Hey everyone,
My name's Karl, but I prefer Gianni. First off, I'm thrilled to join this burgeoning community of overflowing with true creators who I'm sure are just as passionate as I am about putting their content out into the world!
I've been in the journalism, media and entertainment industry since I was 18 and I've been at it for almost 11 years! Both industries truly are my passion. I've done a whole lot, however, I've been focusing on digital media and film production since late 2019 and I've never been more passionate about anything!
With lots of blood, sweat and tears, I launched my first television show and YouTube series, 876 Questions in October 2020 and I'm now focused on launching my new company, Kontent Studios, to continue to showcase the stories and perspectives of Jamaicans and Caribbean people worldwide. But this is just the beginning!
Feel free to connect and check out some of my work as I do the same!

Congrats!
Thank you Martin!
Great to meet you, Karl Antonio Larmond, and welcome to the community! Oh, cool! I love your mission to lift up Jamaican stories! One of my students showed me this indie feature that his brother was in - maybe you can connect with the filmmakers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Aa2QR6tUcs
You may have already discovered the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing), but I'd love for you to check out and post in the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing) as well - perhaps you could share a little about what you've learned since starting your podcast?
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! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time. Cheers!
