Hi All! My name’s Henry. I’m a screenwriter and producer. I’m currently in pre-pro on a TV Pilot and looking for guidance on where to submit once completed. Also curious if there are any people from my neck of the woods on here, and also if anyone has any advise about legitimate representation for management and/or an agency out East. Good to meet you All! Hope to talk soon!
Good to meet you, Henry Columbare, and welcome to the community! Oh, wow, congratulations on your pilot! That's fantastic! What is it about? Will you be filming in New England as well?
Hmm, that's a very good question. Are pilots distributed any place in particular before they are greenlit? I'm sure you could send it out via the film festival circuit, but is that really the way of it? I would suggest posting in the Distribution Lounge to see if anyone there has any suggestions: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/distribution You can also ask in the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing) - I have a feeling some members that frequent there might have more insights into this topic as well.
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!

Nice to meet you, Henry! I'm not from New England but have spent a ton of time in CT and Salem, MA is my favourite place on Earth. Good luck on the pilot, would love to know more! Kick some ass!

Hey Henry. I like where you're going with 'Trunk' - I'm a DP just over in VT. Would love to chat more if you're looking for crew.
