Jonathan J Wimbush's Lounge Discussions

I've been a member for quite a while. I love connecting with people, both here virtually and in person (esp collaborating on projects!). I'm a photographer (25 years' experience), cinematographer, editor, writer (magazines, technical writing and reviews, not screenplays) and consultant. Let's connect and get some very creative stuff done!

hey there fellow filmmakers. I'm a S Florida based director and screenwriter. love to connect with like minded (i.e. film obsessed and screenwriting obsessed and cinema obsessed) film folk. and for my shameless plug: here's a recent review of one of my films. cheers http://cinearchive.org/post/80114677544/weve-managed-to-come-across-an-i...

I am a multi-published author of futuristic crime thrillers and dark science fiction as well as other genre' including--believe it or not--an historical western! I also have a background in radio (on-air talent) and the music industry. Preparing to adapt one of my books into a screenplay the end of this year. I live in Southern California--where else? Patti

Hello everyone! I'm pretty new to this site, I joined about 36 hours ago, and I'm already extremely pleased with the networking opportunities and quick responses from everyone I've contacted. This really is a great tool for artists to come together and collaborate! I wanted to tell you all a bit about myself. I live in the Mid-West bouncing between my place in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin and Melrose Park, Illinois. In doing so, I've worked on television, film, theater, and commercials, and am thinking about modeling if the opportunity presents itself. I love doing voice-over work but haven't done too much lately. I have been in the industry for 15 years now, working primarily with Christian theater companies, films, and a webseries which is underway. I have held many odd jobs during this time, and am pretty much a jack of all trades, so, it comes in handy when getting into character. I've worked as a technical writer and logistics head for Rockwell Automation, I've worked in Medical Research Logistics and Shipping, I've been a Barista at Starbucks, I've been a dry cleaner, I've owned a home remodeling business, a Videography business, I've been a bartender, I've worked in Marketing research, I've worked Hazmat, I've taught Kung-Fu to a highschool gym class for a few semesters, I have been a Lumberjack, literally cutting down and splitting trees (I know.. only in Wisconsin, Right?) and I've worked in Metal scrapping, was a Guitar Luthier, was in a Guns N' Roses tribute band as the lead singer (Axel) and have done dinner theater, Comedy Sportz, not to mention being a self taught mechanic and car enthusiast. I've done a lot in my time in and outside of our industry and the experience lends itself nicely to what we do. That said, I have played a doctor a few times, I've also played a bum, an alcoholic, a time traveler, an angel, Apostle John, a murderer, a marine, a foul mouthed boyfriend who spontaneously combusted, and Fitzwilliam Darcey in "Pride and Prejudice." All this to say, I can do character development, as well as method. I'd love to continue building relationships here, so feel free to hit me up if you have any questions or might be interested in using me for an upcoming project! Cheers!

Here is a special Update film I made for Introduction Purposes... Have a Great Journey... http://youtu.be/ZNmwIcOpxAw

Hello, I've just joined and looking forward to making connections. I've been a screenwriter for the last 16 years, and my feature film (as Screenwriter) 'Day for the Flowers' was released in the UK at the end of last year. It's still in Independent Cinemas around the UK and is going to be on as part of the Script to Screen breakfast club next Sunday in Vue Piccadilly so I'm looking forward to being grilled on what actually happened, from Script to Screen! The film went to the Mill Valley Film Festival and Havana Film Festival New York, among others. Great audiences there! I especially loved the Mill Valley Festival and New York festivals and can't wait to make another film and get back there! Day of the Flowers was shot Glasgow and Cuba(where I've been going since '97). Cuba has also inspired the project I'm working on now. It's a bit of a change for me but writing can be a bit lonely at times and I wanted to do something different. The Cuban Way is a feature documentary that I've co written and also directed over the last two years. I've loved been out there working with my all Cuban team with the fantastic characters we found. The link address is below if you're interested in knowing more. I'm interested in how you're all finding the current climate. It seems here it is increasingly difficult to get funding and exposure for Independent films, you have to be very determined to get something done, and then when it is finished, to get it seen, unless it's a big block buster. That's why I think connections like this can really make a difference and we can hopefully change the climate in our support of each other. Have a great Sunday. I am having a little fundraiser this afternoon, Mojitos, music, and showing The Cuban Way promo, so if anybody wants to pop by, let me know! http://thecubanway.co.uk/

Hi all! I am an actor currently touring Germany as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet! I'm relatively new to stage 32 and looking forward to making some good connections here that can be beneficial for both parties! Kev

Hello everyone!! Currently I am just getting into the world of acting. I've worked as an extra this passed week and LOVED it. I have experience in theatre and stage plays, and I've been singing since I was a kid, but I want to act. My ultimate dream is to be on Broadway as well as the big screen in a feature film alongside some of my favorite actors and actresses. I also have some ideas for screenplays and I'm going to finish my undergraduate career soon with a degree in Cinema and Cultural Studies so I can be on my way to becoming a screenwriter and filmmaker. I'm incredibly creative and I come up with so many ideas it's hard to keep track of all of them! I'm super excited to be on Stage 32, and I look forward to collaborating with some great creative minds here as well. Thanks!
