My plan is to win a contest, but I don't have ANY money for traveling to LA. I don't even own a car. If I win meetings with industry pros, can I do them by Zoom? Is it possible to launch a career remotely? Once I sell a script for 100K then I'll be able to swing over, but until that point, I need to do this remotely. Is that possible?

Hi, Scott Evans. Welcome to the community. I suggest emailing contests@stage32.com about your first question if you're talking about a contest on Stage 32 (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/contests).
It's possible to launch a career remotely. I did. I live in North Carolina.
Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world. Producers, directors, executives, writers, managers, and more. www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...
Stage 32's next Community Open House is Dec 29th (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-s-december-community-open-ho...). It's free to attend, and it's an interactive event where you can ask questions. It'll also help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros. Even if you can’t make it to the Open House, sign up and you’ll get the recording in your Stage 32 Education Library when it’s available.

Thanks, Maurice Vaughan. I checked out your credits. Very impressive! Were you able to do all that from North Carolina?

You're welcome, Scott Evans. Thanks. Yeah, I did all that from North Carolina.
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”)
