Nino Abate: Director, screenwriter and filmmaker in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Hi everyone! Excited to be a part of this lab. Tiffany helped me to take my script Down Mexico Way to the next level and it's now in preproduction!

Hi guys,

I’m an Irish Writer/Director living in Paris, and I’m really curious what other people do to pick themselves back of the floor when they have had an (inevitable) set back? The longer I am in the business, the more I realise that talent accounts for about 20% of the battle, and the rest involves tenacity, networking, a big dose of good luck and most importantly, resilience! Personally, I find having other interests outside film making to be essential, so I volunteer with migrants here in Paris. It also gives me a necessary dose of perspective. What do other people do?

If you are an experienced, high-level comedy screenwriter, I'd love to meet you. Drop by and say howdy!

I have a script where the story takes place in Stockholm!

Hi Everyone:

I am looking for a teen oriented comedy with a strong female lead to produce. Prefer comedy scripts that can be made for under $3M and must be PG! If you have anything you think might work, sending me your logline. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hi Nino. 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
