Are you ready to write your feature film screenplay while being mentored by a world class executive?

If so, this exclusive interactive Stage 32 writing lab is for you! But spots are going fast so you'd better grab your spot now!

Guiding you on your writing journey to a finished screenplay is one of Stage 32's most sought after educators, Thomas Pemberton. Thomas is the Development Executive at the global production company Mind's Eye Entertainment, which has produced over 60 feature film and television projects.

Thomas has a keen eye for great material and is quick to champion material he believes in. He's discovered three writers through Stage 32 who now have their projects under option with Mind’s Eye Entertainment!

Over 12 intensive weeks, Thomas will work closely with you to outline, write, and actually complete your feature film screenplay.

Thomas will lead intimate group sessions where he will offer notes and guidance on specific portions of each writer’s screenplay or vision documents, incrementally and methodically working towards a completed and polished product. You will also work one-on-one over Zoom with Thomas and will have direct access to Thomas over email for the duration of the lab.

You will additionally have the benefit of getting support, feedback, and perspective from the other members of the lab, as well as the opportunity to offer your own for their projects.

This is a perfect time to take control of your creative career and give yourself the accountability and guidance you need to take this leap and write a screenplay that you can be proud of... and that will get you noticed.

You will walk away from this 12 week lab with a completed feature film screenplay in-hand that has been vetted by a top executive that you can share with studios, financiers, agents and managers!

"What I most like about working with Stage 32 is finding new writers. We have optioned three projects that have come through Stage32. The range and variety of material is amazing, so whatever you are looking for they have got something for you." -- Thomas Pemberton

Praise For Thomas' Stage 32 Teaching:

"Thomas was instrumental in helping me get to that glorious 'Fade Out' at the end of my screenplay. After working with Thomas I feel confident that my script is ready to be read by executives and reps!" -- Sabrina S.

"I didn't realize how much I didn't know about story structure and dialogue before working with Thomas. He opened my eyes to all the nuances in writing that I apply to all my work now." -- Sam B.

"Felt so good to get to the end of my script! Thank you, Thomas, for your expert guidance. This course has truly been invaluable!" -- Liam R.

Each week, Thomas will delve into a specific planning document or sequence of each student’s script, offer feedback, and assign a new document or sequence to be written for the next session. Thomas will conclude the lab with a one-on-one final evaluation with each student where he gives feedback on the screenplay draft as a whole and ideas on how to move forward. Each class will include a Q&A with Thomas where you can ask him specific questions about your project.
