Let’s Connect

Hi everyone,

I’m a director and producer based in Los Angeles, and I’d love to connect with fellow creatives here in LA. I’m always interested in meeting filmmakers, actors, writers, and other industry professionals who are passionate about storytelling and building meaningful projects.

If you’re in Los Angeles and open to networking, collaborating, or just having a creative conversation - I’d be very happy to connect. Looking forward to meeting more of you here!

Hi, Elizabeth Telbizova. Hope you're doing great! I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Filmmaking/Directing Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're introducing yourself and the ways to connect with other members in the discipline Lounges (Filmmaking/Directing Lounge, Producing Lounge, Screenwriting Lounge, etc.) are making helpful/educational posts and commenting on other people’s posts. Let me know if you have any questions.

Stage 32's February Community Open House is the 25th. It's a free live event, and it'll help you make connections. www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32s-february-2026-community-ope...

Thank you

You're welcome, Elizabeth Telbizova. Stage 32 has free in-person Meetups that are great for networking (www.stage32.com/meetups). If you don't see a Meetup in your area, keep an eye on that page for new Meetups. And you're welcome to start your own Meetup.

Elizabeth Telbizova Welcome to Stage 32! I'm sure you'll meet lots of Angelinos, I did live there some time, and go back and forth now from Texas to there, like so many now.

Though a Chicago/based producer, I’d love to connect!

Hi Elizabeth Telbizova, welcome! I’m Ashley, Head of Community here at Stage 32. I love that you’re focused on meaningful collaboration. The right creative conversations can change the trajectory of a project, especially in a city like Los Angeles where so much momentum is built through relationships.

Given your focus, I’d strongly encourage regular activity in both the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) and the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing). Those are strong spaces to engage in deeper conversations about development, packaging, budgets, and collaboration. The more consistently you contribute and share insight, the more visibility you build with serious creatives.

If you’re looking to expand your network beyond organic connections, the Writer’s Room can also be a valuable resource. It offers direct access to working writers, producers, and executives through open assignments and live Zoom sessions. It’s a great place to discover strong material and talent. You can explore a free month here if you’d like:

And when you’re ready to explore more curated introductions or targeted development opportunities, our Success Team can help connect you with the right writers, producers, or executives aligned with your goals. You can reach them at Success@Stage32.com.

Really glad you’re here, Elizabeth. I hope you make some powerful connections both online and off.
