I see Potential

I see potential in many things, and how content can go. Like with Disney, I have ideas that could take things to the next level. Like how American Dragon: Jake Long and the High School Musical franchise could help influence kids away from gangs, drugs, and ADJL getting spin-offs; and that some of th...

your goal is too ambitious. We need to move from small to big, from simple to complex. I'm not saying that you can't succeed. However, your approach can lead to depression and frustration. People need...

Holiday Support Thread - You're Not Alone.

Hi Stage 32 family. I know the holidays can be a very joyous time for people, but it can also be a very lonely and isolating time for many. I wanted to start a lounge thread for those of you who may not have the support you need during the holiday time. I want you to know that you are seen and you a...

Merry Christmas to you all. I once found help for Music and Magic. But they backed out. Does anyone know a way to pitch Music and Magic to Disney, and help make my dreams come true?

Maurice Vaughan

Merry Christmas, Kevin Hager!

Thank you, with the new Year approaching I just want to see my dreams come true.

You're welcome, Kevin Hager. Hope your dreams come true.

A difficult project

Sorry for the delay. I have a female-driven script, based on my book The Three Verbs of Being. Not many understand the rarity and gravity of the true-to-life story I personally witnessed during the prewar days of Raj at Shimla the simmer capital of Imperial India. !933-1944 period. All my writings a...

Home Alone

How does this sound: A game show based on Home Alone. Were contests doge obstacles to protect valuables from the burglars and setting traps for them and avoiding the burglars and their own traps.

Artificial Intelligence Deepfake Videos

I was searching for interviews with Russell Crowe about "Gladiator 2". I found one and I listened to it, thinking that I listened to the real Russell Crowe.

I posted the video in a Stage 32 discussion about "Gladiator 2" and not long after that I looked again on that YouTube channel and I saw that th...

Short film creators group

Is anyone in the San Diego area interested?

Carmen Smith

I just moved here and would like to connect with like-minded others who are serious about getting together to create short drama, horror, and thriller films (no-budget) to further our careers.

Suzanne Bronson

Hi Carmen. A great way to meet fellow creatives in your area is to start a monthly in person Stage 32 meet up. I suggest looking at the meetups tab for ideas. you'll see there's other ones happening....

Amanda Toney

I agree with Suzanne. Also, get in touch with Ashley, our head of Community and she will help send out a notice to fellow San Diego Stage 32ers about the meetup: Send her an email at community@stage32.com.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone, since it only a few days away. Right now, I still want to work in entertainment media. I have ideas but also would like to make contributions to areas like Disney, the Simpsons, and others. Once Upon a Tim in Disney, and Music and Magic are gifts and contributions to Disney.

Is there anyone who would like to help me?

Maurice Vaughan

Merry Christmas, Kevin Hager!

Maurice Vaughan sadly the UK government seems to accept the developer's use of copyrighted material at prima facie value. For me, it’s like they don’t want to get in the way of what they consider to b...
