I think it all starts with storytelling. Big budgets, small budgets. Lots of money or shoestring budgets, all films have to start with a script. I have ideas for scripts and have written just about everything from poetry, opinion editorials, page one article in newspaper, diary entries to screenplays.

Stage 32 has lots of products, classes and services but does little to explain how fledgling writers/ waiters-wannabe writers can pay hundreds to thousands of dollars even though they are not working writers.They are poor people working paycheck just to eat and and keep the lights on. How do they afford such fees? Most classes are informative. So how do you pay for them while not being a working writer while keeping your sanity and your bills paid?
