Hey, Stage 32!
My name is Tennyson E. Stead, and I'm now in the process of wrapping up the third feature script I've ghostwritten in 2022. To me, this feels like the year my career starts being recognizable as the thing I've always wanted to build. My financing efforts on Quantum Theory, my sci-fi heist movie, are coming together. I'm planning to direct an indie drama at the end of this year. I'm starting to buy art for a project called Jump Rangers, my TTRPG and novel series about little kid space commandoes fighting space dinosaurs and giant robots to reclaim Earth and our future among the stars.
Plus, I'm writing a ton of commissioned work. Smash Girl, my punk rock superhero spec, is getting a lot of much deserved attention. Two years ago, I was just a homeless cripple to most of the people who know me. I'm on a very promising trajectory, and I'm ready to fire the next stage of the rocket.
My blog this month was on how to network without coming off as needy, slimy or gross, and I recommend it to anyone who's struggling with how to build their community in the film industry: https://www.stage32.com/blog/How-To-Network-Without-Using-People
I hope everyone's having a great weekend, and I'm looking forward to seeing who's new on the site! Welcome to Stage 32, everybody! Happy February!

Hey Tennyson. Congrats on all you have going on. I'm NYC based and readying a feature I wrote that I hope to direct this fall.

You're not doing half-bad yourself, Richard "RB" Botto!
