Hi! I’m a filmmaker and screenwriter and I’m loving the diversity initiatives being made in Hollywood. Being Black and Queer, I’m excited for what the future holds. I’ve been writing scripts for almost 8 years, took a break due to illness and I am excited to launch some of my projects.
I’m currently trying to option my script, an horror anthology series, and Am in the process of editing my short romantic film.
Come say hi! I’m down to chat.
Hey, Regina Mckenny! 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
I'm with you - LOVE seeing the diversity and inclusion initiatives being made in Hollywood. Have you seen some of our recent blogs? Such great things for women (https://www.stage32.com/blog/How-I-Made-a-Short-Film-in-Eight-Languages-... and https://www.stage32.com/blog/Stage-32-%20-Female-Voices-Rock-Present-Cel...), the Seattle Black Film Festival (https://www.stage32.com/blog/Now-Showing-Seattle-Black-Film-Festival-Fil...), and fellowships for Diverse Screenwriters (https://www.stage32.com/blog/8-Upcoming-Fellowships-for-Diverse-Emerging...).
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!
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!
Regina Mckenny , Welcome to Stage 32 and the Writers' Room! Good luck with your projects! Looking forward to seeing you at the next Pitch Practice and hopefully other programs for members of the Writers' Room.
