Nigel Hendriks: Director, editor and filmmaker in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Hi everyone! I'm José Miguel Hitos, actor from Granada, Spain. Next month, I move to Madrid to get a lot of experience on acting there. I hope to get here, on Stage 32, the opportunity to work around the world with all the people in this industry. Thanks to Jennifer Norton my acting teacher in Florence, for show me this community! I'm really exciting to be part of this =)

I Nigel, nice to meet you? How are things going? Are you working in some project? I would love to ear and show some ideas.

Good Morning, I am a film maker based in the south east of England, I write and direct my own films as well as have started my own company called Offset Films, where I am working creating advertising films and videography. I also have several scipts I have written. I own my own gear (camera, sound and lighting) and I love making film. Take care, Laurence Scott

Hello to everyone wherever you are in the country or in the world. I am new to the site and like what I see so far I look forward to connecting with as many of you as possible so we can grow individually and collectively. With much love and respect....Tim P.S. I'm working on my first documentary and film series too. Would love any help or support however you lead to do so. Thanks.

I am very passionate about creating films for the future (someone once called me a trailblazer)! I'm passionate, driven and organized. While I agree that one must have knowledge of the industry they are working in, I definitely believe in the old adage 'it's not what you know, it's who you know'. I have had the privilege of being in contact with industry professionals, as well as winning first place in the Holmfirth Film Festival's Young Filmmakers' Competition 2013 (Senior Category, for the film 'The Spirit of Where You Live').

Hi guys, I am João Moutinho from Porto, Portugal. I am in the last year of cinema school and I just want to give continuity to this journey, by evolving via sharing and meet with other artists and craftspeople , show ideas, and work!! Thank you for the opportunity!

Hi. I'm John, a script writer. Not yet quite in the game as they say. Have several scripts. One of them was filmed and went to DVD. It is a horror called Faso Nou. I have been writing since my early twenties but didn't take an interest in film writing until my late thirties. Looking forward to a productive relationship with members of Stage 32.

Hey guys great to be here to share ideas and opportunities. Currently producing documentaries for a global channel. But always looking for new challenges. Let's communicate. Ruud Elmendorp Video Journalist http://www.videojournalist.nl http://www.youtube.com/reelafrica

Hi, I'm an academic, and I've written on various aspects of political philosophy. I'm looking for a change, and want to get into screenwriting! I'm hoping to meet interesting people on here, and learn about how to get started. Cheers, Chris

Thank you for adding me :)

Hey guys, I'm a film student from the Netherlands, have just discovered about this network's existence, and decided to join it! I started art school straight out of high school last year and thus don't have a large portfolio yet, but I came here in the hope of gaining valuable contacts whom I can learn from and with whom I may even end up working in the future. Anything is possible! I'll post my work here and I'll see you guys around :)

Hi folks. I'm currently living a double life. By day, I'm a humble freelance journalist and photographer. But in the evening, at weekends and even times when I should be working, I write, direct, photograph and edit short films. With a small group of co-conspirators, I set up Zolascope (http://www.zolascope.com). We're all amateurs, many of us coming to film for the first time, but we have high standards and big ambitions. We've just finished principle photography on our fourth short drama - The Garden - which I'm now editing. But we've got plans for much more to come...

Hi Nigel. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 400,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

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 pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
