - We've converted the video at record speed and it is now…

How GPS Defines Us
A person’s environment will invariably shape their personality to determine their voice and how they use it to interact with the wider world. For some, escaping from this inherent trap becomes a driving force until it utterly consumes every aspect of their existence. They avoid committing to anything locally for fear of being tied to their environment for life. Rather than finding ways to become part of their community, they actively seek to burn all bridges. This in itself init…
So You Want To Be An Actor But Can't Afford To Print Your Scripts?
OK, I'm not about to tell you about discounted print deals. (Although I do know a few of them in London) I've only been a 'working' actor and filmmaker since 2012. (Wow what a short time) I've been professional a lot longer, but professional is very different to working. So I wonder what I could possibly share with you all that would hopefully inspire any meaning. I have come to this industry through a somewhat unconventional means. I'm a working class boy from…
RB's Stage 32 News, Notes, Discussions and Other Fun Stuff (January 16, 2015)
Welcome to the weekend, everyone. Before we get started, a quick word of thanks to Stage 32 Marketing Manager, Shannon Stegall, who assisted greatly with the Stage 32 Blog while I was traveling. She kept the machinery oiled, and I’m very thankful. The Oscar nominations were released this week. I have the full list of nominees, a look at some snubs and an article from our friends at Indiewire who opine that announcement day this year represented a dark day for women? What say you?…

Bullet Proof Pages
2006. I'm a radio air-personality at POWER 92FM in Richmond, Virginia when it happens: American Idol comes to town. One of my best friends auditions for the show, and he's voted to the next round. For Elliott Yamin, the rest is history. My boy placed third. There's nothing like seeing your friend on TV. "Surreal" doesn't do it justice. The energy of Elliott's story inspires me in a life-changing way. I must tell the story that has to be told. I devour every …

Scaling The Studio Walls
Today's guest blog comes from Stage 32 member Paul Norman Rich. Paul currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Starting as a copywriter at CBS television when cable was still new, Paul quickly moved into promotional writing for home video, eventually leading him to managerial positions at MGM/UA where he marketed films such as Rain Man, Moonstruck, etc. This eventually brought him to working at Disney, where he worked with Ann Daly and Bill Mechanic spearheading…
What Are Your 2015 Goals?
Welcome to the first weekend of 2015, everyone, and a very Happy New Year to you all. Due to travel and time constraints, there is no Weekend Blog this week. Instead, I thought it would be a great time to discuss and share our plans and goals for the coming year. Some of what I am planning on accomplishing in 2015 includes writing 2 scripts, completing my crowdsourcing book for Focal Press, dipping my toes back into acting, filming a short and implementing a myriad of Stage 32 init…
