Introduce Yourself

Arthur Charpentier Hi , thank you for your comment. I just want to share that I’m originally from Morocco, but I’ve been living in the U.S. for the past five years. I have permanent residency and I’m currently studying Film at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to gain more knowledge and hands-on experience in the industry.

Back home in Morocco, it can be difficult for emerging talents to find support or opportunities, especially if you’re trying something new or different. That’s part of why I’m working hard here to learn and grow, and hopefully one day represent my country proudly as a screenwriter.

If I get the chance to work in the film or TV industry, it would be a true honor to share stories that reflect both my background and creative vision.

Thanks again for your insight and encouragement

I am definitely no expert. However, I do know that the digital world we live in makes it far easier to connect with people and with businesses. Think about the fact that you are in Morocco and I am an American living in Germany. And Arthur lives in Russia. We are all able to reach out around the world to make contacts. I am primarily a songwriter, though I started writing TV shows and films as well. I am able to contact music agencies anywhere. You, I believe, are able to do the same. I was in a Stage 32 webinar the other day. The speaker was in Monaco. The host was in the USA and I was listening in from a small farm in Germany. I am sure there were people of other nations also taking part. All I can say, keep pushing your dreams forward. Best of luck in everything.

Wyman Brent Thank you so much for the encouragement and perspective it really means a lot. You're absolutely right: the world has gotten smaller in a good way. It's amazing how we can all connect across borders and share our creative journeys, whether from Morocco, Germany, Russia, or the U.S.

I'm inspired by how you've expanded from songwriting into writing for TV and film. That kind of creative versatility reminds me that there's always room to grow and evolve. I’ll definitely keep pushing forward and staying connected to this global creative community.

Wishing you the best in your projects too and thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts. Let’s all keep going!

Hi Elisabeth,

Welcome to Stage 32! It's fantastic to see filmmakers from Namibia joining the community. Your country is indeed beautiful, and I'm sure it inspires incredible stories.

I'm Ronith. As a film composer and music producer (currently studying Film & Media Scoring at Berklee College of Music), my passion lies in crafting original scores that explore emotive and psychological themes, helping to bring a filmmaker's vision fully to life.

Your feature film concepts and TV series sound very intriguing. I'm always looking to connect with visionary filmmakers and learn about the narratives they're bringing to the screen.

I'd love to connect here on Stage 32, and you can hear some of my work at https://rronith.bandzoogle.com.

Hi Maurice,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for sharing those helpful links. I really appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction. I’ve already started checking out the Open House recording, and it’s a goldmine for someone like me looking to grow and connect with like-minded creatives. I’m excited to dive deeper into Stage 32 and hopefully cross paths again soon.

Thanks again for the support!

Warm regards,

You're welcome, Donnah Khaemba. What genre(s) is your short script?

Thanks for asking.Shadows of Justice is a political-legal thriller with mystery and psychological drama woven in. It centers on a gifted law student uncovering the dark truth behind her father’s murder while navigating dangerous political secrets. It has a tone similar to Scandal or How to Get Away with Murder, but with a fresh and grounded perspective. I’d love to share more if you’re interested.

You're welcome, Donnah Khaemba. Shadows of Justice sounds interesting! Keep us posted on your script.

Thank you so much.That truly means a lot. I’ll definitely keep you posted as the project unfolds,excited for what’s ahead!

And you could post your script on your profile. That's how I sold four short scripts to a producer (that and networking). 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 script on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Where can I find it

Hi Nebukadresia,

Thanks for adding!

That’s the link for my log line!

Cheers

Ela Ilham

Hey Mathias, did you find it??

Yes I did! Thank you

Hi Ilham Von Schöning ! I just read your script and really enjoyed it. It gives me "The Four Seasons" vibes. The comedy series with Steve Carell and Tina Fey. I can see Steve Carell playing Dave. I'm assuming this is a 30 minute comedy series because of the length of the script, but because how it ended, I wasn't quite sure. What do we have to look forward to in the next episode. Also what type of writing software are you using. I find WriterDuet to be very effective. It's subscription based, with a free option that will allow you to create three scripts. The formatting options are great and its very user friendly. I love the characters and the snarky dialogue. The overall message and feel of the story is authentic and relatable. Have you thought about maybe adding a teaser? Maybe Steve waking up from a wild night. Just a thought. Either way its a great story. Best wishes to you!

Maurice Vaughan (Thanks for your hello) A how are you to you as well. Ready!

Awesome and welcome.

You're welcome, Kenneth Adrian Ellis. I'm doing great. Thanks. Staying busy with writing and things. It's going to be a busy summer too.

Teacher tip: use e.g. when referring to an egg ample! :) I. e. is id eat, Latin for “that is” e.g. No one likes a know-it-all (i.e) an English teacher. :p Have a great week!

Sean T. Clark Sorry that (i.e. / e.g.) stresses you (or anyone else). (Tip) I never have to take the words people say to my heart; zero requirements concerning that. I want you to have an amazing week as well (too).

That is really nice

Williams Clack thank you so much

It will be really nice, bringing your idea and life story into a screenplay

Williams Clack thank you so much dear

You are really welcome
