First and foremost to connect with folks with the same interests. I'm a songwriter (3 minute stories), that fell into scriptwriting. I've had feedback on my scripts and interest, but financing has been a revolving door. Financers want talent attached and talent want financing attached. I'm looking for someone who has the capability to fund and or obtain funding for my projects. One of my scripts is a warm family friendly Christmas script called Snow Falls. Feel free to stop by my profile to learn more. The second script I have is one I wrote with my twin brother before he passed away. This is a love story between best friends, brothers and twins. It's based on our story growing up "twins" till his passing. You can also learn more on my profile or website doraymediaworks.com. My best and looking forward to making connections here on Stage 32.

Hi, Ray Fontenault. My condolences. Have you thought about going to a Stage 32 in-person Meetup? They're free and great for networking. You might meet financers, producers, directors, and more. If you don't see a Meetup in your area, you could start your own. www.stage32.com/meetups

You're welcome, Ray Fontenault. The script sounds interesting. Hope they like the script and request it!
Something I do to pitch my scripts is post pages in Stage 32's Your Stage Lounge, on Twitter/X, and on Instagram, like First Page Friday, Third Page Thursday, and Sneak Peek Sunday. I post loglines and script posters with the pages. I've gotten script requests. And sometimes I post short pitches (like two-word pitches and three-word pitches) on social media.

This is great! If you ever have need for a Wardrobe stylist or designer for your character looks I would love to help out.
