Missy Bell: Director in Asheville, North Carolina.

Thanks so much for posting. It's tough to build a network without some sort of guilt accompanying that building - I am striving to connect with like minded people in situations where we can benefit one another.

Hi, All!

I'm a director based in Asheville, NC and I'm working on building my network and getting more work - aren't we all?

I got my start in theatre as an actor, then moved to directing for the stage, which I did for 20 years before a film acting coach grabbed me and told me I should try film acting. I did the grind with an agent for a few years before trying my hand at making my own film and I was instantly hooked - for the first time in my life, I feel I've found my true calling.

Directing marries my visual brain and affinity for art with my love for coaching actors and my fondness for collaboration. I am passionate about telling stories and I can't wait to work with you!

My current film project is currently rendering and I'm biting my nails hoping this will be the final. The trailer is attached.

My current life consists of my directing work but also parenting two super intense kids, trying to have a semblance of a social life, getting outside as much as I can, and taking time for spiritual practice.

Can't wait to connect!

Hi Missy. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
