New to Stage 32! Looking forward to the interaction!

Hello! I recently heard about Stage 32 and am grateful to have a place to go where it's all people who know the pain and reward of creating film, TV, and theater content. I recently published a novel an the Syrian conflict (Looking Into the Sun) with the aim of raising awareness and donations for Save the Children to benefit Syrian kids. I also adapted a script from my novel and recently optioned it to Sleeperwave Films (now in development)! I'm excited to be a part of this process and hope to continue. For all of you more experienced screenwriters out there, I also just completed a separate script that a production company already owns the rights to the source material (a novel) - but has been dissatisfied with their current script for years now.... I figured I would give an adaptation a shot - but don't know how to get it in front of the Development Coordinator to see if they would be interested as I don't have an agent or manager...any suggestions other than a cold call or cold e-mail? Looking forward to making connections and supporting my fellow screenwriters! Cheers! Todd

Hi Todd!!

Todd Tavolazzi

Hi Dana! Saw your bio...pretty cool stuff! I like the documentary idea. I wanted to help children as well...your project sounds interesting. Would love to hear about your progress. When (and if) we get funding for "Homs," I'll let the casting director know about you - if you're available (whenever that may be...) Cheers!

Sadie Dean

Thanks Sadie and Shawn!

Dana Walsh

Very cool, thanks Todd! Let's talk about the Doc, I would love some input with it etc...I'm Producing, which haha...i love but don't want to, not on this. I was fortunate to find my Director, I just love her, she's super cool, her name is Elizabeth Mcdonald....just found her a few weeks ago she's on IMDB. I was looking for a Producer, but it's just happened the way its happened, and I've Produced before so i'm doing what needs to be done. I started Transcribing a bazillion hours of footage last night, so I should be done in a few years ;) It's all been done ass backwards so far because...well, I didn't know I was making a Documentary, so...Now I'm here and Elizabeth gets to take my mess, and mold it into the story it needs to be, because I'm definitely not a Director...I just have a really harsh but good story.
