Erick Opeka: Producer, business development/sales and distributor in Los Angeles, California.

Hi Everyone - heard great things so thought it would be good to network. I'm EVP & GM of several networks for Cinedigm, oversee Cinedigm Productions (where we make original content for the networks), own a feature doc production company called PopDocs that just raised slate financing, and serve as consulting producer on small indie projects that I'm passionate about. I'm also a mentor at Techstars, focusing on advising and incubating entertainment-centric tech startups. I've been very active in film distribution for nearly 15 years and know the ins and outs of it very well, so happy to give guidance.

Dear Erick:

We have a unique project on immigration, totalitarianism and political awakening. It’s a 4-season TV series completely written. It would be ideal for HBO or Showtime. The stories are original, profoundly emotional, solid, relevant and they fill a gap in the market nobody has served seriously so far. We have the perfect product for this juncture. We have also caught the interest of five animation studios, four of them with names to defend in the United States. They are willing to produce the proof of concept and be included as Talent in our prospectus. The idea is to have a pilot to sell in 2020.

So, counting with your help at fundraising could make all the difference to complete our prospectus and to recruit another producer, with what we would have a real chance at success.

Please, write me at blackmiti@yahoo.com so I can send you the script of the proof of concept and a copy of the first draft of the screenplay. That way you will be able to judge by yourself the potential of this project. Also, please reach me with any question you may have.

Looking forward to your answer,

Alfredo Bravo de Rueda

Hi Erick. 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
