Kiran Maverick: Producer in Brussels, Belgium.

Hello everyone, my name is Alicia Sekhri and I live in France. I'm (self)-learning to become a screenwriter and currently exploring the audio series format as well. I'm super interested in everything related to writing, directing, and music supervision - so feel free to reach out! I'd be glad to learn about your experience and just make new friends :) Thanks!

Hello Creative people! I'm based in Brussels and super glad to be on Stage32. I'm new to the creative field and here to learn and connect with storytellers. Will be happy to volunteer for any indie productions happening in Europe. Would also love to explore collaboration opportunities with filmmakers who are looking for a Co-producer for their shorts with a social message (Europe/U.S/Latin America/Africa). Feel free to connect with me to exchange ideas or a Coffee if you happen to visit Brussels.

When you look at crowdfunding campaigns for specific projects, what are the things that jump out to you? What would motivate you to back a campaign for a stranger?

Do you look for a well-produced concept video? Does it have an adverse effect on you if it looks amateurish?

Do you solely look for how much passion the filmmaker presents in their pitch video?

Do you look for signs that they are well-organized and have done their research?

Do you look for A-list talent?

Do you only donate if the project sheds light on a social or moral issue?

Do you look for campaigns where characters from the film interact with their fanbase?

Very interested to hear your thoughts!

Hi Kiran. 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
