Introduce Yourself : New South African Filmmaker by Willem Erick Saayman

Willem Erick Saayman

New South African Filmmaker

Hi everyone..

I'm a new Part time freelance Filmmaker based in Capetown South Africa.

I have been doing my own shortfilms since about 2017. Currently I'm busy producing my own limited series, and would love to connect with all of you for constructive feedback and such..

Hi Willem, I am an author living in Istanbul and recently submitted on of my books to completion to see if it is suitable for a film adaption. I am now in the process of submitting a trilogy of short thrillers that I think would make a great action movie. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. I have been to Capetown several times and love it there.

Hey, Willem Erick Saayman! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and welcome to the community! 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

Congrats on the success of your short films so far, that's great! If you have links to your work, be sure to post them to your profile as well. I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely check out the Filmmaking Lounge as well to connect with like-minded filmmakers: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing

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:
