Hello again!

Hi Stage 32ers, I've been adapting a couple of my short plays to screenplays. In preproduction for one of my scripts and hope another will soon find a producer and director. Hope everyone is gearing up to create this year.

Feature Film, ONCE AGAIN

I was very happy to find out this morning that my material (script & package) was requested by Freshmaker Media. I made sure that I understood the background and needs of the executive and company I pitched to and was prepared to speak knowledgably and conversationally about all aspects of the story...

Received my eval from the Black List...

Hello all, I finished the last rewrite of my first completed screenplay a few weeks ago. After copyrighting and registering it with the Writer's Guild, I listed it on the Black List and paid for their evaluation. It took a little over 2 weeks. If you're a newbie, I'd recommend buying the evaluation...

Thanks for sharing. It’s an eye opener and proves that my guts feeling about TBL is correct that isn’t worth listing and paying there! Why didn’t you consider a free site such as Coverfly, in addition to Stage 32?

C. D-Broughton

I'm not trying to cause an issue, but I know a LOT of people who've said that the Black List is basically a waste of money!

Anyone reading this is free to research the topic more, and probably should b...

Oops, I've not used this site for a long while, so didn't realise I was resurrecting something! Sorry.

Kate Merywyn Hawkes

Hmm.interesting ..I have something there and you're right no reaction... but then the same with InkTip. Perhaps I need to work on being a better writer?

Sheila D. Boyd

I have used The Black List in the past. Their business model - unless things have changed since I was there - is based on the writers paying monthly to host their scripts and then paying for as many r...

Congratulations, well done David! I was immediately drawn to your post when I saw the violin picture! ;) I'm a classically trained violinist/actress myself! ;)

David C. Hëvvitt

Thanks Anna, I love the violin, in fact strings are the most expressive and fascinating section of the orchestra!

Gareth J. Rubery - Composer

Well done guys, good to see more jobs like this coming through for composers here. A great place to meet the perfect people for your projects. Nice job!

Tammy Wheeler

Congratulations! That is great.

Hi, I am a freelance writer from Missouri and an educator. I just had a YA novel published, which I am excited about, and I have also had some plays published. I also do (try to do?) some screenwriting. I am happy to be a part of Stage 32, and I hope to connect with several of you as I learn the nuances of the site.

David Levy

Desert island movies are just your personal picks. After pitching, it varies. Bad puns and corny jokes are at the root of my humor. Then again, it's the root of Jewish humor. I'm not David Levy for nothing! (rim shot to empty room)

Steven M. Cross

Well, David, I am a fan of bad puns and corny jokes, Jewish or not.

Lina Jones

Hi Steve! Welcome to the stage!

Christopher Wisniewski

Hello Sir! Glad to hear your plays are published.

Cynthia Chapman

Hey Steve! I'm pretty new at this too. Welcome! (Using !!!s liberally here since we can't use them to often in our scripts!!!!)

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion (again) everyone, just very excited and honored this week! The Third Bomb has won the 1st PLACE Action/ Adventure Award at the 46th Annual Nashville Film Festival screenplay contest :-) Happy Dance! www.thirdbomb.com

Susan Holtzer

Great news, Phillip! Congrats!

Phil Parker

Thanks, Phil! How was the Hill Country Festival?

Phillip E. Hardy, "The Real Deal"

Phillip: It was really a great weekend. Beautiful town, restaurants, shop and you would find the Admiral Nimitz war museum of particular interest. They have the largest collection in the world of WWII...
