Roaring and writing :)

Hello! I am a screenwriter in the middle of several projects - some more advanced than others. I have written a feature film on the Bombing of Darwin, rewriting a limited series based on the life of Mary Wollstonecraft, and completing a feel-good television mystery series, set in the 1980s. I also h...

Only in My Dreams!

A funny thing happened to me last week. As I finally got the fantasy trilogy I've been working on ready for querying, I submitted the copyright application for all 3 books at the same time. This is because group applications cost less. Since I knew I wouldn't be querying until I finished all 3, it m...

Actors: Learn what a Costumer wishes you knew!

This is our 5th interview in the "I Wish Actors Knew..." series. This time I sat down with Miracole Burns, an experienced Costumer (and cosplayer). She's done no-budget projects all the way up to the upcoming Red One (starring Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson). She's done super suits on Doom Patrol an...

Favorite writing spot

I read Agatha Christie's favorite place to churn out stories was her bathtub.

My home gym is my new favorite spot to write - this way I can take out my plot frustrations on the heavy bag.

Where's your favorite spot to write?

What are you working on today?

Amanda Toney

My favorite place is my office desk with a candle. Total zen and total zone.

Mark Giacomin

If I'm at my flat, sat with my laptop at a glass table in front of a window (I like a good dose of natural light). If I'm in London (I usually have a notebook and pen) there are plenty of seating area...

Animation time!

I’m excited to get back into animation after years in law as a paralegal, working on some giant mass tort cases. Before law I was an animator and creator of a series called the Golden Panda in Vancouver, BC. We had animators such as Chuck Harvey and Lenord Robinson, and Director Jacob Medjuck. Now I...

New to the platform.

I'm a writer. I make people feel. Looking for my next project.

Shaun Watt

Kaz Kilmore Welcome to Stage32. I'll be reaching out in the future with something I'm working on, we could possibly collaborate.

Kaz Kilmore

Kerry Kennard yes, maybe unusual to most but I prefer to stand behind the people I work with, not in front of them.

Kerry Kennard

Kaz Kilmore - I’m an introvert at times; have learned to push at times. Like you, doing Composing and post-production are two areas.

I teach drums PT right now.

Daniel Husbands

Hello Kaz Kilmore and welcome to Stage32, what style would you say your writing is like? Any movies that you can give us that speak to how you like to tell your stories?

Brian Gunter

Hey, nice to see you here! I'm new to S32 also. Been really positive so far!

My first feature screenplay done, what's next?

So, I've finished my first feature screenplay, submitted to a few competition and festivals, without really knowing what I'm doing.

This was the third award in a couple of weeks, and I'm excited that people actually (well.. at least possibly) read it.

However, I've realized that telling a good story i...

Turn your screenplays into plays. Tell the nearest amateaur theatre to produce. When the play version becomes a success, you can tell that to those who buy screenplays.
