Hi everyone,
My name is Lauren and I'm a passionate storyteller. I'm here to learn as much as possible and grow in the industry. I would like to learn things such as - how to pick the producer for you, how to spot someone who's pretending to be someone they are not (fraudsters) and the next steps from winning screenplay awards to seeing those piles of paper move from my desk onto the silver screen.
Wishing everyone in this community luck - there's enough success out there for everyone! I hope all your wildest dreams come true!

Hi, Lauren Hackney. Hope you're having a great month!
Some ways I pick the right producer is research them and their work, get to know them to see who they are as a person, and listen to their vision for my script.
Here's a post with advice on how to spot someone who's fake:
My biggest tip is to network/build relationships on Stage 32 and other platforms. Networking is how I've had success on here, Twitter/X, etc. Here are some blogs on networking: www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41
And the Lounge posts, blogs, AMAs, and Education on Stage 32 will definitely help you learn as much as possible and grow in the industry.
