Just wanted to introduce myself to the Stage 32 family. I thought it was time to network a little on the platform. So here we go... I am a quirky queer writer/director in the horror space. In my dream world I would be the child of Ryan Murphy and RuPaul.... Hey, it could still happen. Lol. In the meantime I would love to link up folks in the genre to see what you all are up to. I've posted my reel. It's not all horror but it's projects that paid the bills.

What a perfect description of who you are as writer! I want to read the stories the child of RuPaul and Ryan Murphy would write!

Aww, thanks everyone! I am currently living in LA. I have been a PA on several features, commercials and TV shows both on set and in office. I was also working as a production coordinator for Amazon's Imaging side of the company all while writing. I have worked at a film school as a manager, a camera and lighting teacher at a non profit organization, produced live events and created a movie trivia card game with my business partner. Oh gosh, what a mouth full!... My latest feature that I am writing and plan to direct is a narrative horror film that shines a light on how organized religion oppresses the authenticity of people who identify as LGBT. We'll see how that goes. Lol.

This is a great reel that shows compelling storytelling and chemistry, Deana Williams. You'll be able to find a lot of great conversations in the lounges, too, besides Sam's suggestion of hitting the education tab.

Welcome to the space, Deana. I enjoyed watching your reel and wish you success with the feature film! Placing your story in the horror genre feels spot on, given everything that's going on now.
