Congrats for grinding it out and delivering something on screen, guys. Inspirational piece

Really enjoy these features where someone has a wealth of experience across all different facets of filmmaking and picks out gems to help pay it forward. Thanks, Martin. Up for chatting more about your films, if you want to get the word out. Cheers, Matt

Good afternoon everyone, hope all is well? I am relatively new to the scene and this year I finally graduate from the University of South Wales in the United Kingdom, after studying the industry for the last six years. I am a practicing screenwriter that specializes writing war dramas of the Naval aspect. I have written five scripts that have all been produced and is currently in the process of getting my sixth, which filming starts next week.

That’s all from me for now, hopefully I haven’t made a complete tool of myself. Much love.

Just popping in to say hi. Looking forward to interacting with the talented and enthusiastic people on here. I have developed several film scripts with European producers and directors, but took a few years out to raise my young family. Now back working on film and TV projects in the UK and worldwide.

Hi. I am excited about my new projects. Two of the projects are adaptations from novels into TV/web series. Looking forward to the adventure.

Hi everyone! I have over 20 years experience: I was a Senior Producer for BET (DC & NYC). I've directed music videos for Interscope, Warner Brothers, EMI, MCA, Sony Music, Capitol Records, Atlantic Records, Motown…a Disney Channel concert and a few commercials. (One of my spots won an Electronic Retailing Association award for Best Short Form Lead Generator.)

My first short film "Final Act" stars Joe Morton will soon be re-released on a streaming platform. My latest short "Thou Art In Heaven" is currently on IGTV.

I've published several books: “Souls of My Sisters”; "Souls Revealed: A Souls of My Sisters Book of Revelation and Tools for Healing Your Life, Soul, and Spirit”, and the children's book "Peanut Butter and Bologna Sandwiches".

Over the next couple of months...I'm getting ready to direct my first feature film "Chicken Bone Beach" and the doc-series "When Old School Was New School". On the producing side, a TV special called "12 Notes".

Hi Matthew. 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.
