Define 'change gears'. Change into what? 'President at Noel Studios' suggests a business base, 'Director' suggests a people oriented creative visionary quest, DOP suggests more of a technical based vision, 'Editor' is a highly technical artistic task and a still Photographer tends to be in the continuity sphere - what do you want to emphasize?

Hey, Rip Noel! I second Doug's line of questioning - what do YOU want to do?

Greetings, First of all thank you for your reply! Specifically, when I say change gears I mean begin producing documentaries and feature type projects. I have supported myself for the past several decades producing commercial work. Cheers, Rip
Hey, Rip Noel! You are certainly in the right place to find endless opportunities. Do you have a specific genre/style that interests you? People are always after producers. There's loglines galore in the logline section for you to see if anything piques your interest.

Hi Dan, I am wide open to ANY good story! I am an avid reader and devour 30 to 40 books every year. One of my favorite films his death at a funeral… So comedies are definitely something I enjoy if they're done well. Are you familiar with this film? BTW, thank you for reaching out. I read RB's book and that's how I ended up here on 32. By the way I found he is very easily reached and eager to answer any question he can he seems like a really good guy. Cheers, Rip
Hey Rip, I am. I like both the British and American one, but as a Brit the British comedy takes the lead for me. It looks as though you've got the technical/artistic skills etc. Now you can start reaching out to fellow creatives! Check the lounges, browse the loglines, post if you're after certain parts for collaboration etc. Enjoy yourself and I hope you find some cool projects to bring to the big screen!
HI Rip Noel I was just thinking this morning if I wanted to try and get a team together to create like a credit reel/short film. I'm not sure if that's something you're looking for, but just thought I would mention it. I'm a screenwriter, so I'd be up for a collaboration to give everyone good exposure/credit. I write comedy, drama/suspense/adventure usually with a kick ass female protagonist.
Hi Noel, Thank you for reaching out! I too love great comedy. One of my favorites is "Death at a Funeral"... have you seen it? I see that you are a sailor. I too have been bitten with the sailing bug and can Captain up to 100 tons. I used to keep a small live aboard over on Hilton Head Island South Carolina but sold it years ago when I was starting to build my horse farm. I still miss that boat but do bareboat charter as often as possible.
Basically, I'm trying to feel my way around here on Stage 32 but I am up for just about anything. I look forward to hearing more about your idea. Cheers and thanks for reaching out!
Welcome to Stage 32 Rip! Huzzah to good times and great stories!
Thank you Cherelynn, I'll second that! I've spent my entire life making images and I absolutely love a great story. Seems like I may have ended up in the right place here. Again, thank you for your kindness it's much appreciated. Cheers.
