Hello everybody!
I don't think I did this when I joined Stage32 but I figure why not now, right?
I'm a writer/director based out of the greater Chicagoland area... my debut feature "Save State" just dropped a trailer, so you can check it below.

"Save State" looks great, Scott Sawitz! When the man's playing the game, is that a real game, or did you have it made for the film?

Maurice Vaughan It was an actual real game ... we reached out and asked for permission, they were totally down. The save state screen was something we created and used as an insert into it.
Cool, Scott Sawitz. I thought so. Great job on the game screen to whoever made it. What's your plan for the movie?

Maurice Vaughan I did make the Save State screen using Photoshop,, so thanks!
Right now we're starting the festival circuit ... just did a PR release to get some reviews, as well (hopefully) and going to submit to FilmHub soon so we can get it out there.
You're welcome, Scott Sawitz. Hope "Save State" does great on the festival circuit! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it when it's online. It's two of my favorite type of movies: video game and time loop.

I refer to it as "Source Code" meets "Clerks" ...
It really is, Scott Sawitz. Great nutshell!

Scott Sawitz Sounds good. Please do keep us updated - I love the concept. Also curious as to how that process of submitting to Film Hub works for you.

FilmHub was great to work with ... once they did QC they submitted it. RIght now we've got some places that are still in the delivery phase but ReVeel (an indie film service) pickd us up and we're officially out there in the world.
