New film writer - An Author, Cartoonist, and screenwriter as an autistic Canadian youth.

Hello! My name is Afraz Hameed and I am 18 years old, and my plan is to make new movies for writing scripts about genres, such as animation, musical, biography, and such as adaptations for books, articles, etc.

I suggest using a photo of yourself as your profile picture. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture."

I wanted to be a cartoonist as a kid. What's your favorite cartoon/one of your favorites?

Afraz Hameed

Well, I like drawing Hanna Barbara style pictures for comic strips.

Hi Afraz, welcome to Stage 32.

It’s great to see young writers and visual creators bringing both storytelling and illustration together. Your interest in animation, adaptations, and comic-style visuals is a strong foundation, especially if you’re exploring screenwriting and visual narrative at the same time.

Keep developing your voice, study story structure, and continue sharing your work. Stage 32 is a great place to learn, connect, and grow within the global film and creative community.

Wishing you success on your creative journey.

Cool, Afraz Hameed. Do you draw Scooby-Doo?

Afraz Hameed

It was The Jetsons and the video game, Cuphead as a style.

Maurice Vaughan

That's cool, Afraz Hameed. I watched The Jetsons growing up, and I've seen pictures of the Cuphead game. Are your drawings online?

Maurice Vaughan
