Happy Halloween week everyone! I really enjoyed Rolling Stone Magazine's list of their top 101 horror movies of all time. Jaws made their list so it has to be my #1 on it but also love the original Halloween and Get Out. What's your favorite horror movie on this list? https://www.rollingstone.com/tv...

My favorite Horror movie on the list is The Thing, Sam Sokolow.

You're welcome, Sam Sokolow.
It was only last weekend that I was at Tribeca-Lisbon. There was so much energy there, that I think I had elevated levels of dopamine!
It was my first Tribeca experience and the first time I’d been to a film festival representing a film. Sandra and I met so many wonderful people and I think there is...

Awesome interview Geoff Hall. Great seeing you at Tribeca, with all the atmosphere and good vibes to go with it!
Eon C. Rambally thanks Eon. It was an amazing experience and so encouraging for the future of new storytellers.
Maurice Vaughan agreed, Maurice. With Stage32, we have the opportunity to learn about the industry in a deep and meaningful way. Onwards and upwards!
Looks like a fun time Geoff Hall. And cool photo. Which film were you there representing?
Hi Stephen Folker I was there representing Seeing Rachel. Yes, it was a fun time. Thanks.

I just want to take a minute to thank my family, friends, girlfriend, screenwriting/filmmaking/Stage32 community and everyone who helped make The Connection happen.

Hopefully the studios are planning for more production on the lots, Xochi Blymyer. Why build the stages if they're not gonna use them? I doubt they're building the lots just to be building them. Do yo...

What's up, Stage32 fam? It's been a minute since I've been on here. I've been in a deep creative zone for the past year and a half. During that time, I conceptualized a wild, unique, fun idea that's been bouncing around in my head for quite a while. I took my time, gathered my resources, assembled a...

Pat Alexander it's a unique take on influencer culture and the negative effects of social media!
@Trey Congratulations! I’m really looking forward to this. Hope to see on festival circuit soon. Social media truly is a double edged sword. Who is really who? Too many now think a “friend” is a “blue tick” or “red heart.”
Debbie Croysdale 100%! Can't wait for you to see it!
That sounds really interesting, Trey Alessio!
My film, The Connection, is finally here! Thanks for all your support! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo1VhPVgRYo
