Hi everyone! My name is Cassandra Slough, I joined a bit ago but haven't made proper time to introduce myself. I moved to NYC after college in 2021 to pursue my dreams of acting and screenwriting! I would love to use this time to network and meet great people who want to make films and friends.
I fell in love with acting early in high school and continued even after I took a gap year in between high school and college. I was a duel major in college for Cinema and Screen Studies and Theatre. Initially, I was told by both my advisors I should only pick one major because they're too difficult to pair and everyone drops out of one. One of my greatest accomplishments was completing both majors all while working early mornings, acting in several senior theses each year, participating in plays, being able to do my school work, and great grades all at the same time. I'm very proud of my hard work and will continue to persevere and work hard.
That being said I would love any advice or to make great connections to get the representation that I need to continue my hard work.
Lots of love to my fellow artists and hard workers <3

Great to meet you, Cassandra Slough. Congratulations on completing two majors! That's really impressive!
I started screenwriting in 12th grade. I kept writing after high school, then took some years off from screenwriting.
Here are some blogs about networking/making connections: www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41

Hey Cassandra Slough. Welcome! I am the Director of Global Education at Stage 32, but before that, I was a New Yorker in the entertainment field. I started as an actor but fell bass-ackwards into becoming an expert on the Business of Acting, which I have taught at NYU, the Actors Studio, many other institutions, and for many private clients. Please feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions on the Business of Show. I am always here as a free resource to you!

Welcome Cassandra. I was once a Production Coordinator on a short about a ghost named Cassandra. She wasn't a scary ghost, she was annoyingly helpful and precocious. Anyway, welcome aboard. I'd love to hear more about your exploits in NYC and how they relate to your screenwriting.
