Introduce Yourself

The live-action movies are okay. But I just prefer the video game franchise and comic book adaptations. Lol

I like the live-action movies, but I prefer the video game franchise too, Chase Carmichael. I didn't know there were comics. I'll have to check them out. Thanks. And I looked up Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM). I watched it growing up too, but I forgot about it.

I loved the Sonic games! I never got into the shows or movies, but I should probably give them a chance.

Thanks for sharing. Good luck with your goals.

I love the Sonic games too, Elle Bolan. The shows sometimes are a few swings and misses, while the movies are fascinating for everybody's taste. Ray Fontenault, Thank you I appreciate it.

You're right. If people feel cared for, the work becomes easier, richer, and more enjoyable.

What's your favorite food/one of your faves?

Hi Maurice! Thank you. I'll check it out. Favorite food...well, I'm a classically trained chef turned food photographer, so that is tough, but really anything Italian. I love to cook it and eat it. How about you?

You're welcome, Heather Gill. I love Italian food! Pizza is my favorite food. Have you thought about being a food/chef consultant for writers?

Hi Maurice, Thanks for the reach out. The script about my growing up as a twin (Pals Forever) is currently being reviewed by someone from a Pitch Session here at Stage 32....here's hoping they like it.

You're welcome, Ray Fontenault. The script sounds interesting. Hope they like the script and request it!

Something I do to pitch my scripts is post pages in Stage 32's Your Stage Lounge, on Twitter/X, and on Instagram, like First Page Friday, Third Page Thursday, and Sneak Peek Sunday. I post loglines and script posters with the pages. I've gotten script requests. And sometimes I post short pitches (like two-word pitches and three-word pitches) on social media.

Thanks for sharing. The pitch was a request. Simply waiting to hear back from them.

You're welcome, Ray Fontenault. Congratulations on the request! Hope you get a meeting and financing! And Stage 32 has some Financing resources.

Well then, your voice echoed through my house nonstop as a kid haha. I loved Rugrats, and that whole block of Nickelodeon shows back in the day. Cheers, Cheryl! Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome!

HI Cheryl Chase Welcome to Stage 32. Have you thought about doing audiobooks? Especially childrens'

Hi Martin! Welcome back! I believe it's never too late to go after your goals. I think those of us who write can relate to staying up late when inspiration strikes. I've stayed up until 2am or 3am writing poetry. Sometimes the best ideas I've had for poems has come at those late night/early morning hours. Have a joyous holiday season!

Thank you, Haley Mary ! Absolutely correct. It was nice to take a step back, get some new life experience. I'm normally a late owl, so it's not so bad haha. It really is an idea hour for sure. Cheers, Haley! Same to you! Hope it's a relaxing one!

I have been a member of Stage 32 for almost a year. When I first joined, I was quite apprehensive and very guarded. The thought of opening up and presenting my creative work to others felt like a significant leap. Despite my initial reservations, I continued to visit the site, observing the community and its dynamics.

Over time, I witnessed an impressive level of activity and engagement among staff and members. The progress and vibrancy within the community were so remarkable that at times, I found it almost unbelievable. Stage 32 stands out from other screenwriting platforms. What truly captivated me was the forward movement and active involvement from both the staff and the members. The sense of momentum and connection here is unlike anything I have experienced elsewhere. It is a very unique platform.

What I appreciate most about stage 32 is the genuine care and affinity the staff has for its members. This truly is the beating heart of this community. Their dedication to building and nurturing this space is evident and the time and effort invested in writing blogs, sharing personal experiences, plus championing writers. The encouragement, support, and celebration offered to members fosters a welcoming, uplifting environment. This community truly serves as a lifeline for screenwriters.

In a world where people can often seem distant and it is easy to feel invisible; it is wonderful to know that Stage 32 provides a safe space. Here, we can feel good about ourselves and our writing journey, supported by a caring community. Thank you to every one of the staff at Stage 32 for your kindness and diligence in creating such a supportive environment.

Thanks for all you do.

Definitely the community and staff here at Stage 32. I've never met a group of creative people so supportive. Particularly writers. So this community is a big change pace.

Hi Ashley!

Whenever I welcome new members, I always tell them they’ve come to the best place — and I truly mean that.

I’ve been genuinely surprised by how helpful both the community and the Stage 32 team are.

Whether I asked for help here or via private email, you’ve always been incredibly supportive, even providing templates when needed.

So thank you for being here, and thank you for all the amazing work you do.

I love the community and staff here at Stage32! Everyone here is so supportive of everyone else's goals, how everyone cheers one another on and I love reading the blogs every week because there is always something new to learn.

Introducing Myself as a Horror Screenwriter

Hi everyone,

I’m Wisal Chaban — a screenwriter specializing in horror and psychological thrillers.

Excited to share two of my newest feature screenplays:

• THE DOLLMAKER’S GRIN

A psychological horror story about a mysterious dollmaker whose creations carry a sinister life of their own.

• THE THIRTEENTH ECHO

A supernatural thriller exploring echoes from another reality haunting a small town with terrifying consequences.

I focus on atmospheric, character-driven horror with emotional depth and cinematic tension.

Happy to connect with filmmakers, producers, and fellow writers.

Open to collaboration, feedback, and representation opportunities.

– Wisal Chaban

Hi Ana Robson - welcome! You're taking a good first step toward your goals. Congrats :) You'll meet a lot of industry people if you engage in lounges. For you specifically, the Screenwriting and and the Filmmaking lounge, but all of them are filled with supportive, passionate people who are in the entire range of stages in the industry. Also, you should upload your logline and synopsis for your project on your profile. cheers

Sebastian Tudores thank you for the warm welcoming! I'll add a few loglines and synopsis soon. Cheers!

Fantastic Ana Robson - look forward to checking them out :)

Hi @Ana Robson! It's great to meet you and welcome to Stage 32!

Hey, Jon Casey. I found this article called "Reaching Millions: How to Get Your Movie on Tubi." https://darkskiesfilm.com/how-to-get-movie-on-tubi/

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-...

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?
