Hi everyone! I am Josh. I wrote a script (a bleak, depressing, awful sci-fi that will leave you feeling empty inside - it's also pretty hopeful). I don't know what to do with it and I have absolutely NO connections to anyone in the industry. I like sci-fi, action, and drama. The composer Shiro Sagisu is brilliant. I think our species might be doomed, but that just gives us more to write and talk about so it's all good! I am waiting to add a real picture of me until I can think of a cool pose to be in - until then I have added a chunky cat as my profile picture; I also like fat, chunky cats. But anyway - nice to meet everyone!

No problem, Joshua Norton. I was a clueless newbie once. Are you a Sci-Fi writer, or do you write other genres too?

I also like small city/town dramas.

Cool, Joshua Norton. I like to write small-town scripts. I think one reason is because I'm from a small town. I like to mix genres when I write scripts too. Do you ever mix genres?

Mixing genres is awesome - David Lynch is a great example of bringing in strange factors to small town settings. Combos that I think are particularly interesting is grounded, military action with fantastical elements (like Metal Gear Solid) - or small-town dramas with an undertone of cosmic horror.
David Lynch is a phenomenal director/writer/producer, Joshua Norton! I've heard of Cosmic Horror, but I haven't written one yet. I want to. I played Metal Gear Solid growing up. I want to see a Metal Gear Solid movie!

Welcome to Stage 32, Joshua Norton! The best way to network here on Stage 32, is to be involved and active within the lounges on a regular basis. You can find them all by clicking here: https://www.stage32.com/lounge
I also suggest that you replace the headshot on your account with an actual photo of yourself. It's always easier to network with people when they can connect a face to a name. It adds a personal touch that can be so important online. =)
