Tyson McClain's Lounge Discussions

Hey, Tyson! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you! Or have we met before? I feel like we've met before. In any case, welcome to Introduce Yourself Weekend!

Congrats on your screenplays and your creative agency! What genres are they? Are you looking for feedback for your next revision, or are you ready to start pitching them to execs? If you have loglines for your scripts, definitely post them to your profile so more collaborators can inquire about them! https://www.stage32.com/loglines Also, if you're looking to pitch them, definitely reach out to our Director of Script Services, Jason Mirch, who is excellent at matching projects with potential executives (or managers, in your case): J.Mirch@stage32.com

I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely reach out on the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) as well!

Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time. Cheers!

Hey Tyson, I'm James. What types of films do you do? I've created a nine episode saga called "Warriors of MA" . If you have time you can check out my logline and synopsis on my profile to see what you think. I'm looking for collaborators to see this project done. Take care and welcome.

Thanks for reaching out. I particularly like time pieces, biopics, history, drama, thrillers, and suspense. I’m working more toward fantasy since it seems to be a hot trend but the aforementioned are my strongest suits. I will be sure to read your longline. Maybe you can tell me a little more about the writing technique for a television series.

Hi Tyson, welcome to Stage 32. It's a great group to learn from and be part of.

Excellent presentation. What still sticks in my mind today is the example of BB and the use of the color blue--how such a minute detail like that plays with the mind of the audience.

What especially stood out for me were two things. First, when C Mack (!) talked about how a writer can present to Netflix, he said that good writers must get an agent but that "the cream always rises to the top", and that's given me hope. The second thing was his recommendation of "Lupin". I watched the series and really enjoyed it. I especially liked the dog who kept barking every time he heard the bad guy's name. That is definitely a writer's touch AND an element that I used in a play I wrote years ago, so it was a tiny sign that I am on the right track.
