The entire process was a joy...clear communication, strong story material, and a team energy that m...

I just wanted to share my recent success and thank Stage 32 for everything it does for us the creative army. I was notified yesterday that one of my scripts was selected for an OWA. I was blown away, and it wouldn't have been possible without Stage 32. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Yay Pink Matzke incredible!

I wanted to share a piece of my journey so far—not as a “formula,” but as a real-time case study in how a story can find its footing without traditional gatekeeping. Pretty Little Lucy began as a psychological thriller screenplay. What followed wasn’t a conventional marketing push, but an organic, c...

Thanks so much, Maurice—I really appreciate that.

A massive thank you to Nick Phillips at Stage 32 for his incredible support! After reading some of my scripts, he took a real interest in my work. He mailed back after 2 days and suggested I reach out to Spencer Robinson at Art/Work Entertainment. Spencer kindly took the time to read my work and, fo...

Clive - How did Nick happen to be reading some of your scripts?
Thanks for the support messages. We need to be there pushing each other, this is a tough industry and we all lose faith and confidence at times! Nick read the script through a consultation.
You're welcome, Clive Morris.
Love it, Clive Morris! Thank you for sharing this with us all!
This is fantastic Clive and thoroughly deserving. The world needs to see more of your stories.

Great questions, Darrell — and honestly, you’re already doing the hardest part by being intentional about it.
