Hi, folks. Just wanted to get the word out that the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival opens its submission window on FilmFreeway and Withoutabox on January 3. Our festival is completely dedicated to the work of exceptional first and second time filmmakers, whether its your first or second short or first or second feature. We are open to any genre: narrative drama or comedy, documentary, experimental and animation. The 3rd Annual Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival will roll out this coming August 24-27 in beautiful Middlebury, VT. You can learn more about our fun event at middfilmfest.org.

Good to be here at Stage 32. I am the founder and producer of the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival, held every year in late August in beautiful Middlebury, Vermont. Our sole purpose is to advance the work of talented first and second time filmmakers. If you have recently completed a short or a feature, in any genre, we would love to see your work. Our 3rd Annual festival takes place next August 24-27 and our submission window opens on January 3, 2017 on both FilmFreeway and Withoutabox.

Hi Lloyd. 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
