Hey there! I'm new to Stage 32 but have been writing screenplays for a few years now, with a particular interest in improving disability representation and participation in film. I currently have a feature in development and I'm working with some local producers/directors here in Northern Ireland on a number of projects but would love to connect with fellow creatives with similar interests elsewhere in the world.
Hi, Maura. Welcome to the community. I think you'll like the Screenwriting lounge. And funny sentence about your cat in your bio.

That’s a great quest I feel that’s a topic people want to discuss, but it’s too hard not to offend anybody.
Just don't let us get wet or feed us after midnight and you should be fine, Vincent ;-)
You're welcome, Maura. "Mews". That's funny.

Hi Maura. That's a wonderful goal! I have a learning disability which affects my short term memory and I feel that a lot of movies don't depict people with disabilities as strong, capable people. I am also working on songwriting with a friend who has William's Syndrome and my friend and I are both writing lyrics and are working on music about fighting for equality for people with disabilities. I love that you're bringing awareness to the industry.

Hey Maura Campbell that's a great topic to write about these days. I have a similar interest in discussing important topics related to good mental health, body positivity, and stopping bullying. It is great to see more people discussing important issues in their scripts. Keep up the great work!
