"Writing a screenplay must look easy, since everybody in America seems to have one in the works. It's not easy at all; it's comparable to constructing a cuckoo clock blindfolded; it's like composing an elephantine, one-hundred-twenty-page haiku." -- Richard Rhodes - Comments welcome, fellow writers

VERY excited for this edition of On Stage with RB! Interested to hear what one of the producers, David Harris (from IFC!!) and writer David Paterson (writer of BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA) has to say about writing and producing. It's live, now, you can register for the February edition of On Stage With RB here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/543031573615588865

How many times have you been caught with your pants down when someone asked you for a "brutally honest feedback" on their screenplay and you gave it?

Anyone else feeling the crunch of the Canadian dollar when it comes to getting your pitch out there? I am willing to spend some cash on pitches or services but when everything costs more that 30% more it makes you think twice. Maybe someone knows of a Canadian service that has good results?

Would just like to introduce myself, My name is Tracey Roberts and I am a screenwriter. I hope to meet a lot of great people and learn a lot.

Hello out there! I am Leslie Thurston, an actor and writer. NO EXCUSES. NO REGRETS. My motto for 2016. I look forward to meeting and working with more great people in film and television.

Lately there have been a lot of people trying to put me down (noone on Stage32) about how I'm never gonna sell my screenplay. They just don't realize the work I've put into it though. I've even taken classes that NO QUESTION improved the screenplay tenfold, both here on Stage32 and I did one called the ProSeries (Once I have the money I'm thinking of doing the Masterclass next - For ProSeries "graduates", people who complete at least 80% of the assignments). ProSeries was actual writing lessons I was able to apply to my script and I don't regret taking the course at all since Version 7 that I came out with is a million times better than Version 3 - especially in the plot and characters. Once I had great characters the plot just...fell into place. Now as I said recently there have been a lot of people telling me it's silly to think I can sell but with all the time and work I've done there's no way I believe that. Everyone who HAS read my script at LEAST admits it's a great idea that I have. I'm just never gonna forget this fun fact - George Lucas was initially told Star Wars was a dumb idea and the script was rejected by Universal Studios and United Artists and even 20th Century fox at the start (though yes, they eventually embraced it). There are countless examples of this (see http://www.denofgeek.us/movies/22058/the-hit-films-hollywood-studios-did...) E.T. was another. So in short I won't stop until I actually sell "Mascot". I've made countless changes to plot and characters, and only the initial idea has remained intact. What's more every new version I know the movies going to be better now. Anyway I still work a standard 40-hour job and live in Portsmouth, RI not far from Boston or Providence (1 hour) or even New York (it's about 5 hours). At this point as I continue to write in my free time, I just really am trying the sell or market the screenplay now. I used to pitch on Stage32 pitchfests but money's gotten tighter. Still with my latest version complete, and I haven't pitched since early Version 5, I plan to get back to it soon! Like the title says - I've had dreams before but for some reason I started chasing this one over a year ago - And I haven't stopped because I feel like this is one I can make happen and what's more even if it doesn't (which I believe it will) I'm actually having fun doing it! As for the fact my profile says I'm a musician, I play in the Rhode Island Wind Ensemble. We're on Soundcloud and pretty well known in RI and nearby Massachusetts

My professional history includes director, producer, and writer for family entertainment in the motion picture and television industries: as a patented inventor, and now author of "Littluns: And The Book of Darkness," the "Mom's Choice Awards" Gold winner for 2009. My bio can be found at http://www.littluns.net/pages/about.html?osCsid=781f1bb5d1b5f7544379b463... A little about “Littluns.” For filmmakers, "Littluns: And the Book of Darkness” is a book - that is in some interesting ways like a movie - that's really a 411 page, color illustrated fantasy novel for readers who are looking to discover a very different reading experience - the best of both worlds in family entertainment. My work is guided to inspire and enlighten readers and filmmakers beyond what is to what can be and the infinite possibilities beyond. Imagine a novel that is a different kind of movie.

Just reintroducing myself to you. I'm a screenwriter, storyboard artist in the northwest part of the USA. A few months back one of my screenplays was a semifinalist along with a bunch of others in a competition. the name will remain unlisted. Anyway, my goal is to find a manager or someone that will take a chance and guide me through the maze known as Hollywood. If not, it's still fun writing and coming up with twisted ideas. So, what's going on in your life?

Hi stage32 fellow filmmakers. I am a VFX compositor who has worked in some of the biggest companies, like ILM or Weta (I'm working here now, from lovely Wellington). But my interest is in telling stories, and making them possible. VFX is a thrilling job but I guess many of you have noticed that the stories behind some (not all) of the latest greatest box office hits can be summarized in one word: "whatever". I'm here to tell a different kind of stories, tales that get deep and, why not, use VFX, but only when needed. I love the concept of the "untold story", like what happens to Spiderman's... neighbour. Right now I'm writing two feature films. One is science fiction with not very expensive VFX - most of it matte paintings. The other is a comedy-drama-family-musical with rap. I'm also writing the pilot for two series: one of them fantasy in the real world, the other a comedy sitcom for kids. I've also written, produced, directed and edited a few short films (in some I even act... oops). It takes a lot of energy to make projects alive, but it's so much fun too. Looking forward to connect with amazing people here. Jesus.

Hi, I'm Tilly Dunn from Ottawa, Canada. I became a happy member of Stage 32 last month. I've written the book Exit Stage Left, available on Amazon. www.tillydunn.com. xoxo Tilly.

Thanks to everyone for making Stage 32 such a wonderful and supportive place. I'm a screenwriter from Sydney Australia and it is so good to be able to connect with so many like minded people around the world.
