Hi fellow filmmakers and creatives!
My name is Lisa de Bye and I just joined Stage32!
I am a director, writer and a producer from The Netherlands and I would love to connect to other industry professionals from all over the world.
I founded my own film company, L.A.B. Film Productions: https://labfilmproductions.com
In 2020, I wrote and directed a short film named ‘ALEX’, which is about coping with grief.
Just wanted to say hello and hope to get to know you all!
All the best!

Hey, Lisa de Bye! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and welcome to the community! If you'd like to learn more about myself and the Stage32 Team, we have an intro blog: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Meet-the-Stage-32-Team
Wow, congrats on the film and the company! What's up next for you? Is there anyone you are hoping to meet in particular?
I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but I'd love for you to post in the Producing Lounge as well - maybe you can give us a little insight into what you've learned since launching your company!
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! 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! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time. Cheers!

Hi, Lisa! I hope you're loving Stage 32! I noticed your above comment about wanting to pitch ideas to producers... and thought you may enjoy our pitch tank practice we hold every week in our Writers' Room. It's a place to practice your pitch and receive really great feedback. Once a month, we have exec's in our Writers' Room and you also have the opportunity to pitch them there. The Room has so many other perks as well: table reads, learning about the craft and business, script coverage, writers' cafes and more! To try it out for a free month, please email Jason Mirch (j.mirch@stage32.com), the Director of Script Services!

Hello I'm Amanda. I'm from Mississippi .
Hi, there my name is Gary Jeanty. I am from Miami, Florida. I am a Titanic Historian. After a few years with this incredible idea, I finally put this fantastic romantic story together on the maiden voyage on the Titanic. I am looking to collaborate with people from all walks of life with unique skills and positions to help me with my project. I am open to what you can bring to the table.
The Ship of Dreams is an epic romantic story about a Haitian and French ex-convict named Joseph Pierre. He was sent to prison for drunk driving; as a result, his father dies, and his sister is bound in a wheelchair. Joseph, a Black & Haitian convicted ex-con, found God, forgiveness, and hope during his time in prison. Joseph is an example of going thru hurt, loss, discrimination in his time in prison. After being released early from prison. He forms a strong relationship with his sister Tabatha. She loves her big brother. Tabatha tells Joseph a revelation from God that she is going to walk again. Despite a relationship with his mother, Joseph endures hate, judgment, and ridicule from her.
In this beautiful faith-based film of love, hope, and forgiveness, Tabatha befriends a physical therapist, but the one who can help her resides in Belfast. However, against her mother's wishes, Tabatha makes a trip to Belfast, Ireland, with her brother Joseph. In this beautiful story of hope, a woman living most of her life in a wheelchair once believed she would never walk again and thinks she would never find true love. Edward Goldmann, a Jewish & one of the Top Doctors in Ireland, is smitten over Tabatha. Joseph, an over-protected brother, must now endure his trip back to Haiti without his sister as she stays in Ireland to further her recovery. Now Joseph, with God's help, has to return home to a mother who hasn't spoken to him in years because of his past sins. The Ship of Dream is a story that will have you experience through these characters hope, forgiveness, love, faith, and lots of emotions. The best thing about this all this will boil down on the maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic, the largest moving object ever built.

Hello Lisa, lovely to meet you and congratulations! Creating content is challenging enough under normal circumstances. Doing it during the insanity that was last year, is incredible! I am a writer, director and producer myself and currently developing a TV series. Would love to connect!
