As the result of my winning the Stage 32 TV Writing Contest, Jason Mirch and his team have been setting meetings up for me all over town. It’s been a whirlwind water bottle tour! And all the industry professionals I’ve met with so far, have really positive things to say about their association with Stage 32. One of those meetings was with Brooklyn Weaver of Energy Entertainment. Brooklyn is a very intelligent and personable guy with a ton of knowledge about the film and TV industry. We met at Chateau Marmont, which if you haven’t been, is a must visit place on your LA tour. It is steeped in Hollywood history. And just a beautiful place to spend the afternoon.

Brooklyn was very complimentary of my script Migra and we talked about the state of the industry and where I saw my place within it. I write crime dramas/thrillers and have a deep love for all things murder, mayhem and corrupt. Migra is about two border guards that make some very bad choices that bring on dangerous unintended consequences. I also sent him an other original pilot that I wrote which he was kind enough to read.

We had a great conversation. And though I met with several other managers who were also smart and funny and interesting and amazing, I thought at the end of the day, Brooklyn and I had very similar visions of how I saw my future. I trust he knows the best way to get there. We seem to share the same philosophy - If you throw enough spaghetti at the wall, something is bound to stick. So, I went with my gut. I look forward to a very long and successful collaboration with Energy Entertainment.

Thanks to Jason Mirch and everyone on the Stage 32 team for making this possible and I know that they can make your dreams of working in in the film business come true. Take advantage of all the education and networking opportunities they offer. Then get out there and make your movie, TV show or web series with the talented people you’ve met on stage 32.

Thanks to Brooklyn for taking the meeting! And of course, thank you to Stage 32. Thanks for all the generous support! What an amazing experience this has been.
