Hey y'all ◡̈
I'm Angela Mack, an aspiring screenwriter and filmmaker based in San Antonio, TX. God-willing, however, I will be relocating to the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas in a few months!
I grew up watching older classic movies with my parents and my love for cinema has only grown as I've gotten older. Some of my favorites include Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood, Ponyo, and Whisper of the Heart (love studio ghibli! lol).
In 2023, I had the privilege of beginning my film crew experience by working on a San Antonio local film called "Stitched" as a Production Assistant. It was a phenomenal experience so I continued to find work and help friends in whatever crew work I could find. Some of my experience includes being a PA, Set PA, 1st AD, and Set Designer.
Recently, I've been dabbling in screenwriting (I'm working on a feature length script right now!) and am looking to network and connect with fellow creatives and storytellers. ♡✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡♡˚

Kat Spencer I would say the long days and nights were my favorite experience. Being in a communal space with friends for 12+ hour shoots, and even some all-nighters, was so fun and I wouldn't trade it for anything!!

Maurice Vaughan My feature script can probably be classified as a comedic drama!

Hey Angela Mack - so very nice to meet you and welcome to Stage 32! I switched over from authoring books to writing screenplays and it was a fun journey. Also recently had an exec mention a work that would be great for Studio Ghibli which surprised me. But that's half of why we're here which is to learn. All the best in all you do!

I like comedic Dramas/Dramedies, Angela Mack. I haven't gotten the hang of writing them yet. How far are you with your script?

Hello Angela. Although I’ve been screenwriting, they’re not quite finished. I hope they’ll all become reality.

Maurice Vaughan Thanks! I'm aiming for it to be about 90 pages, so a 90 minute feature.

You're welcome, Angela Mack. 90 is great! That's what I aim for when I write scripts. You might already know this, but it's a great idea to get feedback on your script after you're finished writing it. Stage 32 has feedback services (www.stage32.com/scriptservices).
