Brian Aldrich: Screenwriter, playwright and story analyst in Westwood Village, Los Angeles County, California.

Hello! Just wanted to make a post on here, saying that I am a small town midwestern from Iowa. I am moving out to LA in August with my brother. I am looking to meet people, make connections, and just learn more about what the life of LA will be like. I know I'm one of thousands, maybe millions, that move out to LA in hopes of a filmmaking career, but everyone is unique and I'd like to meet some of you! Here is a link to my demo reel as well.

Hello there. I am passionate about being on set and photographing the magic happening in all ways. I have experience as a cinematographer and camera op for a documentary film, a few interview series and web series, and I am looking to be more supportive of projects that are already happening as a stills and BTS photographer. I am wanting to make myself available for new projects as much as I am wanting to gain perspective in how I can network my way into getting more of that type of work. I welcome all insight offered. :) Thank you! Here's some of my portfolio www.alinekras.com

Greetings Everybody, My name is Dawn and I am a playwright, so I'm not sure I even belong here (lol) but I would never turn down an invitation, especially one that offers me the opportunity to be a part of a community such as Stage 32. It's taken me quite a long time to post this introduction because I'm an intensely private person and I'll tell you a short story to illustrate this- when my Mother was expecting me, she went to the doctor to get a sonogram and when the time came up for my Mother to find out the sex of her unborn child (me), the doctor, with some confusion said "Well, I can tell you this. He or she is going to be a very private person". Apparently, I'd had my legs closed the entire time, so the doctor could not tell what I was going to be. I am grateful for the invitation and I look forward to learning from and participating in this community. Also, thanks to RB and the Stage32 staff for creating a space for creative people like me who don't fit into the Facebook or LinkedIn mode.

I started as a writer with other skills to contribute to productions such as post--production supervision and editing. I have since become an expert in film business plans and have worked with several other writers to develop their works for production. I primarily identify as a producer with strong writing skills, although I also do/edit/create spreadsheets and budgets related to development, financing, budgets and production; and I have been known to direct staged readings. I'm especially good at being a writer's champion and writing coach; trying to figure out what level of production participation will work for the writer. Other areas of skill include graphic design, writing comic books, public speaking, panel moderation, and field/segment producer for interview/television content.

I've been writing for about 55 years or more. I have finally published "The Razing of the Id", which is an accelerated autobiography of parts of my life. One reviewer said that the chapters would make a television series. I don't know. I wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to write a screenplay. I think she was speaking of visiting haunted Indian cemeteries in rural Oklahoma and the adventures we had in the late 60's and early 70's. I was always too shy to try out for acting classes. However, I did take some speech courses to try to force the shyness out of me. Now that I'm old, I don't care so much what others think. So here I am, a complete novice. and am in awe of so much talent before me. That's it.

I'm concerned that one of my loglines may tell too much of the story. How much of the story should you tell up front? I want to entice people to read my script, but I fear I may be giving away the third act surprise? Has anyone had this kind of problem? What did you do?

Hey everyone, I'm Kirsten. Over the past few years, I've created about 6 shorts for competitions, worked on a Sundance film, and was a production designer for a SFFS fiscal sponsored film. Also, I am currently involved in a screenwriting competition where I am waiting to hear if I advance to the third and final round. Additionally, I'm an agency represented model and actor. I'm well rounded on all aspects of production and would love to get involved with more projects. Excited to get connected!

I am rewriting my first feature script and need a good proofreading service to check the grammar. Any suggestions?

Thanks for connecting!

Excellent piece by Charles McNulty about anger in the drama. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-ca-cm-mcnulty-anger-noteboo...

Hi everyone, I have been away from Stage 32 for a while but trying to reconnect. I started a YouTube Talk show in March Angel's Table, which seems to be gaining momentum. Additionally, I am producing a short film and writing a TV pilot. Very busy but having so much fun.

Going into another well deserved weekend, I'd like to say hello to all the newest members and older/re-activated members within this community. I'm a screenwriter who's engulphed in this way of life. I've been writing screenplays for nearly six years and I'm starting to gain some traction with my work. I've placed as a Finalist/Semi/Quarter with Competitions such as Script Pipeline, Nashville, etc. I'm working on multiple stories today and ALWAYS improving what I had once believed was golden. I'd love to find a Manager who is as hungry as I am! I'm a non-Ex Marine, father of three, husband to an amazing Bride and when I'm not writing or playing with my kids, I'm flying and volunteering with a 501(c)3. Anyhow, great to meet you all. I look forward to climbing the ranks with those who're actively moving towards their passions like me.

Hello everyone! I am a screenwriter, audio dramatist, and living history presenter. I began transitioning to new media a few years ago after 20 plus hears as a playwright, actor, and director, and Stage 32 seminars, groups, and special events like the Writer's Month last year have been invaluable to my progress. Since then I have contracted to write 2 screenplays and develop an audio drama series based on a character from one of my novels.

Besides the whole UCLA MFA thing, I've been writing, reading, and consulting on screenplays for years now. I've been involved with theater even longer including an L.A. based Readers Theater group. My digital feature POSTMODERN BLUES is currently in post-production. My recently completed horror comedy stage play MADHOUSE SHENANIGANS is available for the upcoming Halloween/October season. Nice to be here to read about what's happening in your lives and careers. :)

Hello there, My name is Anita. I am a screenwriter. I have been in the business for 14 years. I have a couple films that have won awards in film festivals. I was a child actor. I chose to transition from the front of the camera to behind it because my passion for storytelling outgrew my desire to portray story. Feels great to be in this site. I had no idea it existed until today. Its very exciting. I'm always on the look out for new ways to feed my social media addiction...HA! ;)
