I'm a WGA-nominated screenwriter and director (Warrior, Entourage), currently navigating the festival circuit with my new single-take thriller 86. I've been in the trenches a long time — studio and indie side — and I know how brutal and beautiful this path can be.
Excited to connect with anyone doing the real work. If I can help sharpen a logline, give quick feedback on a scene, or just offer a perspective from the other side of the fire — happy to be of service. We rise together.
Let’s build.

Hey Cliff, I’m Ashley, Head of Community here at Stage 32—thrilled to have you here in the community. Your journey and body of work are incredibly inspiring, and 86 sounds like a bold and ambitious project, single-take thrillers are no easy feat!
If you’re open to it, I’d love for you to pop into the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) or Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) and share a bit more about your experiences and journey, your insight could mean a lot to members who are navigating the early stages of their careers.
Also, we’re running our July Filmmakers Club this month (https://www.stage32.com/blog/july-filmmakers-club-week-4-lets-talk-about...), and this week’s focus is on pitching. If you’re around, your perspective on how to deliver a strong pitch, especially from someone who’s been on both sides, could be a real resource.
Grateful to have you here and looking forward to seeing more of your journey unfold!

Hey Ashley — thank you for the incredibly kind note. I truly appreciate it. Thrilled to be here. I’ve been quietly watching Stage 32 evolve for a while, and it’s inspiring to finally dive in.
I’ll definitely pop into the Lounges to share more about my journey with 86 and some of the wild pivots I’ve taken along the way — and I’d love to support others however I can.
Also, I’ve submitted an inquiry about possibly joining the consulting roster — I’d love to offer deep script and industry mentorship through the platform if that’s on the table. Appreciate the warm welcome.
