Introduce Yourself : New kid on the block by Alex J. Pires

New kid on the block

Hey there Stage 32 community! Alex Pires here. I'm an Actor and web series creator based in NYC. I'm simply looking to connect with artists who are serious about getting things done. I'm passionate about quality and content. So if this sounds like you let's make it happen!

Richard "RB" Botto

You're in the right place, Alex. Great to have you in the mix.

Alex J. Pires

Thanks for the welcome Richard! I recently watched an interview of yours on Film Courage and it was great. You definitely only get what you put into a site. That's why I'm here. To make legitimate connections and collaborate with talented artists!

Richard "RB" Botto

Appreciate you watching that video, Alex. Hope you'll share it with others who could benefit. And you're absolutely right, you get out what you put it. Too many people stand on the sidelines waiting for things to happen. In the 7 years running this platform, I've yet to see that work for anyone. Having said that, I look forward to your contributions and hope you'll be active posting some quality content/discussions in the Acting and other Lounges. Cheers.

Alex J. Pires

Already have! One thing you'll come to know about me is I'm not a lazy Actor. I'm definitely looking forward to connecting with the community and having meaningful discussions! Speaking of which. What has you excited these days?

Richard "RB" Botto

Love your energy, my friend. As for me, too many things, honestly. A film I was on the producing team for is coming out this week - We've been chronicling the story on the blog - https://www.stage32.com/blog/What-Lies-Ahead-Part-4 - I'm in pre-production on another. My book was released on audiobook last week and immediately went to #1 in 5 film and business related categories - https://www.amazon.com/Crowdsourcing-Filmmakers-Indie-Power-Crowd-dp-B07N6KTR7Y/dp/B07N6KTR7Y/ref=mt_audio_download?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=

And that's just for starters. Plenty of good things happening. Just pushing the boulder up the hill every day. Cheers.

Whoaa! Congrats man, that's sick! Working behind the camera is a whole different beast, am I right? Learning that big time for my web series. I'll check out your blog and book

I've always enjoyed the business and the creative. Producing, in many ways, is not unlike running a business like this. It's planning, puzzle pieces, problem solving and keeping things positive and moving.

I appreciate all the good words, my friend.

Alex J. Pires

Interesting.. Have you produced something you've also acted in?

Richard "RB" Botto

Theater. Last film I acted in: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8140328/?ref_=nv_sr_1 - Yet to be released.

Alex J. Pires

Dope! What was that experience like?

Richard "RB" Botto

Spoke about it in length on this podcast https://indiefilmhustle.com/crowdsourcing-richard-botto/

I did write it Courtney so I'd be glad to check out SoCreate. And I'll be sure to check that out Richard!
