I feel like once in a while it's a good idea to re-introduce myself here. Stage 32 has a population big enough to form its own country! I've got experience working on short and feature films but my world has become wrapped around creating opportunities for indie filmmakers by way of the smartphone camera. So if you are curious about mobile filmmaking with smartphones, I founded the pioneer film festival dedicated to movies shot with smartphones back in 2009 and it's based in San Diego. I also host a podcast and launched the first streaming platform service for smartphone films and videos. Hope to meet you! Follow your dream and stay creative, every day. Best wishes to all of you!

Thanks for the link and the invite. I checked out the website. I just write scripts though. I don't direct or produce.

LOL! We DO have a population big enough to form its own country - good point! Wow, how cool is that?! Congrats on hosting such a successful film festival for so long, that's awesome! Are you still creating films as well?
Actually, I'd LOVE for you to post in the Distribution Lounge! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/distribution Maybe you could discuss how your festival adapted during COVID and the opportunities for your selected films/filmmakers to find distribution as things changed?
Ooo, maybe you could even post about making films with mobile devices in the Filmmaking Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing Other members would absolutely love to learn from your experience!
Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect!
Thank you, Karen "Kay" Ross! I am adding this to my MUST do list. Your questions drew up a lot of topics I could share. I appreciate the invitation.
