I'm D. Christopher, also known as Donnie B. GotDaBeats. I am a multifaceted entertainer from Washington, D.C. who now lives in Los Angeles. I am looking to dive into the world of acting and screenwriting and build a network of people that I can work with to expand my creativity. I am currently searching for representation as I, along with my writing team, have developed concepts that are (or near) pitch ready. I hope to mingle with you all and build lasting relationships as I navigate the industry waters. All of my contact info is listed, but please reach out to me if you wish to learn more!
Hey, D. Christopher Campbell! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. If you'd like to learn more about myself and the Stage32 Team, we have an intro blog: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Meet-the-Stage-32-Team Nice to meet you and welcome to the community!
WHA?! I'm from the DMV as well! I just moved to LA a year and a half go! Do you ever get homesick? I'm mostly good with the fabulous weather and beaches except for April (the Cherry Blossoms) and October (the leaves!).
Congrats on your pitches! We have sessions for pitching to executives every week and often scheduled in advance: https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions 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 Also, if you want to practice your verbal pitch, I cannot recommend the Writer's Room enough! We host a weekly Pitch Practice Session every Thursday at 7pm PST. When you email Jason, ask for a link for your first month free!
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!
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. Cheers!

hey gotdabeats welcome to stage32! Do your projects have finished scripts yet or just show bibles or pitch decks? It's important to have a finished script when you pitch here, because if they like your pitch that is what they request: the script. if you're ready to go, you can take a look at the pitches available every weekend (under Scritp Services). Getting deeper feedback from a producers will cost you a little more but it's totally worth it every time. Good luck and I'm sure we'll connect in the future! Make sure to make your bio page, loglines, etc as rich as possible as I've been told producers do lurk around our bio pages. cheers!
