Hey everybody! I'm joining Stage 32 as a way of diving into the deep end of the pool, but with floaties. There is obviously a lot of talent here and a lot to learn. I have aspired to be a writer since I was a kid and wrote a science fiction story at the age of 9. But I let life get in the way. I have an adventure filled life and a wild imagination that I hope to harness and put on the page to get it on the screen. I love movies and everything about what it takes to bring a crew of misfits together and create something cool that the whole world can enjoy. I'm looking forward to meeting many of you and hopefully working with many of you in the years to come. See you on the Silver Screen!

I have written TV commercials and corporate videos professionally for the last 20 years. but it took a global pandemic before I wrote my first feature film in 2020!! I am 55, and have written 2 more in 2022. never too late.

Welcome Mark. Same as you, began writing as a kid, even earned the RTVF degree in college, but life took over. Finally back in it and although not many understand what/why I'm doing this, it's been the best decision.

I totally understand. I know that I'm doing this for myself and not anybody else. There's a nice freedom in that. :)
Welcome to the community, Mark Ferland. "I have an adventure filled life and a wild imagination." Those will definitely help you write and produce scripts!

Welcome, fellow water-wings diver. I’m currently taking an intensive screenwriting class that is stretching my creativity over the limit, and I love it. Keep learning and creating.

Welcome Mark Ferland! I love what you're saying about being part of a bunch of people working to tell a story together. After my own version of an exiting, adventure-filled life, I'm enjoying composing for picture and helping to tell stories with music. I can't wait to see what you get to make out here!
