Hello Stage 32. My name is Richard Gustason. I am a screenwriter, do some acting work, done some stand up comedy and just retired as a referee for professional wrestling. Right now with life have to work a day job as a administrative assistant at a pediatric firm...while working to get a film made and also writing my new project. One of the best pieces of advise I can give anyone new here to the entertainment business is this: this is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't worry if your project doesn't get made right away. Remember, Rome was not built overnight. Look forward to meeting new faces while catching up with some old friends here periodically. Have a great weekend.

Hey, Richard Gustason! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and congrats on your film! Are you producing it then, not just writing it?
Oh, hey, I see you're from Colorado Springs! I went to the Colorado Film School/Regis University. CoSprings is often where we'd do our weekend getaways - one of my favorite restaurants is there!
That is EXCELLENT advice, sir! Would you be interested in participating in the “Monday Motivation" challenge I posted in the Producing Lounge? It's just a fun way to get to know people through their favorite quotes: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing/Monday-Motivation-No-one-can-ac...
I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but I'd LOVE for you to start a post in the Acting Lounge! Maybe you could talk about your stand-up comedy or your time in professional wrestling? https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect!
