So I finally started pitching - no small feat for me as I prefer to write over speak. On my second pitch, I received a request to read the script from a producer right here on Stage32. Woohoo! Not sure how often they request to read, but this was a nice email to receive. Now I have 72 hours to do a final read through and polish before sending it off - wish me luck.

Wishing you all the VERY BEST, Joe! (I'm one who'd rather do a written pitch than a verbal one, too!)

Jim, coincidentally I just turned in a written pitch. Let me agree with you right here: so much better for me! Haha!

I did this one verbally. If you can push yourself to do it, I think it helps to connect. Maybe try loosely reading a written pitch during a verbal session. Thats what I did my first time ;)

This is great Joe Thayer! It is no easy feat to get the request when producers and industry pros are hearing SO many pitches and taking in so many scripts - both in their day jobs and as a part of Stage 32. So this is a pretty big feather in the cap.

@paula I did. They liked the pitch and requested the script. Just sent it in, but it could take a few months to hear back.

Joe, keep your contacts close to the vest and speak publicly when ink dries on contract. Good Luck, man!

We are working hard with Cindy Villarreal who's been the catalyst for getting us a deal to go a major streaming service. I met Cindy here for a Pitch Session and she and I signed an agreement in September, 2021 right after my pitch session with her.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CINDY with Stage32. She is the BEST in the Business. Schedule a pitch with her. She's tough, she's forthright, she'll kick your butt and you'll appreciate it and thank her.
This has been a 22 yr journey for me. I want to thank 7-Time Emmy Winner Daniel F Curry (STAR TREK), Michael Demerrit and many others for their countless hours helping me and Gary Hauger, my co-creator/writer with Abaddon. A 2-part pilot and 6 episodes are scheduled. I have a prequel, an origin story, a side story, a spin off and finale planned.
Whoever tells you it can't be done, or "Just give it up, you'll never do it..." IGNORE THEM and KEEP THE FAITH as my late friend, Richard Hatch always told me.
