Hi! I'm a 17 y/o who is just trying to get into the industry. I have tried many times and have been shot down...many times. But I'm still trying. I love to write and always have. The point where you can create life with words is just incredible. It's inspiring how the industry works, but it is also terrifying. But terrifying in a good way? I don't know. I am so excited to have started Stage 32 and what adventures it'll bring. If you ever want to chat and create or throwback ideas, I would love to chat! Can't wait to get started and meet all these incredible people!

Welcome Paxton, it's nice to meet you! The community here is supportive and diverse! Be sure to check out the Screenwriting Lounge. https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting I'm glad you have a positive attitude, that will take you far!
Paxton, I wish I could explain to you how young are you and I know that you are really impatient to work. Just be patient and wait to get your chance opened someday soon. In the meantime you must be very active in the business and learn, learn and learn (steal the knowledge anywhere you can). By your 23-25.th B-day You'll surely be waaaay ahead from this point where you are. I had so much luck with my first job, because I got it in the last year of my Cinematography classes in the best College in this part of the world (just a Prague's school of film is better than Faculty of Drama Arts in Belgrade / Serbia
Just be patient and steal your knowledge anywhere you can! Your chance will come to you when you least expect it... or when something above us decide that your time has come to shine

Welcome to the community, Paxton Williams. I actually named a character in one of my scripts Paxton.

Welcome, Paxton! I love writing too and have written poetry for close to two decades online and before that in creative writing classes in school. While I have been songwriting with a friend since 2017, my friend and I haven't made a lot of progress aside from recording a few demos. Everything in this industry takes time, so just work on your writing and be patient.

Let those "No" responses drive you, Paxton Williams "No" stands for "Next Opportunity" Be patient and keep at it. We all had to learn a lot along the way. It's a weird business for sure. Are you sure you wouldn't rather do something easier like Sky Dive Instructor? ;)

Welcome to the Stage 32 Community, Paxton Williams. Rejection is an unfortunate part of the process. Just don't stop trying. The best advice I can give you is to keep putting yourself out there, be patient, and never stop learning. =)
