I’ve just finished watching season 2 of Reacher, and loved the sharp, quick dialogue, the action sequences and a whole array of interesting and quirky characters.

Then today I read that the Reacher will expand with a new series on Neagley, played by Maria Sten.

Variety reported:

“As ‘Reacher’ continues...

During the Edinburgh TV Festival this year, there was a panel discussion about the Future of Television. It doesn’t make for easy viewing, but the fact that the British TV Industry is in a bit of a state, is no secret. The problem seems to be more to do with how the industry becomes a viable employe...

Epic Universe looks/sounds incredible, Sam Sokolow! I'll check it out if I go to Florida. I've never been.

I love rollercoasters! 64 rides on one roller-coaster on one day is my record!

I think one of the biggest reasons the movie didn't do well at the box office is they didn't cater to the game's fan base enough, Ashley Renee Smith. And the movie was competing against Deadpool & Wol...

Deadpool & Wolverine hit it with most of its jokes. Played to the fan base. Jokes were aimed at the thoughts fans have had over the years. The injokes worked, but didn't make the non-fans feel left ou...

Mike Childress my son said the same thing, Mike. Ritchson is the perfect Reacher. He was also at pains to point out that he didn’t think Tom Cruise wasn’t good enough as Reacher, but he’s just not rea...

Maurice Vaughan and season 3 is in development, so it would be good to reacquaint yourself with the story. All round, I had a blast watching this show.

Giovanna Silvestre Hi Giovanna, thank you for your comment. With traditional forms of advertising failing to hit the mark, for those new on Stage32, to the use of social media as a means of finding an...

Geoff Hall Absolutely! I get it—jumping into the social media world to build an audience can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out on platforms like Stage32. Let’s break it down into some friendly, easy-to-follow steps to help you find and engage your audience effectively.

1. Define Your Niche and Brand Identity

First up, think about what you really love. What topics, genres, or themes get you excited? This is key because it’ll help you attract people who share those same interests. Also, consider what makes your content special. What unique perspective do you bring to the table that others might not?

2. Conduct Audience Research

Next, take a little time to check out your competition. Look at other creators in your space—what kind of content do they share? How do they interact with their audience? You can learn a lot from their successes and missteps. And don’t forget to use social listening tools like Hootsuite or BuzzSumo to tap into trending conversations in your niche. Dive into those discussions to find potential audience members!

3. Optimize Your Profile

Now, let’s talk about your profile. Make sure your bio clearly explains who you are, what you do, and what value you provide. Using the right keywords can help people discover you more easily. And keep your visuals consistent! A cohesive color scheme and style can really make your profile stand out.

4. Create Engaging Content

When it comes to content, variety is your friend. Mix it up with videos, images, stories, and text posts to keep things interesting. And don’t shy away from sharing your personal journey—people love to see behind the scenes and hear your story. Authenticity builds trust!

5. Engage Actively with Your Audience

Engagement is key! Make sure to respond to comments and messages; it shows your audience you appreciate their interaction. Join groups or forums where your target audience hangs out, like Stage32 or relevant Facebook groups. Share insights and build relationships with others.

Giovanna Silvestre thank you Giovanna, this is great. I’ve not heard of social listening tools before. We did however use HootSuite to promote a short film I produced called My Name Is Sorrow (2012),...

Sam Sokolow I'm here for another Angry Birds movie. Not a video game, but I would also love to see a G-Force 2.

I am both scared and intrigued, Sam Sokolow. Lol! But as you said, I trust Margot's company with a project like this much more than others. After what she did with Barbie, she just may pull this off i...

Hahaha! That stamp should be used for way more than video games, Geoff Hall! I completely agree that we can't write off game adaptations. But here's a question, is there something to the fact that the...

Ashley Renee Smith sorry, yes, I was using film in the generic sense, not in a strictly cinema sense.

Sam Sokolow

I agree with you. Ashley Renee Smith - just like some biopics are better served as Limited Series than features, I do think video games are often just too big in terms of scope and potential story - "...

Ashley Renee Smith Ouch!
