The text of your post shows up in the Stage 32 phone app but not the web browser. I'm guessing you wrote the post in the app, so you might need to edit the post in a web browser. That way, the post will show up for members who get on Stage 32 with a browser. You can edit your post by clicking the downward arrow to the right of your name, selecting "Edit Post," and reposting the text.

oh thank you, I see it on both.

Hi Nanbam Jeltu, I look forward to your documentaries. I am a life long fan of documentaries that started with Marlin Perkins and Wild Kingdom as a young girl. I wonder if you have heard of www.waterbear.com ? WaterBear is a free streaming platform and there are hundreds of documentaries there. They also have an app you can download for free as well. I am in the process of taking the screen reader / coverage writing training through Hollywood Gate Keepers. I was wondering how one would be a screen reader for documentaries perhaps you might have insights around these areas of film, writing, and final production? Wishing you great success with your work, you and yours have a beautiful weekend

Thank you Maurice, sorry and appreciate it!

You're welcome, Bou Her. Unique Rom-Com! You could post your script on your profile. Producers search profiles for projects. That and networking are how I sold four short scripts to a producer. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your script on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Hi @Bou Her and welcome to Stage 32! It's great to have you here. Look forward to seeing you around the lounges!

Welcome. Sounds like a great script and what a beautiful way to honor your twin brother.

This is great! If you ever have need for a Wardrobe stylist or designer for your character looks I would love to help out.

Thank you Mone't and Via I'll keep you in mind if things get funded and I have a say in the decisions.

Hey, Kurt Kingston. I wrote a Batman script once (short script). What's your Batman script about?

Hostile takeovers, get it? :)

I'm not deep into Batman lore, Kurt Kingston. Is there something about hostile takeovers in Batman? Or are you talking about hostile takeovers in general?

Hi, Anthony Yorba. Welcome to the community. Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world. www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

Stage 32's November Community Open House was yesterday that'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros. The recording will be up soon. It's free to watch. www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-s-november-community-open-ho...

I suggest adding a profile picture of yourself and a detailed bio to your profile. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you. A detailed bio will help you build relationships/network on here. You could add things to your bio like why you became an author/music producer/screenwriter, your accomplishments, your goals, and what movies, shows, and music you like.

You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture."

You can edit your bio by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner of Stage 32, then selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Edit Bio & Goals."

Congratulations on finishing your first book! What's it about?

Thank you very much for the warm welcome! I appreciate the links/info!

I'll give a quick run down. I don't want to paraphrase the proposed back cover yet.

"Heaven Ain't Far, Hell Ain't Either" is a western-noir thriller following Elias, a 28-year-old man attempting to escape a life few survive. The story opens with Elias and his best friend and girlfriend, Mara (26), relocating to a new town seeking a fresh start. Three years have passed since Elias last ran a job—he worked as a transporter, moving cargo and taking orders he learned not to question. But eventually, his debt comes due. When Elias kills a handler in self-defense, he knows he has no choice but to run. His checkered past and the ambiguous circumstances surrounding the death mean the police and courts won't look favorably on his case—self-defense or not, a man is dead. What he doesn't realize is that he's now running from a network far larger and more dangerous than he ever imagined. Elias loses everything. Stripped down to nothing, he reaches a breaking point that forces a revelation—one that leads to self-discovery and new information that could allow him to build a new life. Not his old life, but any life is better than death.

I have produced a 21 song soundtrack that follows each chapter of the book and I even included music for small scenes when you hear a radio play in the background.

And it is this that I am writing a script for!

You're welcome, Anthony Yorba. I can't wait to read and watch Heaven Ain't Far, Hell Ain't Either!
