Hamzah Al: Student in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

Hi guys,

I'm currently at a crossroads. I am not sure whether I should go to university to study Law or if I should pursue a career in film making. This confusion led me to writing my first ever script for a short.and making my decision depending on how it goes. I have no intention of selling the script ,as it's my first ever one, I'd rather just shoot it with a few friends.

As it stands, I have only written about half of it (which is 11 pages long) and have been hit by a sudden surge of disappointment as I think it's pretty shit and not engaging at all. I really need someone to read the little I've written and gauge from that whether it's worth risking it and diving into the creative world. I need brutal honesty above all else as I am at a critical point in my life and the wrong move could have me regretting it for a very long time. I have until the 10th of September to decide to go to university to study Law and be in all that debt or to take the plunge into the creative world.

If you're interested in having a read, please comment your email and I will share the draft with you on Amazon Storywriter.

Thanks,

Hamzah Al.

Hi Hamzah. 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
