Greetings fellow writers, my name is Dhanushanth. It means weapon of peace which kinda makes sense because they call me Effector. Who? I'm a British (Scots accredited) screenwriter trained primarily in Television/Neflixesque screenwriting. But you don't need a Post graduate degree to prove you're a highly affluent screenwriter. Just saying, rubbing it in. I'm developing an original teleplay of a neogenre that I seek interest and comissioning for by visionary directors/producers whoever swallows down the blue pill first. I wrote a Account Of An Englishman, a novel set to be published in Australia this fall or by the next. the latter is about the perils within societal history set in the British colonial era of South India and Highland Sri Lanka.

Hey, Effector Dhanushanth! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you! Cool name! Totally rubbing it in, but you're not wrong - although I still find it funny that I've taught several "bosses" of mine on set about things I've learned in film school that made their lives easier (and they didn't know because they didn't go). But writing is infinitely easier to do on your own and with your own initiative.
Ooo, Glasgow?! Would you be interested in participating in the "Paris, Je T'aime" challenge I posted in the Filmmakers Lounge? It's just a fun way to get to know people through their city (also, as an American "Ross", I'd love to see more pictures of where in Scotland I could film :-D ) :

I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely reach out on the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) for insight into characters, dialogue, and even when you want to generate interest in a virtual table read!
I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect!
Hello dear Suzanne, Tasha and dear, dear Karen. I really appreciate your welcoming me. Ooh excited, Karen can't wait to check (in and check) out the lounges. :D I'd certainly find the resources very, very useful. And I'd love to participate in Paris, Je T'aime. Will look into it shortly!
LOVE your name! All the best.
Aray and Lili. Delighted to be here in your midst : D What are you talking'bout, of course it's an awesome meaning, Aray is. Thank you for the complement. Back in the day parents were pretty naive about naming their child lol they just sought something catchy with no forethought whatsoever lol. The meaning of my name actually Dawned on me in my late teens. Dhanu was the Weapon (of mass destruction) in the Mahabharata epic, a saga of extraterrestrials on earth as told by a Human ascetic. Shanth is the Sanscrit word for "Peace". I like it too. Some friends call me Dhanu. Some, Shanth. Some Dhanushanth. As a matter of fact my name contains the name of a body part? It's kinda demeaning lol but what can you do, right? :D

Sorry Lilo I meant Lilo but all I got inadvertently was Lili because of the Late Autocorrect who I've killed many times for putting me in this position :D keeps coming back.
