I am new to the scene as I just started making this my career 5 years ago.
I am a Television writer currently residing in Chicago, IL. I am also a Pakistani-American who is a veteran of the U.S. Army.
I ha've had all sorts of experiences in international business, health and wellness, start-ups, sales, and the corporate world. Back in May my family and I were planning to move to Los Angeles to pursue my writing career when my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
I have two completed pilots written, and four which I am reworking.
The Tunnels (Sci-Fi)
Heaven on Earth (Drama)
Looking forward to connecting!
Hello Farrakh, could you email me the script? www.ineditfilmworks.com
Great to meet you, Farrakh Khawaja, and welcome to the community! First, thank you for your service to our country. Second, I love Chicago! What brings you to Stage 32? Are you thinking to sell or produce your scripts?
You may have already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), 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! As you can imagine, virtual table reads have been very popular during the pandemic.
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 blog post on how to get the most out of 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!
Love it! Excited to see what is in your future, Farrakh
