Hey Stage 32 family,
I’m Tommy A. Burnett — writer, director, and creator behind BLACK WALLSTREET: From Whence She Came and The Blackest Wallstreet Universe.
I wanted to share a quick introduction and a new milestone. I was invited to do a radio interview on 96 KIX FM with host Kimberley Kaye to talk about the development of my feature screenplay and the larger creative universe behind it.
We’ll be discussing:
Adapting the novel into a screenplay
Writing truth-based historical drama
Building a modern story universe around legacy
Why this story matters today
I’m here to connect with other writers and filmmakers working on culturally rich, character-driven, or historical projects. Always open to conversations and collaboration.
For anyone curious about the work, here are the project links:

Maurice Vaughan “A character-driven historical drama set in 1921 Tulsa.
It centers on a young woman whose intuition becomes the lens through which we experience the rise, brilliance, and heartbreak of Black Wall Street.
More than a massacre story — it’s a story about resilience, legacy, and the spirit that still lives today.”

Richard "RB" Botto “Honored to be here, RB. I’m building out a full historical-fiction + metaphysical universe rooted in Black Wall Street, the glow of intuition, and generational storytelling. Grateful for the community.”

That sounds incredible, Tommy Burnett! I'd definitely watch that movie!
You could post your script on your profile. Producers search profiles for projects. That and networking are how I sold four short scripts to a producer. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your script on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)
And reach out to the Success Team at success@stage32.com. Geoff and his team can help you connect with producers, executives, and more.
