Mandela Effect
You are about to enter another dimension.../ This was partially the first sentence of the Twilight zone. Remember? Now me and hundreds ( thousands?) or more people think that they have entered the Twilight Zone. Have you heard of the Mandela Effect? Here's a definition: " where a person recalls s...

Toni, here's a You Tube video showing the clip of the Scarecrow with a black revolver and the Tin Man carries a large lug wrench, not just his ax (the wrench is "new" too!) : https://www.youtube.com/w...

It's actually a silver revolver not black. But still no one who grew up with this film remembers Scarecrow ever having a gun yet there it is in his hand clear as day.
I actually wrote a short play in which a wife in marriage therapy keeps swapping her husband out with versions from other dimensions, called Youniverse. It was fast, funny, stupid, and it made me a bunch of new friends. We had a blast!

- I'd love to see Youniverse! and 2. I just watched the clip of Wizard of Oz and am dumbstruck that he had a gun, and that he didn't try to use it on the flying monkeys!
Anne Marie Robinson We staged it at a festival of one-acts at Theatre of Note in Hollywood. It was great. I'm happy to send the script, if you're curious.

Tony Viola - Private Film Funder
Well Hello Stage 32!!! My name is Tony Viola and I provide Film Funding Services for all types of TV & Film Projects all over the world. I love the industry, art and music.. This is awesome to be in the presents of so many like minded, creative people!!!
Hi Tony, I have a project you might find viable for an investment. Can we talk?
My plan just now is to seek Vulture Capital with the idea we could put together enough to pitch, then let Investors have whatever we can put together on the idea we can make enough in one package to pitch at an actual studio — which could see the project through.
Lovely to meet you, Tony!! And yes, for folks who love creativity and collaboration and support, Stage 32 is fantastic!! And who doesn't love creativity, collaboration, and support? Hugs!! ~Tsara
Nice to meet you please let me know if u need music or a singer
Hi Tony, I have several female driven comedies that need funding, if you fund comedy. If you're interested in reading, let me know! Best of luck to all your endeavors. : )
Comedy Script with Strong Latino lead
Other than Inktip like companies, does anyone have suggestions on where to send a Latino / Hispanic comedy spec script? The story is called Suicide - The Comedy, and it has strong female leads. I would not mind sending it to actresses, but have no clue where to even locate contact email addresses. Any help out there?
IMDB!!!!
oops, IMDB Pro. Call managers and look for other producers of similar stuff and call them too.
Introducing myself.....

Creating conflict
What are some great ways to add conflict to scenes? Any rules of thumb?
The creator and writer of Mash... I forget his name, said, "Always put your characters in the last place on earth they want to be."
No Problem, If my limited skills can help you with something let me know.
Great advise! thanks all.
"The Women" is nothing BUT conflict. Have you watched it recently? I think nothing beats really sharp, deadly wit, because the other characters all react in different ways.
The 1939 version.
Keepin' on keepin' on.
Hi Everyone! I could say the same thing Antonio Campbell just did. I have several comedy screenplays under my belt and 1 in the hands of the comedian of my dreams! I continue to study, write and market. I have also done wardrobe for some small budget indies and teach a great vinyasa yoga class to keep $ and energy flowing.
Looking for production for a screenplay
I've been working to find a production company to fund a screenplay and have gotten great feedback but no interest. I posted it if anyone wants to take a look. It's a female driven comedy. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Doing quite well, Tennyson. Been full speed ahead on any number of projects as well as the day to day of running this joint.
Richard "RB" Botto Well done, sir. Stay healthy and take care of yourself, my good man!

Richard "RB" Botto How is the biopic screenplay you were commissioned to do coming along? I don't envy you having to keep so many plates spinning at Stage 32 and then want to spend time writing.

Expand commentHi Tennyson, your projects sounds great. My 3 scripts feature strong diverse leads so I am excited you did a webinar on it. I would love to hear it. In fact, on Wed. I was in the pitch tank with Anna Henry and Jason (it's in the vault if you want to listen--I think I was 2nd or 3rd) and pitch a true story based on the life of an African American woman during pre and post Civil War times. It is a character-driven film for a strong African American woman lead! Would love to learn from your webinar!
