Greetings, all My name is Steve Janas and I just joined the Stage 32 community. I am the screenwriter of James Franco's feature The Long Home (yes, that's the infamous one), and my spec screenplay The Tolltaker was a semifinalist for the prestigious Nicholl Fellowships. I invite everyone to check out my page, drop me a line and chat. Good luck to everyone on here with your respective projects.
