Understanding the Development Process: What It Really Takes to Get a Film or Series Made
Happy Friday, Stage 32 Community! There’s a lot of mystery surrounding the word “development.” It’s one of those industry terms that gets tossed around constantly, but when you ask five different people what it means, you’ll probably get five different answers. That’s why this week, inspired by a recent conversation in the Writer’s Room Lounge, I want to pull back the curtain a bit. In honor of July Filmmakers Club, we’re getting real abo…

From Vision to Reality: The Making of Penelope's Story & How It All Started on Stage 32!
When I first set out to tell Penelope’s Story, a deeply personal film about the re-birth of a victim of human and sex trafficking, I had a powerful idea, but little understanding of what it would take to bring it to life. This story is so close to my heart, as the spiritual journey of my main protagonist, Penelope, reflects how I was able to overcome mental abuse. What started as a vision slowly transformed into a finished film that has been licensed for Amazon Prime Vi…

A Stage 32 Success Story: My Unexpected Stage 32 Journey!
Hello, Stage 32 Creatives! I'm Sandra Isabel Correia. Today, I want to share my unexpected journey on Stage 32. This vibrant community for filmmakers, screenwriters, and creatives has been more transformative than I ever anticipated. My Background I spent part of my childhood in a theater owned by my father in the 1970s and 1980s in a village in southern Portugal. I remember choosing films with him for the theater, and they are still vividly in my mind: Bud Spencer and Terence Hill…
November Write Club Week #3: Set Yourself Up For Success With Feedback On Your Project!
Inception You have an idea. Well, maybe a kernel of an idea at this point, but it’s there. Could make a great movie or TV series. The idea starts to grow and take shape in your mind. You crack a story beat while driving, type it into your phone, or write it into a notebook the next time you stop. You think of that amazing character's name and laugh out loud to yourself, “That’s great”. The notes become an outline, your thoughts start to take shape, and the bones …

I recommend that you stop complaining that you never get any breaks and look into pitching with Stage 32. I got my current manager from a pitch and recently signed a shopping agr…
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…
