Hey everyone! Just joined Stage32 a few days ago and absolutely love it. Kudos to RB, Amanda and the entire Stage32 team for an incredible platform!
I spent roughly 20 years in the music industry as an artist manager and a few years ago - largely thanks to the pandemic and the halting of live touring - I decided to make a pivot. During my job hunt and during a catch-up call with an old friend, he casually mentioned how he had wrote a pilot script for a series he created with another person. After reading the script I KNEW I needed to be a part of it. That was almost 2 years ago and things have developed immensely since then. We have a couple of significant casting attachments as well as (this series revolves around a very specific music genre) one of the most influential bands of that genre attached as well.
I am utterly enthralled with learning all the ins and outs of this world and the whole thing has been a blast thus far. Really wanting to expand my network here and soak up all the knowledge I can - as well as help in any way possible despite my lack of experience. Feel free to reach out and thanks again for this amazing platform!

Sam Sokolow hey Sam! Sure thing. It’s a dramedy (hour-long) coming of age show. Here’s the log line:
In the wake of his father’s death on 9/11, an impressionable new student arrives to Hackensack New Jersey only to discover the explosive “emo” music scene sweeping the nation’s youth, sparking new friendships and catapulting him into an uncharted world of self discovery and healing.
