Hi Everyone -
My name is Martin Reese. I've been a member of this platform since 2014. I write sci-fi, fantasy and horror. I've authored a children's storybook called MULOGO AND HIS QUINTUPLE OF TROUBLE. I've won a couple of screenwriting contests such as Stage 32's Micro-budget Horror Script Competition with the script THE EYE OF OWUO which is currently in development. Here is a blog about my experience in the early stages.( https://www.stage32.com/blog/Update-on-the-Development-of-the-Winning-Sc...)
I am currently working on a TV pilot called MAJK. I call it a Horror/Crime Noir. I am also working on producing a podcast based on the pilot. Our fearless lead Rich "RB" Botto always says you need to have an entrepreneurial mindset in this business. I take that to heart.
I am a Community Leader for both the Producing Lounge ( https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing) and the Screenwriters Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting).I invite you to check them out. There are great topics there and great conversations. I am also a member of The Writers' Room a great community to meet fellow writers and learn.
One of the folks in this industry I would really like to meet is Jordan Peele. He is living my dream life. He hosted The TWILIGHT ZONE; he adapted LOVECRAFT COUNTRY before I could; and he makes thought-provoking horror films that skirt sci-fi.

Welcome to Stage 32! (ha ha) Martin Reese if you and Jordan Peele collaborated on a film - what would it be?
Congrats on all of the success, Martin Reese. "...have an entrepreneurial mindset in this business." Exactly. Shout out to RB.
It would be cool to meet Jordan Peele. I'm looking forward to his movie "Nope."

Hi Martin! I also love Jordan Peele! I loved his comedic work but I really love what he's doing with horror. I've always been a fan but felt guilty about it because of all the misogyny & racism. Still not totally sure how I felt about Candyman, tho
