Hi I just joined Stage 32

Hi everyone looking to find creatives and business people for several projects. Main focus is finding a comedy writer/collaborator (preferably in NY but possibly LA) for a comedy TV pilot who has written pilots. Looking for witty along the vein of Curb.

I’ve been in the film industry for 20 years ini...

How To?

How does one run an effective crowdfund campaign? What are the musts and must nots?

Richard Thrift

IMDb Pro page is not on my top priority list, having fun and making films is.

Bradley Bergling

One of the best ways for crowdfunding -- look at what has worked from other campaigns. Not just their kickstarter pages, but where else they have a media presence. As crowdfunding continues to age, pe...

If I was going to back it, I need to see determination, motivation and some value background of course.

Hello My name's Darren

Hello everyone, my name's Darren Roberts and I'm a scriptwriter based in Kent in England.

I've been writing for around 15 years and haven't had a great deal of luck so far, I've come annoyingly close quite a few times though, but I'm currently working on making a teaser/sample scene for a feature film.

Welcome!

Jolly Ole! My Sci-Fi script won in The Monkey Bread Tree contest there in London last year. Interesting name for festival, 'Ey, what--son?

As Winston Churchill said, Never, Never, Never give up!

All projects are on hold till May of 2020. Once May has hit we hope to have raised enough money to fund two films.

Screening Fee at Film Festivals

Hi.. I was recently asked what I would charge as a screening charge for my film to be shown at a film festival. Does anyone know what the going rates are? The film is a one hour documentary. Thanks!

Mitchell Stephenson

Good information.

Mitchell Stephenson

Is it common for filmmakers to pay an additional fee after their film has been selected? Just to be seen in the festival?

Antwon Taylor

Not necessarily. Feel free to email me greytiger1979@gmail.com 1979

An actress's dentures are on display in a museum

Mae West went to great lengths to draw people's attention to her perfect smile. But she wore false teeth. Who has the dentures now? Hint: they are in California.

Yes. Richard Thrift But a lady never kisses and tells.

Perhaps 60 Minutes will do a story on the secret location of Mae's teeth.

I believe they are enshrined here: https://baltimore.org/listings/attractions/national-museum-dentistryThe California claim exi...

What a link! Thank you so much. JD Hartman

Has S32 outgrown itself and become a black void? It feels like it.

B.V Jottsonne

well when you live in a world where there are only five or six films a year worth talking about and a fish stick film will win all of the awards......but I'd rather be here than at a university sponsored poetry reading.

Caitlin Burt
why is sharing your work considered spam by stage32? I guess they want people to just talk about doing things and never actually do them

I wrote and shot this short monster movie in a day. Make your short, pick your role, do whatever you want to do. oh, and have me in your movie please...

Beth Fox Heisinger

I enjoyed this too. I didn't mind the 'found footage' style in the middle, rather works to separate sections. Perhaps a little too long in places... editing. Loved the creepy sound at the end! Lovecra...

Thanks Ryan, and Beth. It's great to get feedback. Duly noted about the editing. And I'll check out the short of the week.

Sam Borowski

Caitlin is it your goal to be more of a filmmaker or actress? Or both? Also, while I won't post it here, should you want feedback on your short, feel free to message me. But, always strive to do the BEST work you can do.

How to???

This is literally the question. How to run an effective Crowdfunding Campaign? What works? What does not? What goes on the MUST - DO list and what goes on the NEVER DO list? What is tried and tested "Eureka" formula?

Doug Nelson

Richard, You got to show the folks what you can do first; you fail to do that - and you've slammed the door on yourself. All the wishin' and hopin' for free money just ain't gonna get it. It's just the hard core truth.

Richard Thrift
Stage32 Could Be Doing More

I would Like To See More f/book-esque features here. If you are creating a film and had a closed group on-site as well as maybe partnering with a company like CeltX so they integrate a free (or S32 begins pro accounts) version of their studio with Stage32.

I just feel there is not enough room to create and promote here. It sounds weird I know.
