Hi everyone, my name is Andrew Bee and I am an actor from Toronto, Canada. I have really only been online since 2013. The idea of networking with people I could not see was totally foreign to me, but as an actor I was told over and over to get online and sell myself.
For some reason, that never made sense to me until I discovered Richard Botto and Stage 32. His story made complete sense. He said over and over again in many interviews, that online success was about empathy, not yelling, "Look at me!" He spoke about developing relationships over a long period of time with people and set up a wonderful networking site specifically for creatives devoted to this idea.
So I learned from him, joined Stage 32 in 2014, and since then I've booked two roles here on this site, and written a Stage 32 blog. The most recent role I have booked here is with Lee Chavis, who is also a member here. He has written a great script called The Last Immortal and we have gone into pre-production with Shari Belafonte as rumoured director.
As challenging as it has been for me to network online, it is something I work at almost everyday, and I am yelling this: everything is possible here on Stage 32! Just be patient and do the work.
Here is a link to a short I did. It was a lot of fun.

Nice work, Andrew. I felt like you but like there are seversl ways to write a story, there are other reasons to network. I literally do not know many writers. Everyone I know is over my passion for screenwriting, even the writers (they view trying to write everyday as a myth). This site is my therapy. Also meeting lots of talented artist is a plus. Nice post.
That is excellent feedback, Vitaly Kozlov. Thank you.
That's why it is so good here, Myron DeBose. There is opportunity everywhere. Thanks for reading and commenting.
