Hi Robert - I loved your shared story. Thanks, man. I was just speaking with someone today about people in families carrying that trauma with them. Even just hearing your brief experience on the rig, working hard, writing on your free time, then going to the film festival - truly hits a nerve with me. Heck that would even be a cool short film. Keep up the work - I want to see more and eventually, your stories on the screen.

Congrats on Fable House! Making your dreams come true in somewhere not as hectic - no small feat. I'll have to check out everyone's work on Ozark Sharks and The Parallax Theory. Cool you worked on Blue Ruin - tense taut movie.

Thank you for inviting this newcomer to your network! I'm anxious to gain insight into the business from your experience, talent, and connections!

Hey Paul, I'm excited to announce our new Stage 32 Lounge, a major upgrade to the previous Discussions area. Here are some of the highlights:

• Subscriptions - Subscribe to your favorite topics and stay up to date on the subjects that matter to you most.
• My Discussions - Never lose track of discussions you created or commented on.
• Better topics - We've completely reorganized the discussion topics to make it much easier to browse and post discussions.

Hey Paul, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Hi Ray, thanks for add. Road to Juarez - where can we see Road to Juarez? Great ensemble.

Hi Philip, Congratulations on the writing win (read your resume bio), landing a great agency and going to school - you're way ahead of the game..

Hi Patrick - I'll have to check out your producing, directing and acting! Awesome - thanks for the add.
