Hi, Gayatri Chincholkar. Welcome to the community. Here's a blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry professionals: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

And here's a blog for up-and-coming screenwriters I suggest checking out: www.stage32.com/blog/the-questions-up-and-coming-screenwriters-need-to-a...

Welcome, Gayatri!

It’s a joy to see creators like you step into this space not just with ideas, but with a heart that’s ready to shape entire worlds.

Let me offer you one piece of advice one that guided me when I stopped writing scripts and started writing legacies:

Don’t write to break into the industry.

Write to break open the human soul.

This path isn’t about getting picked it’s about becoming undeniable. The world doesn’t need another series. It needs a voice. Yours. So write as if the future depends on your words because sometimes, for someone, it will.

If your writing ever feels too big, too strange, too “different” for the market remember:

Masterpieces don’t fit. They redefine.

Can’t wait to see what you’ll bring. You’ve just arrived but something tells me you’ve been preparing for this your whole life.

Hey, Kushagra Sinha. Welcome to Stage 32. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Composing Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're introducing yourself. Let me know if you have any questions.

Here's a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

I suggest adding a profile picture. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you.

Hey, Lawrence Hodge. Hope you're doing great! Welcome to the Stage 32 community. Here's a blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

You could also post your projects on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your projects on your profile this way (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”): www.stage32.com/loglines

Thank you so much Maurice!

You're welcome, Lawrence Hodge. Here are some other ways to get your projects in front of industry professionals:

You could pitch to executives, managers, etc. through Stage 32's Pitch Sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions). The Pitch Sessions are mainly to get feedback on pitches, but members have gotten managers, signed shopping agreements, etc. through the sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).

You could enter a Stage 32 contest (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/contests). If you win a contest or place as a Finalist, Stage 32 will send your work to agents and literary managers who are seeking new talent as well as other industry pros. If you don't see contests that fit your projects, keep an eye on the Contest Page. Stage 32 will be adding more contests.

You could search for producers, managers, etc. with IMDbPro (https://pro.imdb.com/signup/index.html).

And you could search the Job Board for members who are looking for collaborators (www.stage32.com/find-jobs). The Job Board gets updated regularly.

Hi Lawrence Hodge! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here at Stage 32. Welcome! It’s fantastic to have you here with us! Your range of work sounds so rich and dynamic, and I love that you’re already thinking about building the right creative team around your projects.

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend getting active in the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) and the Animation Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/animation) — there are so many talented creatives there who would love to connect with you.

You can also reach out to our Success Team at Success@Stage32.com. They can help guide you toward resources, collaborators, and even pitching opportunities that fit your goals.

Really excited to see how your bold stories take shape here!

Hi Ashley,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome — I really appreciate it! I’m excited to be here and already feeling the creative energy flowing.

I’ll definitely dive into the Screenwriting and Animation Lounges — my current projects are at the stage where finding the right partners and collaborators is key. I’ll also reach out to the Success Team to learn more about pitching opportunities and next steps.

I’m looking forward to connecting with the Stage 32 community and building something bold together. Thanks again for the encouragement!

Best,

Lawrence Armando Hodge

Hi Dakota! Welcome! I'm new out here too. I would love to hear more about Daughter of the Wind. Maybe put a short description on your bio. I love stories with strong female protagonists.

Appreciated! I didn't know how much to put in my bio, but I will go ahead and add some details there.

Hi, Dakota Kyle. Welcome to the community. Here's a blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world (www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...).

Hi Dakota Kyle! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here at Stage 32. Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here and already thinking so deeply about the power of storytelling. “Daughter of the Wind” sounds like a beautiful project with such a meaningful purpose behind it.

One suggestion I would make is to consider uploading a real photo of yourself instead of a graphic. It can really help personalize your profile and make it easier for other creatives to connect with you and remember you.
