Hi, folks. Just looking to chat up any authors who are pursuing book-to-movie processes. I'm getting my toes wet. Anybody else out there with the same game plan? I'm multi-published with an agent and manager. I'm also a writer advocate and teacher of sorts. -- Chris

Hello from Tatiana in Canada!
Hello everyone!
My name is Tatiana A. Gordeeva. I am a music composer from Canada.
In my native Russia I composed for symphonic and chamber orchestras. Since then, with the help of technology, I added many other genres: jazz, techno, rock, pop, ambient, ethnic, etc. Now living near Montreal and work...

Hey Tatiana. Thanks for the cool share. You have so many diverse and interesting music scores but I just had time to listen to ten tonight cos I'm on the move. You even got "Noir" in there with Hitchcock's Carousel. Welcome stage 32.
Hello Debbie and thank you for your nice comments. I would love to contribute to any of your projects, noir or any other color :)
Hi Aray! Nice to meet you too!

Thanks for the support, Charles. I was suspicious of him when he did this to me before, so I checked out his post history on a Vancouver Film group. The majority was him trying to browbeat other artists about their posts.

I keep running into the same types of personalities who are very unhappy or stuck and the only way to combat the issues, is to put others down. Here in Stage32, I have found a good creative vibe, but one still needs to watch who they share their project with.

I was able to see a play I wrote some years ago come to life on stage in a 10 minute festival with other local playwrights

Congratulations Octavia. Play’s are obviously performed. “live “ as opposed to scenes in a film that can be shot again, behind closed doors. I remember the adrenalin hitting max levels in front of crowds, when it just has to be right on the night.

Expand commentI think as a novelist it would difficult for me to produce a screenplay treatment let alone an actually screenplay. I'm too rooted in thinking in words, being in love with the written word. It seems to me you need to think more visually for a screenplay. I wrote a one-act play once; it never got any traction so I rewrote it as a short-story with more success. I would simply like to get one of my books optioned and let someone with more experience and talent in writing screenplays develop the movie. That's why I'm thinking of approaching one of the companies Daisy mentioned earlier.

Hi Chris Good to read you. I'm an author who's written two books. I have the same plan.
Hello Chris, good for you! I'm currently planning the sixth book in my memoir series and would love to follow the same process. Honestly, though, I don't know where to start.
