Caitlin Millay Krapf: Producer in Los Angeles, California.

Hi all. I'm helping friends practice for some upcoming television pitches (hour-long drama). My job is to play an exec and ask them hard-hitting questions. I obviously have some ideas, but since I haven't been in on too many pitches myself, I thought it would also be good to ask for advice. If you received any really hard hitting questions in a pitch that threw you for a loop (and could be generalized for another project), please let me know.

I'm teaching a series of Stage 32 Next Level Webinars: for Film and TV Producers 3/20 for Screenwriters 4/3 for Actors 5/21 for Crew 6/26 from From Afar 10/28 the Film Markets and Festivals 6/11/15 I'm happy to answer questions here as an ongoing forum for the series. Feel free to post questions you'd like me to address in the upcoming webinars - or that you didn't get to ask if you attended live or downloaded on demand.

Hey Caitlin, we recently added the ability for users to subscribe to Lounge topics. To get you started, we've automatically subscribed you to the production topic. You can see the latest posts in your subscribed topics by clicking the My Lounge subscriptions tab on your wall. You can easily add and update Lounge subscriptions by clicking Manage my subscriptions from the same page. Enjoy!

Hey Caitlin, 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 Caitlin, 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 Caitlin. I'm RB, co-founder and CEO of Stage 32. I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work and attracting attention to their projects. That's why we created Stage 32. Our members run the gamut from film students to award winners. The community is now 50,000+ members strong spanning 175+ countries. This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to help us spread the word through other social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. We also ask that you help strengthen the community by inviting at least 5 fellow creatives. Check out Invite friends to Stage 32 on the upper right side of your profile. Thanks for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. PS - Be sure to check us out on Facebook and follow us on Twitter at @Stage32online.
