Formally introducing myself. I'm Holly and I'm here for the food. :-) Food and camaraderie. I finished my first feature length screenplay right before Covid hit and lost my momentum, only recently picking it up a few weeks ago to re-work it. I have renewed energy in it and we'll see if anything happens. Getting ready to start writing the next one! Also learning German, because why not? Hobbies are fun.

Good to meet you, Holly Danelle, and welcome to the community! Hmm, I frickin' LOVE food! My hubby may have even made me homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese earlier today - forget chocolate and flowers, THAT is real love! LOL
Congratulations on finishing your first feature! Hey, no matter what revision you are on, it's worth it to take the victory of completion - some people never get that far! What's it about? Don't forget you can add the logline to your profile for feedback and so visiting members can more easily inquire about it: https://www.stage32.com/loglines
Hobbies ARE fun! And learning a new language is great for everyone, but especially actors. You may have already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but I'd love for you to check out the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) as well to meet like-minded creatives.
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!
Karen "Kay" Ross Thank you for the links! I'm still trying to find my way around, so this will definitely be helpful. My feature is a rom-com but I'm most proud of it passing the Bechdel test, which I think every rom-com should pass, but maybe that's just me. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm looking forward to seeing everything Stage32 has to offer. Have an amazing weekend!

Hey Holly. Welcome. I had a feature script near go into production then COVID hit. My window closed. COVID had a way of creatively stifling us, did me for a bit.. Keep writing!!

Know that lost momentum feeling all too well. Glad you're back on the saddle!
