Hi Stage32 fam

Hi guys, I'm a South African screenwriter whose quite new to the game. I unfortunately have no network as I'm just starting out. That's why I joined Stage 32. I finished my first screenplay which I'm thrilled about, now I hope there's someone out there who would be willing to take a look and give me guidance, while I seek out an indie producer. I have multiple different projects that I can't wait to share and that might be on HBO or Netflix. Thanks guys and stay safe. Love from South Africa.
