Greeting!
My name is Charmane Wedderburn and I'm a screenwriter.
My favorite screenplay that I've written is a romantic Comedy called "Caribbean Cougars." It follows the story of a couples who have been together for a long time, but their relationship takes an unexpected turn when she realize he is cheating on her.
The script was challenging to write because it had to capture both the comedic and dramatic elements of the story. I enjoyed writing this screenplay because it allowed me to explore different ways of expressing emotions through dialogue and action.
Lets connect and Collaborate to create change

Hi, Charmane Wedderburn. Caribbean Cougars is a catchy title! If I was a producer and I was scrolling on Stage 32, I'd definitely stop and read more about your script.

Have you thought about using Stage 32’s Pitch Sessions, Charmane Wedderburn (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions)? They helped me get better at written pitches. And the main purpose of the Pitch Sessions is to get feedback to improve your pitch, but sometimes the executives, managers, etc. will request scripts, sign writers, etc. (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories). You can do live Pitch Sessions too.
Stage 32 also has Pitch Practices in the Writers' Room. Pitch Practice is every Thursday night at 5:30 P.M. PST/8:30 P.M. EST. You can sit in and listen to members practice their projects and give them feedback. You can pitch your project too, but you have to sign up. The hosts, Noel Thompson and John Mezes, take names during Pitch Practice for people to pitch the following week. You have to sit in and listen at the practice one or two times before you can pitch.
If you’re not a Writers’ Room member yet, you can sign up for your first month free here: www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip

Hello Charmane Wedderburn, welcome to stage 32! I would love to get connected. I'm an audio engineer, back in November stage 32 had an entire month dedicated to screenwriting. I took part in the challenge and found a lot of supportive people and a new appreciation for screenwriters (was a definitely a challenge lol). Your screenplay sounds interesting, I definitely encourage you to connect with Maurice Vaughan . He offers a lot of guidances (helped me start with my first ever script back in November). Also, completely normal to be scared, I encourage you to keep going and do it scared. You got this!

Congratulations on Caribbean Cougars! I love the title because (and I can't believe I'm sharing this), my mother (divorced from my father for years) spent a lot of time in St. Kitts and started relationships with a couple guys much younger than herself. Kinda like How Stella Got her Groove Back, but it was Paula instead. Best of luck with the script!

Caribbean Cougars is a great title, Charmane Wedderburn - combining the dramatic and emotional aspects of a story like that with comedy is a challenge - awesome that you we're able to do that. Congratulations on finishing the script.
