Introduce Yourself

Hi, Priya Balaji. Welcome to the community. You're doing great. You filled out your profile, posted your loglines on your profile, made a post in the Screenwriting Lounge, and you're introducing yourself. Here's a blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry professionals: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

Thank you Maurice Vaughan! You’ve been very encouraging and your inputs for my logline were very helpful!

Welcome, Priya Balaji ! Good to have you here on Stage 32. A big part of Stage 32 is the social media element. Exploring the lounges, and then posting, commenting, etc. are great ways to make connections. Like most things, it takes a little time and you tend to get out of it what you put into it.

Thank you Maurice for the information.

Hi, Deborah Charman. Have you emailed writerhelp@stage32.com?

Dominion sounds interesting, John Vazquez! If you’re looking to get feedback on your pilot script, Stage 32 has feedback services (www.stage32.com/scriptservices).

You could post your pilot script on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your script on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

I suggest adding a detailed bio to your profile. It’ll help you build relationships/network on here. You could add things to your bio like why you became a screenwriter, your accomplishments, your goals, and what movies and shows you like.

Thank you Maurice Vaughan, I really do appreciate the advice! I'll make sure to post my pilot and update my bio. I’m excited to explore Stage 32 more and get involved.

You're welcome, John Vazquez. Looking forward to staying in touch on here! If you ever have any questions about Stage 32, let me or another Lounge Moderator know. We have badges on our pictures. Or you could email support@stage32.com.

John Vazquez Awesome, I wish you nothing but luck! I'm currently re-writing my first script (spec as well). Some next steps I'll be taking: creating my portfolio, hopefully reaching out and looking for representation (manager, to start), then starting my next screenplay.

Thank you Ryan Wilford wish you luck as well.

Thanks, Pamela Jaye Smith. Best to you with your projects!

Thank you very much, too, Maurice.

You're welcome, Pamela Jaye Smith.

Welcome, Sylvia!

Thank you, Stephanie T. Heden

Hi, Vanessa Smith. Welcome to the community. A stop-motion adult animated series about clown dolls navigating life together sounds interesting! I'd definitely watch it.

If you’re looking for advice and insight on raising funds, I suggest making a post in the Financing/Crowdfunding Lounge (www.stage32.com/lounge/fundraising) and checking out the Financing Blogs (www.stage32.com/blog/tags/financing-85).

Thanks Maurice! I'll make sure to check the crowdfunding lounge out soon.

You're welcome, Vanessa Smith. You could post your pilot script and info about your sitcom on your profile. Producers and other members might read about your series and want to join your project. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your script and info on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Hi, Klaus Brauer. My phone has a feature where I can watch a Zoom video over my web browser, letting me see the Stage 32 tool bar. Your phone might have that feature. I have a Samsung Galaxy. To use the feature, I push the button in the bottom left-hand corner. The button is three vertical lines.

Thank you for the feedback Maurice. I really appreciate you taking the time. As I previously said I am completely new to screen writing although I do believe I have various great ideas. I am finally taking steps to express my creativity. Is there anyway we can connect further and have a conversation?

This is a good premise. instantly reminding me of info wars and Alex jones. I love a good conspiracy theory its also reminds me of Conspiracy theory with Mel Gibson except in that one he's a taxi driver. I recommend making Mike as memorable as possible so people dont just think he is just some cooky conspiracy theorist. give him depth and personality and I think it will pay off.

Thank you for your reply Bobby, It is funny you mention Alex jones because as I have plans to incorporate him into the story when I start writing the script bear in mind this is just a rough concept for now I have many ideas for this and many angles to take. Again than you for your feedback.

You're welcome, James Hannah. I just replied to your message. And here's a blog for up-and-coming screenwriters I suggest checking out: www.stage32.com/blog/the-questions-up-and-coming-screenwriters-need-to-a...

Hey James, have you heard of the Mel Gibson movie, “Conspiracy Theory”?

A taxi driver with a penchant for conspiracy theories becomes a target after one of these theories turns out to be true. Unfortunately, to save himself, he has to figure out which theory it is.

Maurice, me too! Can't wait to see the movie! :)

I'm also looking forward to staying in contact and seeing the projects your company makes, Stephanie T. Heden!

Wow. What an incredible journey! It sounds like you're taking the right steps.
