Hello Everyone,
I'm a filmmaker/screenwriter and director living in Orlando, Florida, although not my full-time job. I love to write horror, horror/comedy, and fantasy as well. I usually write character-driven stories that deal with characters that don't fit in and that are different and unique. I do write a lot and looking a shooting a short this year. But my big thing is to stop being scared about writing and doing pitches for my horror/ comedy TV pilot that I shot last year. I would love to connect with fellow filmmakers, writers, and producers and hear your story as well.

Nice to meet you Chris, have you heard about "A Reservation"? It;s a terrifying movie about the people your parents should have warned you about. it's in post now soon. The screenplay was written by it's first time director Paul Wilson, and his writing partner Rose Of Sharon Stoneall. Both of whom play significant roles in the film.

Nice to meet you, Darren. I haven't heard about that film. I will have to look for it. It does sound terrifying.

Hey, Chris. How's it been? What's making you scared about writing and pitching your pilot?

I understand the nerves about pitching and putting work out into the world. It has been my experience that Stage 32 is a safe place to ask questions and get feedback. Welcome to Stage 32, Chris!

Hey Maurice, It's been good. Thanks for asking. I guess just hoping they will like your project as much as you do. Being able to talk about it under pressure and then writing a good pitch.

Hi GiGi, nice meeting you. Yes I am. I have been to the pitch practice. Working on getting my pitch written up and the courage to go. Lol
I relate, Chris Ballinger. Those things become less with pitch. Have you seen this great webinar on pitching: www.stage32.com/webinars/Pitching-Tips-from-the-Pros-Your-Blueprint-to-a...

Thanks, Maurice; no, I haven't seen that one. Thanks, Man, I appreciate it.
You're welcome, Chris.
Hi Chris. My name is Kevin Alexander. Im one week away from completing a screenplay based upon true events. The financing has already been arranged, but I can use the expertise of another writer who lives close to me before moving to the next step. I just became a member. Feel free to contact me if you would like to take a look at what I have. Thanks
