A small win today: my first successful cold query script request! I know, hope-lust is unnecessary—a request to read simply a request to read.
It feels good though.

Hey all! I’ve tried film school twice, but never actually started because of financial issues. HOWEVER! As a disabled veteran, I now have access to a benefit that will allow me to finally do it without worrying about money. BUT! Now my worry has changed.
I’m 48 years old. Am I too old to be just getting started in filmmaking?
acting has no age range. 40's, 50's even 60 year olds still act. I myself went through John Casablanca and would recommend them to everyone. they will teach you the in's and out's of acting and modeli...

Andrew Gardner You're not too old at all, but it does depend on what you are expecting and what you want to do. Many parts of the industry favor experience over youth by definition. Writing for instan...

There's no such thing as too old, but there is a such thing as too tired. Starting a new career like screenwriting takes an enormous amount of energy to do it in a way that will make you successful. If you got it, you got it, even if you're 99, and if you don't you don't even if you're 19.
There are songs you write…
…and then there are songs you live.
I wrote this piano piece, Ember, during a moment where I felt something deeply… but couldn’t act on it.
That quiet intensity.
That ache that doesn’t go away.
That kind of feeling that just… lives in you.

Kat Spencer It's beautiful and haunting.
Gave it a listen. Thanks for sharing this, Kat Spencer !
What I liked is that it doesn’t lunge for cheap drama. It stays in that suspended ache, like a thought you can’t quite put down and can’t quite...

What is the one thing in a script that still scares you or makes you feel you might not be able to pull it off?
I wanted to share a recent experience in case it helps others avoid a similar situation.
I was contacted by someone on Stage 32 using the name Michael R. Williams:
This individual expressed interest in my script and described a “collaborative development” p...

I don't have to worry about that cause I'm broke. I know if anybody contacts me, it won't be too make a buck off me.
Hi Chass!
We take situations like this very seriously. Our team has investigated this report, and the account in question has been removed from Stage 32. We have also taken steps to block and prevent t...

What if a cartoon world didn’t behave like one?
After years of development, I’ve just published my comic project “Pranky Wolf: Stories of the Ethereal Grove” on Amazon.
What started as a simple character concept evolved into a larger IP built around tone and attitude rather than traditional storyte...

I think anything is possible within animation and your concept sounds different and I would love to see it. King of the Hill for example is an adult comedy that is not over exaggerated or irreverent....

Kevin Jackson Thanks, I appreciate it. It’s actually about animals living like modern humans, but grounded in real behavior and character-driven humor. Glad it stands out....

Hello everyone. Thank you for taking a moment.
I’m an independent filmmaker currently refining the promotional trailer for my feature We Are Family. I’m looking for thoughtful, craft‑focused feedback from editors and filmmakers who understand pacing, clarity, tone, and audience expectation.

Hi David-is this a joke? This is what is called "AI slop." There is no "emotional arc." Pacing? The "actors" jump herky jerky and there is no editing-views are held too long and there is no continuity...

Thanks, Joe — I appreciate you taking the time to watch it and share your thoughts.
This is exactly why I posted it here before showing it to friends. I’m experimenting with an AI‑assisted workflow, an...
