Hello everyone,
I am Ingrid, a marketing writer, literary translator, indie game maker, and aspiring screenwriter from Ukraine. What happened in my country in 2022 gave me a story I really want to tell: a story blending gritty war reality with a hope-giving supernatural twist. I have my pilot ready, and now I'm working on my pitch bible so I can start approaching producers.
I only joined Stage 32 a few weeks ago and haven't yet figured out how things work here, but I jumped at this Introductory Lounge opportunity to meet and chat with amazing people!
I'd like to ask my fellow screenwriters who have landed representation: how did you do that? Via cold emails, networking, or something else entirely?

I had a manager before. I landed him by networking and having a strong portfolio of scripts.
Here are two great blogs for up-and-coming screenwriters:

Wow Ingrid Wolf - If you can back up your own bio with some great writing, etc... I imagine it's a matter getting yourself out there. Strike while the iron is hot :-)

Ingrid Wolf I've been working with a Ukranian theatre company for a few years now from Kyev. They are doing amazing work. Im happy to connect you with them if you would like (if you dont already know of them- ProEnglish Theatre Co) Also I am putting together a documentary which involves the company and how we "create art like our lives depend on it"

Thank you Matthew Kelcourse Your bio says your writing is rooted in current geopolitical issues - we seem to share this point! But I'm not sure if it refers to Gemini World or another of your scripts

Hi Ingrid Wolf - I relate to current geopolitics in all of my writings - some more subtle than others. My approach is to anchor with current, relatable issues in an entertaining way: climate change, power hungry despots, elitists, etc... Gemini World presents climate change/decline and despots vailed in an action/sci-fi; another looks at the post-apocalypse caused by someone who lost their reelection bid... so many stories, so little time :-)
