Hello, Stage 32 community. My name's Rodney Burutsa and I'm building a faith-based entertainment company on a shoe-string budget. I'm starting my business as a web-based company with various entertainment divisions. The plan is to have 1 division finance the next division until we become an entertainment company. The name of my business is Heaven's Disciples, LLC. Our entertainment divisions will include a music label, book publishing, comic book publishing, filmmaking, and video game publishing. We also maintain an online company merchandise store and a clothing label. We have already released music in online retailers and music subscription services, such as iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play, Rhapsody, and Spotify. I am currently writing an apocalyptic novel, which I plan to branch out into a series with character spin-offs. I also want to turn the series into an entertainment franchise with comic books, graphic novels, films with soundtracks, video games, merchandise, and clothing. Thanks for taking the time to read about my vision. Feel free to add me as a connection.

Hi Rodney. Welcome to Stage 32. Glad to have you here. I know people don't tend to do keyword searches on the lounge, but I strongly recommend it. Here's a search for faith-based search: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/search?query=faith-based It will allow you to connect with other like minded filmmakers. I really hope it helps.
Thanks, Tomasz. I'm glad to see you here also. I've searched for 'Christian' when I first joined the site, but I haven't searched 'faith-based' yet. I'll try it now! Thanks for the suggestion.
There are actually a lot more results than I expected for 'faith-based.'

Glad I could help ;) We'll be upgrading the search functionality soon to make it easier to find relevant posts - but it's always good to come by every now and then and say what's on your mind - you never know who's going through the lounge at a given time.
I see that you are a C++ developer. I program in PHP/MySQL, JavaScript/AJAX, etc. It would be really great to see a member directory or member search functions that would allow me to network with people interested in a certain entertainment genre or category, such as faith-based.
