Hey everyone I’ve been meaning to introduce myself for some time so here goes, Ok the weighty stuff- I’m an Oscar nominee for a live-action short and a member of the academy. I used to direct commercials for National and regional clients working out of NYC . Thru my experiences in the academy and touring festivals I worked in acquisitions for an international short film network i reviewed hundreds of films and participated in many selection committees for the network and I continue in that capacity annually for the Oscar’s each year. I’m looking foreword to connecting with folks here. I’m currently doing a page one rewrite for a feature with Idris Elba- I ve written previously for Whoopi Goldberg and Joseph Sikora and the late William Hurt.
I’m in post on another short I recently directed. And I’m looking foreword to meeting more peeps in the stage 32 community .

Great to meet you Kaliman! Congrats on your career so far. I’m curious how a page 1 rewrite is going for you - are the producers more involved in the creative process? And, hope post goes well for you on your short, what’s it about? Wishing you good luck on that.

Wow, you're rewriting a feature with Idris Elba, Kalman Apple!? And Whoopi Goldberg was one of my favorite actresses to watch growing up! My favorite Whoopi movies are "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit," "The Associate," and "Eddie."

Very impressive, Kalman! Glad to have you here and super jealous you're writing for Idris Elba. He just emanates coolness and it'd be awesome for him to act in something I wrote.
