Al Clemente Saks- Aka- Al Clemente: Actor in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

I have been with stage32 sometime. I have learned a lot and met a lot of people. My goals for 2019 is to make a feature film. With the help of God and hard work, this will happen.

This is for new Producers or old Producers unaware (likely you know), but there are investment scammers here. There are also legitimate offers. But there are scammers too. Be wary. The latest is offering millions without reading your script (s), knowing your attachments, etc. They want to talk numbers and an agreement, but they want NO LAWYERS involved. Money laundering is involved or scamming most likely, but it is not good. There are far more legitimate people here than that and I will call out no names as I have no proof of intent, but be careful, my fellow producers. Remember what happened to the Producers of THE WOLF OF WALL STREET and just be careful where your money comes from. Don't be scared as there are many good people here and opportunity can knock. Just be wary. If it is too good to be true, it likely is. That said, there are angel investors too. But angel investors always are willing to talk with lawyers to finalize a contract. That is because they are legitimate.

Hey my names Dave and I am currently in preproduction for my first feature. It’s a script I wrote that made it to the semifinals of the new blood contest here on Stage 32. It looks like I’m going to have to rely on favors and friends for crew. I am planning a crowdfunding campaign to at least pay for food and sfx makeup supplies. Unless of course I can find investors.... [crickets] Well any advice is welcome!!!

Hi Al. 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
