Hi! My name is Theo and I am an 11 year old actor from Pennsylvania (don't worry about interacting though, my mom is in charge of all of my sites). I started acting when I was 8 and have done feature films, short films, TV, commercials, web-based media, and modeling for print. I love acting, especially in fierce dramatic roles. Please visit my imdb and Facebook pages as well!

Hi there! My name is Amy Suto and I'm the creator of the USC student web series Antidote 15, a short-form thriller about a theater major who is poisoned and has 15 hours to find the antidote. As of right now I'm looking to expand our team for the project moving into season two, and I'm looking for producers to help with the production and marketing of the series. Please message me or email me if you're interested in helping out and being a part of the Antidote 15 family!

Well its back to introduce yourself or in my case reintroduce yourself ! RB has created such a great family at Stage 32 and if your new then you will love it. I have had great support from Stage 32 members. After a year in development on January 1 we launched First Rites Films which is an 'incubator/portal' for new and developing filmmakers to share and show their work - features ,shorts.music videos,student films. Its ticking along nicely and we have uncovered some great product. In todays world in some ways it has never been easier for filmmakers to realise their dreams in a cost affective digital way and yet and in others ways it seems to me is that it is as hard as pre digital. My speciality for 30 years has been distribution and I think we are currently in a state of 'what the' ??? Studios seem only interested in tent pole comic book CGI blockbusters that are about as memorable as the last Big Mac you ate , the DVD business is in the toilet and heading further south every day, TV is in a state of flux and SVOD is growing nicely but has not caught up with the decline in DVD revenues. Now it would be easy for us all to just take to our beds and pull the covers over our heads ! BUT through all this maelstrom of change I do believe that exciting and innovative stories will always find a way to rise to the top and find their rightful place. New filmmakers will continue to break through all the noise and clutter of our crazy digital world and emerge as the new stars of tomorrow. The old adage of 'no one knows anything' continues to ring true in our industry. Sites like Stage 32 help us all to have our peers support and share. Enjoy the weekend . Milt www.firstritesfilms.com

Here is a short, experimental comedy I made called SO SORRY. It's about a young, neurotic man who nearly drives himself insane while rehearsing what he's going to say to a family of mourners at a wake. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fMjdAGQIOA

I am Wellington, New Zealand based filmmaker. I have been a member of Stage 32 for some time, but I continually struggle with my ambivalence about spending time on social networking rather than getting on with the job of making films. But as I am realising, the two are becoming increasingly interconnected, distribution in particular, ie. finding your audience. It's not all hobbits and dragons in Wellington. I am among a group of filmmakers who are telling contemporary, character-based stories with great roles for women. All our films pass the Bechdel test with flying colours! Our latest feature, HOOK, LINE & SINKER is currently screening (for free) in the viewster on-line festival - http://www.viewster.com/festival-details/1251-17126-000 - the 10 finalists being judged by the fantastic Ted Hope, indie producer and visionary. I'd love you to vote for HOOK, LINE & SINKER. Every film is also an insight into its maker. What better introduction?!

Hi everyone I'd like to share the trailer for a documentary I've been DOPing, please feel free to like, comment, rate and share this to spread the word. I've been passionately working on this between paid work on and off for a year, sometimes even having to decline paid work. The final film is looking to be released in 2-3 months so keep posted. We shot it using several DSLR's, gopro 3's and the BMCC for the interviews and cut aways. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=MPfXBRVUoTc just now Like

A few years ago I made a feature length film titled, 'Whatever Makes You Happy'. I did the fest circuit, got into a few, won an award or two, and have been working with my distributor to get the film out there as much as I can. Last month my distributor told me that he is working to try and get my film into netflix. Which I don't need to tell you all would be a great feather in the cap for my film, myself, and all of my hard working cast and crew. But I need help from as many people as I can to get to make this happen. Right now, the film is in netflix's library, but is not active. Which it has been explained to me means that they have the film and are still deciding if they want to pick it up and make it available for their customers. What would help this go my way, is if as many people as possible go to their netflix accounts and request the movie become available. If you have a DVD by mail account, its a very simple process- just do a search for the movie title 'Whatever Makes You Happy', and when it comes up save it to your DVD queue. Done. And thank you. If you have a streaming only account, though, it is a little more involved- you have to contact customer service by phone or online chat directly and specifically ask for the film. That's a little more involved, surely, but while there you can also request other film or shows you'd like them to get. When I did it myself I also put in a request for Polanski's first English language film 'Cul-de-sac'. Great film- I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. I don't know how probable this is of happening, whether my film has any realistic shot of getting onto netflix, and I doubt there is any chance of a big payday coming my way even if it does. While netflix does spend $2 billion plus a year on licensing fees for all their content, once you take into account that Disney alone gets $400 million of that, never mind what Sony, Viacom, Time Warner, etc. get for their content, its unlikely something like my lil' old film would get more than the cost of postage if they take it on. But again, its a feather in the cap thing. for everyone involved. A welcome bit of validation for all our hard work. You can check out the film, learn more about it and the people involved, and even find links to watch it on other platforms before deciding if its netflix worthy, by visiting the film official website at: www.wmyh-film.com Any help you all could give would be most appreciated.
