Hello Everyone! Great to be here! Stage 32 has such a positive vibe that no other platform can replicate, and it's an absolute pleasure to be part of the community. I digress...
My name is Ben Fox, I am a filmmaker based in the UK. I've been a 'you-tuber' for many years and it's time to go to the next level..
I have tonnes of original projects, pitches and screenplays in development, from high concept Sci-fi to unscripted reality; most of which I will be making pilots for in the near future. My approach to work is very hands on, I direct, write, shoot and edit myself.
I look forward to connecting with creative producers and artists who can develop these visions into reality!
Again, lovely to be here, it's a very special place.

Welcome, Ben Fox! So great to meet you! Aww, thanks so much for that shout-out - we're quite proud of our "positive vibe", too. Congrats on your short film! Was there an inspiration for it?
Ooo, I'd love to know more about your one-man show! When you can do so many roles, what is your biggest hurdle? I actually just started a conversation about self-sufficiency - I'd love for you to jump in and share your perspective! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing/Too-Self-Sufficient-For-Your-Own-Good
Actually, there are more than a few conversations from our most recent Top 10 Posts I think you'd enjoy: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Top-10-Lounge-Posts-Responding-in-Kind

Hey Kay! Thank you for your ever so kind message :). For some one who has fell out of love with social media, this platform is a blessing! So Thank you!
The Film honestly was pretty random! Something deep inside triggered my to write it out in a one take!
Biggest hurdle, I think being stretched- always pulled in different directions... It comes to a point you have to say NO! to the external and trust and follow your intuition....
Will deffo check out your conversation on self sufficiency :)
And Yes I had my first pitch on Sunday (nerves were real) but feel so happy I did and ready for the next one (insert muscle emoji)
Jason has been a fab help too!
Thanks for reaching out :) :)
