A Stage 32 Exclusive: "Our Year of Living Famously" by Judi Levine, Producer of "The Sessions"
Around this time every year, the major Hollywood studios begin releasing their so-called "prestige" films.

Made for a fraction of the cost and with a P&A fund measuring pennies on the dollar of what the studios can afford, the movi…

Today's guest blogger, to me, is the epitome of someone who "gets it". Nathan Gower is an Assistant Professor of English at a liberal arts college at Louisville with…

Before we get going today, my thoughts and prayers to all Stage 32 members on the eastern seaboard. I hope you and your loved ones escaped Sandy with little to no damage. It's been an inspiring last few months here at Stage 32. Some of our members have joined forces to launch some incredibly exciting and impressive projects. Quite a few others have landed major roles through connections made on the site. A number of behind the scenes workers have reached out to let me know about s…
