Hi. Nice to meet you.
My name is David. In a perfect world, I would be a famous hip-hop star with an endorsement deal from Mcdonald’s who raps to samples of theme songs from 1970s children’s TV shows—only to be killed in a drive-by a West Coast gang of In-and-Out stans outside a McDonald's while eating a McFlurry. That would be legendary, or at least the premise of my latest screenplay, “Drive-Thru wRapper.”
That’s not true, yet in the six seconds since I thought of it, I’ve grown to like that idea and want to write it.
As a former Entertainment Correspondent and Movie Critic, I've had the privilege of interviewing over 1000 actors, filmmakers, politicians, and even a man who brought his pet goat to the world premiere of a popular movie. Now, I’m here to embark on a new journey as a screenwriter, focusing less on genres and more on unique ideas or, at the very least, stories about hip-hop stars who’ve been victims of the vicious Fast Food burger wars (Five Guys is better than In-and-Out - Don’t @ me).
Look, I'm a big fan of “Introduce Yourself Weekend.” I’m not just saying that - I'm truly passionate about the Stage 32 platform. It's been a game-changer for me, quietly putting me in a position to succeed. And it can do the same for you! There's a wealth of resources here and a community of supportive individuals eager to help you. If you’re a screenwriter, you can benefit from pitch sessions or watch and participate in “The Pitch Tank” and “Pitch Practice.” Don’t even think about it. Dive right in!

Hi David.
Nice to met you !
My best advice, leave LA immediately ! ha ha!
Grab the McFlurry for sure! (Smiles)
Yes, Stage 32 is a freer platform and a wealth of resources/ knowledge. Met some really talented people. One guy is an Entertainment Lawyer- with a great database of information (usually paid- and affordable).
Michele Maslin is an amazing sync music leader - tons of Syncs in her world !
Have an awesome weekend!

Kerry Kennard I love that! I wish I was in LA so I could leave! I'm in Massachusetts (I'm an honorary MASSHOLE), but was born and raised in Brooklyn. Yeah, this platform is great. I've been having lots of success pitching and meeting interesting people such as yourself. RB and his entire staff are legitimately on a mission to help creatives, and it's just great.
