Nicholas Franghias Welcome here. Send me a network request if you like, and we can connect. With cooperation of the Independent Producers Guild, I and my partner are launching FilmPod, which is aimed at creating opportunities for independent filmmakers. We have several films on the go, and maybe should talk to explore any synergy.

Congratulations on launching your company.

Congrats on launching EmberFrames, Niko — that’s a bold move and the projects sound exciting.

I’m Behnam, editor & founder of 7stcut Studio.

Always inspired by filmmakers building their own creative systems. Wishing you powerful storytelling ahead.

It's likely not that scary, but my first life's work VISION has some horror elements and I'm still quite proud of how horrible the curse I cooked up is (death by sense failure).

Incredible acting, Brittany Christine!

It's hard to pick a favorite, but here's a scene from a Horror short script I wrote:

INT. HOUSE - BASEMENT - NIGHT

Bracy slams the door and locks it. She stays on the steps, listening for the cat. No sound. Too quiet.....

The cat’s claw swipes at her feet, and she backs up.

Its claw disappears under the door. She stands on the last step, watching the bottom of the door.

The door shakes like it’s going to be torn off. Bracy jumps, startled.

The shaking stops. She stares at the door.... Nothing happens.

Bracy runs through the basement, searching frantically for an exit. She opens a window --

Monstrous claw swipes at her from outside. She jumps back, avoiding the claw.

The cat’s a ferocious, man-sized monster on all fours. Glowing eyes, deformed body, massive claws, and slimy fur. Yarn balls hang from its body.

CAT

(deep, nightmarish voice)

Meow.

She howls in terror.

The cat climbs quickly through the window and grins at her on all fours, showing its twisted razor teeth.

Bracy backs away, sobbing.

Cat jumps to its feet and runs at Bracy, claw raised to slice her.

She bolts up the steps, never looking back.

This is mine. "Tortured Soul Productions" Story of an actress who is kidnaped heading home from a Hollywood party and finds herself trapped in abasement with a hooded figure intent on making his own horror production with her as the star. Runner-up in the Frights, Camera, Action screenplay contest.

Cool Mark! I checked out the page, and it's in German. Will the film be in German as well?

The film itself will be filmed in german yes! but im already casting Voice Actors from Canada and the US to Voice over the movie once its done, so it can be enjoyed all around the world!!

Love the concept, Mark — brutal and neon-soaked psychological tones always create strong cinematic rhythm.

Since you’re a minor, be especially careful about privately connecting with anyone on the platform.

I suggest using a photo of yourself as your profile picture. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look 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."

Congratulation on starting your journey @andysabba - keep moving forward!

Hi, Alana Waletsky! Like a Sci-Fi Fantasy Gotham City?

Yes! Definately and one of the characters is a Baron!

Hey, Alana Waletsky. Unique places. That's one of the things that make a movie and show stand out in my opinion, especially in a Sci-Fi or Fantasy.

this part keeps getting more fascinating! The political and magical layers in Vinland add such rich complexity to the world of Project Redmoon. I love how you’re blending mythology, power struggles, and alternate history. it feels like a truly cinematic multiverse in the making. Can’t wait to read Part 4 and see where Joshua’s journey takes us next!

I'm Going to do Part4 sunday thank you for supporting me in this venture.

You're welcome, Alana Waletsky. Looking forward to Part 4! Have a great weekend!

Dear Chidera, I am dirt poor and have no funds to even fund my own project. I'm using a promise that once the series gets picked up by a streaming Company i will pay out $650.00 for each script my writers wrote, so unfortunately I can't join in your movie. Good Luck! Bram Alroy (Alan Waletsky)

Koby Nguyen Thank you appreciate it, blessed with all of the encouragement, it’s not an easy move a first in the family but I know it’s the right decision. I’d love to work together in the future!

Hi Maurice Vaughan

Hi Maurice! First off I want to thank you for all of your help and guidance as I enter this platform. Also, where can I post my album collab with other artists? I’d also love for it to be used in some film have any suggestions?

You're welcome, Wyatt Johnson. You could make an artist collaboration post on the Job Board (www.stage32.com/find-jobs). You could also make a post in the Your Stage Lounge (www.stage32.com/lounge/promotion) and on Your Wall.

You could search for producers and directors who might be looking for music in the Browse Members section (www.stage32.com/people).

Wyatt, what an exciting move to LA! Groundlings is an amazing foundation for your craft. Having both a screenplay and soundtrack shows real creative versatility—best of luck building connections in the city!

Phuc Quang Vu Dao Thank you! I appreciate it very much! let’s work together someday and collaborate.
