You're welcome, Kim Monroe. You could post your scripts 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 scripts on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Haley Mary hello! yes, I can write music to existing lyrics. I used to do it all the time with my sister who lives in Wisconsin!

Sam, that's awesome! Would you be willing to write some lyrics to my friend and mine's lyrics? I can pass my friend's email along to you in a message if you're interested in helping.

Haley Mary you mean music to your friend and your lyrics? I can definitely do that! the only problem is, is until Dec 17, I am a bit swamped. finishing my masters in conducting. but after Dec 17, I will be all free to help.

Sorry. Yeah, I meant music. Darn auto correct. That's okay. It can wait a little while. We've been waiting for years to find serious musicians to help out.

Haley Mary no worries! thanks for being flexible in that regard. once I am done with my semester, I will message you. looking forward to it!

Sydney S so nice to have finally been able to interact - you have such an inspirational energy :) I used to do quite a bit of photography myself back in the day. mostly dance, some fashion agency tests. How about you? What do you like to shoot?

Thank you very much for your encouragement Sydney S . I’m so happy you like my logline. And yes—the story hides a huge narrative that unfolds simultaneously across three major locations: Earth, planet Oziross, and the ISS.

I’m working on it, and one day it will come to life.

Sydney S Awesome! Nothing is cheesy about a little disco magic. I'm working on my final tweaks on my script Elimination Strain that was accepted into the Austin Film Festival where I met the awesome team from Stage 32. I thought I'd have time to do my tweaks to my script but with Halloween and Thanksgiving so close together it's been hard so this week I'm setting time aside.

Hi Seb,

Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you to say! It’s been lovely having the chance to connect and get to know you more!

I really love to photograph the surf and a lot of nature, the sun, the moon, butterflies, flowers, and different earth elements. I love bright colors but also a B & W moment...I also enjoy experimenting with double exposure, and I like to photograph friends and family, as well as some music. Living on the California coast, I definitely end up capturing a lot of my daily life at the beach, it’s such an inspiring place to live and create. I am so grateful!

It’s amazing you did dance and fashion photography! That must have been such a fun and dynamic experience. Do you still photograph some? Thank you for all you do for the Stage 32 community, we're lucky to have you as an education moderator :)

Warmly,

Sydney

Hi Christopher!!

That’s so exciting, congratulations on Elimination Strain being accepted into the Austin Film Festival! That’s such an amazing achievement, and it must have been incredible connecting with the Stage 32 team there. I was jealous i wasn't there :)

I totally get how busy things can get with Halloween and Thanksgiving right around the corner. It’s great that you’re setting aside time this week to focus on your final tweaks, your script is lucky to have such dedicated attention!

Wishing you smooth editing and lots of inspiration as you wrap it up. Can’t wait to hear how it all comes together! Have a great week!

Warmly,

Sydney

Hi, J'Nae! I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my aunt to leukemia in 2013. I love writing poetry, too. Are there any specific genres of poetry that you write?

My condolences, Haley Mary.

Thanks, Maurice. She passed the week before Christmas, so that time of year is always tough.

You're welcome, Haley Mary. I hope it's not as tough this year.

Congrats on winning the Comedy Teleplay spec award! Well done!

Thank you, Jack Binder ! "Blankman" is as early of an influence on my writing as I can think of so I truly appreciate you saying this!

Great to meet you Dustin Richardson and congratulations on placing at AFF these past two years! I'm sorry you couldn't make it, but I can't imagine back-to-back selections happened by accident. I have no doubt you're writing will bring you to the festival sooner than later. I'd love to chat sometime, are you working on anything exciting right now?

Thank you, Haley Mary ! I really appreciate you reaching out with such kind words!

Thanks Scott Olsen ! I'll message you.
