I short a feature that was supposed to premiere at Plaza Theater in Atlanta yesterday but we had to cancel due to the pandemic. Ticket purchases refunded and it felt really bad. But Looking on the bright side, we are moving the premiere online and are working to get it on Prime Video. I think it is a good thing because we can still get our audience to watch as they stay safe at home.

During this period we need to be innovative and creative in our work and in getting our art and craft out to the target audience. We can also carry this over to the when this craziness ends. I hope everyone is staying safe as we create and share our art.

Here is the trailer

Hello,

I am an experienced DP and Steadicam operator. I have worked on television shows, web series, shorts and feature films. Some I produced and directed. I am currently working on a web series "Choosing Chastity", streaming on youtube and we are about to start working on season 2. I am also working on a short film, my first horror film and I am loving it. I own and run my production company where we run professional post-production equipment and software. I also own cinema cameras, lights kits, and everything to make your production a reality. www.lesliedapwatda.com

Finished my script yesterday. Found out a similar small movie was done based on a true story about the same topic. I had googled the idea and at first nothing came up. But I googled again today using different key words and a movie came up with similar premise. Heart sunk. Palm to the forehead. Anyone have experienced this? I mean two movies came out at the same time about asteroids hitting the earth, but I am just rationalizing....bummer.

Hi Leslie. 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
