New to Stage32 and excited to be here!
I'm a writer and developer, here in Los Angeles, working in both scripted and unscripted. I spent the last few seasons as a casting AP for MTV's Catfish: The Series but now, I'm taking this pandemic time to develop my own projects which include raising two amazing daughters and logging more hours on Final Draft than I do sleeping.
Can't wait to connect!

Hey, Chandler Bolt! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and excited to have you here! Wow, congrats on your accolades, your extra writing time, and your awesome father-time! Where are you in the writing process? Do you need feedback before your next revision or are you revving up to pitch? Definitely reach out to our Director of Script Services, Jason Mirch, who is excellent at matching projects with potential executives (or managers, in your case): J.Mirch@stage32.com
You should definitely jump in on the November Write Club: https://www.stage32.com/blog/The-Stage-32-November-Write-Club-is-Back-Wh... It's a great event to gain some inspiration and accountability! Also, this weekend is Introduce Yourself Weekend, so stop back through, comment and meet some new people!
I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but I'd LOVE for you to post in the Producing Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing I've done some work in reality TV as well - maybe you could start a post about what it's like doing casting AP work?
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! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time.
