Happy New Year to all. I wanted to ask fellow writers/filmmakers whether any one has had any success recently with a pitching service as far as optioning. There are ton of online companies that claim they are the doorkeepers to success but I am searching for a company that really is connected to decision makers and not a network of more writing classes or more talks on how to prepare.

You can’t do better than the resources here at Stage 32!
Hi, Zak. I haven't had any scripts optioned, but I've sold four short scripts through Stage 32. I've also received great feedback through Stage 32's Pitch Sessions that helped me rewrite my pitches and my scripts, which led to script requests.

Hi Zak! Have you checked out our Pitch Sessions? Last year we had about 2,000 script requests that came in from successful pitches to producers, managers, and studio execs. Sofia Rovaletti discovered 4 writers through Stage 32 last year resulting in optioned scripts. Audrey Knox, recently discovered a script through a pitch session, The Cartel produced it, and now it is available on TUBI. Thomas Pemberton has also discovered 4 writers through Stage 32 and Mindful Eye optioned 4 scripts. I believe Kate Sharp has signed several writers she discovered through pitch sessions as well. Several more success stories! I've put a link to our success stories and pitch sessions below. But if you would like specific recommendations feel free to write me at success@stage32.com. Happy to help!
