Introduce Yourself

Hi, Maurice. I am working on a three-part mini series - at least that is what it would have go be; suitable for Netflix, for example. Thanks for asking.

You're welcome, Dale Reynolds. What genre(s) is your mini series?

Hello Maurice. My intended mini-series is a drama. LIFT OF THE WIND is based on the actual experiences of a young soldier who gets bashed around by the Army, and in Vietnam he finally gets an assignment he shouldn't have wished for - door gunner on a Huey. The man it's based on has enjoyed a good number of clicks (not Vietnam clicks) on YouTube, for his interview on his V experiences. Thanks for your query.

Hi Dale Reynolds - it's great to see you here on IYW! I'm the Head of Certification here at Stage 32 and will be in London in a few weeks representing Stage 32 and hosting a panel at Focus London at the Business Design Center on December 10th at 5:10pm. I'd love to see Stage 32 members there. Focus is free to attend (but you do need to register in advance). Here's a link with some information on the panel - hope to see you there: https://focus.london/newfront/sessions/1197

You're welcome, Dale Reynolds. LIFT OF THE WIND sounds interesting! I like the title! How far are you with the mini-series?

Hi Jack Binder thank you for sharing and it's great to meet you! We can't wait to have you on the Writers' Room webcast this week!

Maurice Vaughan Thanks Maurice! Yes indeed with friends in LA!

@samrivera Thank you! Looking forward as well!

You're welcome, Jack Binder. Hope you and your friends have a great time together on Thanksgiving!

Hi Jack Binder - its always a pleasure to see you here. Have an awesome rest of your week!

Welcome John Michael German ! It is great to have you here . Thank you for being a part of the community. What else are you working on? Curious to hear.

Well said John Michael German

Hello:

In regard to the Humble Apologies, I wrote that in 2018. I like to spread goodwill, kindness, and love to women - especially those in businesses like Hooters. In case anyone, indirectly or directly, has made them feel less than what truly each always root.

Beyond that, as my profile and loglines specify, I have done tons of writing. Plenty of poetry. Also helping to judge for a Winter Festival in NY remotely. Plenty of aspects outside of that as well (E-mail marketing for holistic measures, social media management, etc.).

Written wise outside of poetry, I am thinking of writing one of the two or both:

1. 10 lives: To save society from catastrophic apocalypse, Meranda must outduel evil to ward off their murderous plot to end her life, which would end the world as well. Each time she dies, humanity draws closer annihilation.

2. A horror story about human's as actual voodoo dolls.

MAGA MAHA!

God Bless,

John German

Hello, Art. Thanks for your reply. I am not financed yet, but there has been keen interest in this under-exposed project. Please may I have your email address at my address: writdale@gmail.com. If I get the finance, I can then send you a message. Thanks again for your message.

Dale Reynolds I sent you an email. Feel free to respond there. Thank you!

Hi Art Arutyunyan - it's great to see you here on IYW! I see that some of your work has been in Louisiana. Do you have infrastructure set up down there or do you produce wherever each project is best suited?

Sam Sokolow I have a business partner who lives near New Orleans, so yes. At the same time, if a project comes along that's best suited for someplace else, I welcome it.

Sam Sokolow Let me know if you need any help in Louisiana or otherwise.

Thanks Maurice Vaughan. I have problems not doing something! Working with a mentor pushes you beyond your comfort zone and provides wisdom beyond your awareness. Definitely recommend!

Hello Dale Reynolds. Happy to have a conversation with you about it to understand more. I'm not far from London but will drop you an email. Thank you.

Thanks Mary Helen Norris. Here's the first 7 minutes of Episode 1 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoD6Wi9BsVI. Full episode out next week. It's really been fun (and a little nerve-racking) stepping into The Doctor's shoes!

You're welcome, Edward Terry. That's great! I've never had a one-on-one mentor, but I've had professionals give me advice/insight and push me to finish projects. It was helpful. I might get a one-on-one mentor one day. Do you have any plans for the holidays?

Thank you, Edward Terry. I look forward to your email. I am by experience an Anglo-American and London is a great theatre city and it's great in post-production of movies in particular. I have material suitable for both the UK and the US, and other places. I've also had some of my work translated into German and Russian, so I suppose it can be transferred to anywhere. Thanks for reading. Dale Reynolds writdale@gmail.com

Heyyy Suzanne Bronson !!! I will def. Come and check it out :)

Welcome to the Stage 32 community, Ashley Kay! We're so excited to have you here!

The best way to network here on Stage 32, is to put yourself out there by posting, commenting, and connecting with people from all over the world. The most effective networking comes from building genuine relationships over time. A great way to start is by checking out the Acting and Filmmaking Lounges where you can join discussions, pose questions that you may have, provide advice or insights, and share news/announcements that interest you.

You can find the lounges through the toolbar at the top of your browser window. Simply click on "Lounge", which will direct you to a new page listing all the current lounges available to you!

Awesome Ashley!!! Thank you soo much for the helpful info!!

You're so welcome, Ashley Kay!

Kerry...I studied under the great Joe Morello of the Dave Brubeck 5 back in the early 1960s. Then I got sidetracked by the British Invasion and switched to rock music. Totally lost my early Jazz mojo.

Hi Kerry Kennard it's great to meet you and thank you for sharing! Do you have any favorite Jazz musicians?

Hey Kerry Kennard, great to meet..again :) I actually learn some new things about you with this post. Also, love the website layout! I'm a stickler when it comes to easy navigation on website and landing pages lol.

Hi Cyrus Sales , thank you it needed an overhaul. Now for more sales. :~) adding great value to other clients.

HI Ms. Rivera, nice meeting you as well. Dave Weckyl has been a fav. drummer - he's more into Funk and Jazz genres. Miles Davis (Tpt) is one fav. musician. I've always admired Alex Acuna as percussionist and drummer growing up. I admire Bob Mintzner -Sax player, as well as Omar Hakim - another drummer. He has some great music with grooves.

Welcome to the community, Alexandros Karamanolis. It's great to meet you. Rise of Atlantis sounds interesting!

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/author, your accomplishments, your goals, and what movies/shows/books you like.

Here are blogs about networking/connecting with creatives: www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and your thoughtful suggestion! I really appreciate the advice about adding more detail to my bio I’ll definitely take the time to expand on it to share more about my journey and interests.

I’m thrilled to hear that Rise of Atlantis caught your attention! It’s a project I’m deeply passionate about, and I hope it resonates with others in the creative community here.

Also, thank you for sharing the blogs about networking. I’ll make sure to check them out they sound incredibly helpful for building meaningful connections. Looking forward to learning, growing, and connecting with talented creatives like you here on Stage 32!

The Rise of Atlantis definitely sounds ambitious Alexandros Karamanolis! Very cool, go for it!

Very interesting stuff all around Tiffany Downey! Duly noted, and thank you for sharing! Haunting of Hollywood sounds cool! Where are you guys at in the process? All finished?

THOH is finished and was being repped by a sales agent, but I believe the director is signing a new dist deal this week. We have been festivals so far.

Welcome to the club. :)

Tiffany Downey your offer to offer up Cherokee Studios as an in-kind investment is really exciting. That is a classic studio in Hollywood! I will definitely keep this in mind.

Congrats Tiffany Downey, looks like a great studio
