Leandro Matos: Screenwriter in Toronto, Canada.

Hello, everyone! I'm a screenwriter from Brazil, but I moved to Vancouver last year. I've had four feature films produced back home. The last, Love.com, is available on Netflix worldwide. I've also been part of writing teams for a few tv shows, such as Samantha! and Drunk History. I'm now writing three feature films under contract (for Brazil) while I try to get into the industry in North America.

Most of my work was in comedy or romantic comedies, and I also did some lifestyle and reality shows.

I'm trying to diversify now. One of the features I'm writing now is a musical and another is a thriller. I also have three specs ready in English: a coming of age drama feature, a drama series and a comedy series.

Thanks for connecting, Mark!

I'm a screenwriter from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Been doing it for the last 8 years and I have been part of a lot of different projects here. Now I'm looking for opportunities to get to know and work with people and projects from around the world. Think it could be a great learning experience for me.

Hi Leandro. 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 1,000,000+ 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
