Introduce Yourself : Hello my name is Jeff Sturm, from 7376 films in Hartford Connecticut. by Jeff Sturm

Hi, Jeff! I am doing wonderful :) How are you?

I'm doing well thank you. You are the first person, who I have networked with on the lounge. I've been with Stage 32, for some time now. Have done, many classes as well as a mock writers room last year. Have also put in for several 10 page reviews. But this is my first lounge post.

Great to connect Jeff Sturm. Feel free to reach us directly at edu@stage32.com for any questions or advice on our great education at Stage 32. We're happy to help with your career!

Hey Jeff, I just joined a few days ago. I see you're in Hartford...I grew up in Western Mass and live near Boston now. Its nice to see someone on here thats nearby.

take care and reach out anytime

I feel honored Jeff! I just sent you a network request :) That's very cool, which class was your favorite? I started at Stage 32 in January, so I am wondering if we have crossed paths yet!

Welcome, Jeff Sturm! Glad you're here and jumping into the lounges!

Congrats on making your first lounge post, Jeff Sturm! I'm doing great, thanks for asking. What's the story behind your company's name?

Glad you stepped out, Jeff Sturm, Hopeful the response will encourage you to get more involved!

Welcome Jeff!

Welcome Jeff! Nice to meet you. Glad you're here.

Sydney S My favorite class that I have had so far, has been the mock writers room with Katie Sergeant. She was one of the writers on the show "Castle". It was a great class, and a good experience. Want to work on a television show as a writer!

Welcome to the Stage!!

Maurice Vaughan The name 7376 films, was at first just a placeholder on a form. But everyone liked it, as the name is easy to remember.

December 2018, only a few people had any idea that I wanted to start what would be 7376 films. Needed to pick a name, and some people said that they had a few ideas for the name. But didn't say what their ideas for the name were going to be when the time came to finalize the space in Hartford, Connecticut.

When I signed on the dotted line, I needed a name. Was told that I could pick a temporary one and I could change it later with no issue before I set my mailing address up. The temporary name stayed as everyone liked it.

Address has been, 7376 films 20 Church Street, Mezzanine Level Hartford Connecticut, 06103 ever since.

Richard "RB" Botto Hello, Does Stage 32 have a service where I can have my scripts looked at by agents? When the strike is over, I would like to show my work to an agent as I would like to get a job working on television as a writer.

Hey Jeff. Yes, for over a decade. Drop success@stage32.com when you're ready.

Cool backstory, Jeff Sturm. Looking forward to seeing your films.

Richard "RB" Botto Thank you RB, I did get the email out reach from Stage 32. I will be sending something shortly. I means a lot to me, thank you sir. - Jeffrey Sturm

Thank you Jeff Sturm

Lori Lee Peters Your're welcome

Hey Jeff Sturm thanks doing good! How are you and what are you up to these days?

Vital Butinar I'm doing great, I have been submitting scripts to Stage 32 for 10-page reviews. Soon I will be sending some more, as RB and the Stage 32 staff have been so helpful.

Jeff Sturm that's great! Yeah the S32 team is really great! Well I''ve been working on getting one of my comedies into production and have recently started on another one that's going to be just as crazy funny as the first one.

Appreciate those kind words, Jeff Sturm.

Richard "RB" Botto You're welcome.

Hello, Jeff. I am from Meriden and. Southington, and have lived in London for the last 40 years or more. I'm a performed playwright and author here, and have had near-sale of a screenplay that interested some very big Hollywood names. I appreciate what you are saying about your work and attitude, on your website. Please read the bit I will send you now. Please get back to me if you think we might be able to work together in some way. Yours very kindly, Dale Reynolds Screenplays and Stage Plays

Braggarts irritate me, but if I don't toot my own trumpet (just as a tin thing) I won't get the interest in my work that it may deserve. I start my 'music' with a true tale. A retired MGM producer once read a screenplay of mine. We met here in London and he said to me, "You write better than most of them."

My next seeming achievement was to get the interest of Gregory Peck and Richard Farnsworth for the lead part in A REGULAR JOE, another screenplay, but my ad hoc producers who had connected me with those famous actors, and others, were unable to come up with the money for the project.

Going back further, I've had three stage plays produced in London theatres. The last play was translated into Russian and German. It was nearly produced in Moscow at a marvellous arts theatre near Red Square. Lack of financial backing was again the problem. Too bad, as the Russians loved my satire, SMALL TALK. (Russia had just become Russia again.)

(A German theatre producer owns the production rights to the German translation of Small Talk.)

Since those times, I've completed several other scripts. I have a full length drama for the stage and a short religious comedy, THE TRIAL OF GOD, which one actor has called "a beautiful comedy". Both plays should be performed in the UK first. The "God play" could also be a film. It needs one set and five players.

Two newer and other screenplays would most suitably be shot in the USA and Canada, both comedies and dramas. STAYING WITH FRIENDS is a comedy that explores the question whether neighbours can truly be friends.

Now that I have dropped some of my names as well as some of my projects, I'd love for some of you to drop your names to me, and your own interests.

I'd appreciate it if some of you who are looking for a new movie or play to look at some of my work. I didn't just do it for myself. Thank you,

Yours warmly,

Dale Reynolds writdale@gmail.com
