Hello Stage 32!

As you have likely heard by now, Stage 32 is screening the films affected by the recent SXSW cancellation (more info here, here, & here). The response has been magnificent, and we here at Stage 32 are in awe of the boundless support the entire world has for independent film.

When we first made the announcement on Monday, Variety, Screen Daily, IMDb, and Broadway World were quick to share our message. Since then, we have had over 50 publications, blogs, and fellow entertainment companies join the cause and the media requests keep rolling in faster than we can keep up! Additionally, and most rewarding, the Stage 32 community and filmmakers from every corner of the world have united to support the hardworking filmmakers, casts, and crews that are dealing with the cancellation of SXSW.

We wanted to share some of the most recent coverage.

That is just the tip of the iceberg! We want to give a resounding, shouted from the rooftops, THANK YOU to all of the folks that have come out to support.
