Seeking Producers For #MeToo-based Feature (UPDATED)

I have returned to Stage32 once again after nearly three months getting used to a new occupation under a temp agency at a furniture insurance company to provide new and updated information regarding a job posting I made a couple of months ago where I mentioned I was searching for someone who might be able to help me produce the first motion picture screenplay that I ever wrote since it was about time it finally got off the ground in some way, shape, or form. The status report thus far: The logline has been updated following a long period of time trying to see if anyone else had opinions about my previous version of it with very little results, and only one person has considered helping me out so far, despite nothing coming out of that encounter afterward. I apologize deeply if I have done very little so far to actually make the effort to self-promote my first screenplay in light of pretty much everything and anything going on in my life up to this point causing me to choose not to find time, but since it's now been more than five years since I first conceived the idea of "How does it feel to be a woman" in the first place, it's time for me to try once again to put myself and my work out there before I have to push that job posting deadline even further down the line!

I recently saw a motion picture released in the Fall of 2022 called "She Said," based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment and assault scandals that launched the #MeToo movement back in the latter half of 2017, starring Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan as two journalists representing The New York Times who made the surreal and prominent effort to make the allegations filed against the most powerful film producer in Hollywood known to the public. Like almost any other film I've ever seen, I personally thought that this movie was really interesting, not only being amazed of the on-screen dominance of the two female leads, but also once having me assume that this was basically a modern-day equivalent to "All the President's Men" (in light of that film covering two journalists for The Washington Post covering the Watergate scandal that led to U.S. President Nixon's downfall), even though I actually have never seen it; And then it had me wondering: What if the first film that I ever wrote was a spiritual successor to "She Said," as it covers the aftereffects of the #MeToo movement kicking in after Weinstein's career was sabotaged by the women who came forward to speak out against him, since it's set in 2018, preferably early 2018 even? Now that I found out about "She Said," and as I await to see if anyone else could ever write a film about the same things that I have and see if it sells, my longtime "How does it feel to be a woman" project has a whole new meaning.

It's been a lifelong dream of mine to see my work being shown how it's supposed to be intended, and anytime could not be a more better time for me to finish what I have started. If I can do anything to take into account the advice given to me by my Stage32 peers in an efficient matter from this point forward, I'll do it, but then again, it shouldn't be a surprise if I procrastinate once more and leave my Stage32 account in the dust because of "other priorities," but hey, I'm here to sell myself and actually build on that promise, not make fun of myself and treat all of this like it's a mere joke! As always, more details about this particular job posting can be found at the link at the end of this paragraph. Feel free to comment below as well if you think there may be anything you're familiar with that could help me make this project and everything that I do with it even better (or call me out for not putting my foot forward enough; I deserve it). Expect for me to post more job postings like this in the near future, by the way...
