I'm Tanatswa. Your typical, quirky creative who left their job to pursue filmmaking, content creation and writing full-time. I realized that I can't multi-task and have a conventional job while growing my creative career. It's either all or nothing. I made my account back in April but I'm starting to be active now. It's great to be apart of a network where I can connect with other creatives.
psssst, catch me now before I'm on Netflix lol
Hey, Tanatswa Taruvinga! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and welcome to the community! Wow, congrats on leaving behind the day job in favor of your passion! I was looking over your profile, but you don't have much there. Maybe you could use some of this post to help build up your bio!
I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely reach out on the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) for insight into characters, dialogue, and even when you want to generate interest in a virtual table read! Actually, as a filmmaker, I think you'd enjoy this "getting to know you" post in the FIlmmaking Lounge about the film that lit your fire: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing/The-Film-That-Lit-Your-Fuse
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.
