Looks cool will be in touch in the future.

Hi Debbie,

For sure. It will be a pleasure.

Save the link for future reference and if you know someone that needs it.

Hey Florin, this is Karen from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Acting to Your Stage (for links and promotions), as it fits much better there. Let me know if you have any questions and all the best to you!

cool short :)

Cheers, Florin!

Amanda, believe it or not... we got him on set that day. I didn't know him, didn't audition, just got on the set and we start shooting. Great gems in the area with great potential.

Thank you Pat! What did you like about it? I would love some feedback :)

Hi Richard! Did I mention I love your platfom? Did I? :) LOVE IT!

Thank you, guys. It is my second project thanks to Stage32

Nice! Andrea, this is a great platform and I think I brought about 20 people on it. It's way better than Facebook and LinkedIn... in this industry. Welcome to the team.

Appreciate you sending those invites, Florin. This community has gone from 100 to 500,000 in 5 years just on the word of mouth of our members. As we like to say around here, the more creatives, the more opportunity!

My pleasure Richard! It's a beautiful simple that puts the cast and crew together really nice. That's the main reason I refer as many people to it. Simplifies everyone's life :) Thank you! AND: The seminars are really good!

Nothing like finding your tribe, Florin. Makes creating art exciting and fun.

Nice! Elvis is alive! :) How's that project coming along, Florin?

Slow and steady Tomasz. Right now we're scheduling interviews and we're doing a second screening so we can follow some stories. It will be exciting.

Hey man, that's how you win the race, right? :) It already sounds pretty exciting, and I think the timing is dead on. Looking forward to seeing the project to come to its fruition. If you need any help, don't forget that Stage 32 is full of talented and eager individuals that share the same passion. Cheers, T.

Hi Florin, nice to meet you.

Thank you Tomasz. My pleasure Noelle. Nice to meet you Bruce.

Welcome to the team Corrinne! It's a pleasure to work with you again!

Tony... that's a low...

The posters got me intrigued, I'm wondering what the significance of the tape measure is, it's an unusual design.

Debbie: the tape measure is a wooden ruler... that has an important role in the film. You'll get it once you'll watch it.

@Florin. Thanks for the update.

Film school is fun, but very expensive fun. I think you that first you need to study something else that you like , like business or engineering. Then go to film school like UCLA Extension where you can choose what classes you want to take for a year or two, but in the end you really don't need film school to be a filmmaker.

Feedback from a Youtube audience of wanna-bees, idiots and trolls is going to help you how?

Unfortunately, a lot of film schools rely on Youtube these days. Blogs, putting videos up on Youtube, and even doing searches online to get your lessons is how some students do it. Many instructors might as well be Youtube trolls. Make sure you choose your film school wisely. (It's not just film school, however. Education has been going down hill as politicians push more "information technology" into the classroom.) Don't ask "should I go to film school?", but "is this film school worth it?"

Frederik, the question is: why do you want to make films? Is it for a pleasant hobby? You don't need, or give a flying flip about, "harsh criticism" of your hobby, right? Or, is it to build a career? Well, you don't need a film school to land a job, or jobs, in the field - Steven Spielberg didn't attend one, and it does not seem to have much injured his film pursuits: http://www.lavideofilmmaker.com/filmmaking/the-big-question-for-all-aspi... . You ought to study something else for a degree, so you'll have some knowledge of another subject, and you will not only have maybe something marketable while you seek a film career, but you will have ideas for films to make, based upon your learning of other fields.

Speilburg started a media course, there weren't many proper film schools back then. I agree that many directors didn't go to film school (some are high school drop outs). However, many top editors went to good film schools. And there are technical courses in some countries (the UK has an NVQ for lighting.) I would rather hire a film school or theatre graduate than a physics graduate or a music graduate, based on previous experience. Someone who doesn't have the commitment to a four year degree in film, and needs a "fallback" makes me nervous. Do they have the commitment to stay with a film until its complete?

Hi Ryan, Welcome and wishes for a good outcome to you!

Welcome Ryan, What's your style? Can you send me a short script?

Happy you are aboard

Welcome!

Welcome!

Feeling giddy! Great poster.

Thank you Debbie!

congrats!

A big congrats!

Thanks very much Kathryn and Jorge.. First day of shooting was today with one especially emotional scene. Very challenging but the crew and my talented co-star made it a fun day.

Yes, we did have a blast today. Pictures soon.

Great pictures Florin. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Thank you Kathryn!

Congratulations!

I love to read this... Congratulations and good luck for your project!

Thanks Florin:-)

Congrats, man :).

Thanks Joe :-)

Thanks Emily :-)

I developed Somatic Memorization Technique (S.M.T.). It's not a gimmick, it's a proven technique that trains your right & left brain to work together to absorb the content faster. My students will memorize 4 - 6 pages of dialogue in about 30 minutes. But it's like going to the gym, you have to exercise your brain if you want results. See reviews here: http://www.amazon.com/Working-Actors-Guide-Memorize-S-M-T/dp/B004J4XUBE/...

Damn, some Anglo women in the Southern Hemisphere REALLY need to check their thirst which seems to be bordering on fetishization. No matter how you look, an actor still has to put in the work to master their craft especially if one wants a long-term career. Anyway, be easy and good luck on the path.

Experience the word! Relax! breathe...find a rhythm. Give birth to a word each time you read it, each time you say it. "Rose"...a rose is a rosé is a rosé... practice saying rose after you experience whatever, can one image even the fine details you are transmitting about a rose...the smell, the juice, the color, the romance...do not be timid with this transmission. Do that by emphasizing in your mouth and vocal track muscle memory the key words, the ones you make a choice about, even a bad choice helps; exaggerating big in your mouth, like you want somebody to read your lips, launch the words from there, make each one land on somebody or something. If you digest your words that way you won't go up on your words on stage because even that would be a new experience with the words. Embrace having it different each time. Embrace making mistakes. Be real. There are other things to do.

Little thing I was told when wanting to get up in the morning at a certain time. Say 7 o'clock. Bump your head seven times before going to sleep counting 1-7. You wake up at exactly that time. Now, I am not suggesting you bump your head while thinking of your lines, just had to say tis all.

I go outside with the script and YELL the lines. In this way they stick really fast. Don't ask me why... it just does. In this way I can just get on the set and in 10 minutes be able to shoot an entire scene. Tell me if it works for you too! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4701284/
