Screenwriting : I'm available for script reading and consultations under Horror/Thriller, Action/Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Comedy by Thunder Levin

Hi Thunder Levin! Are you looking for features only or short film scripts as well?

Dan, as I understand Stage 32, it exists as an educational tool as much as a networking one. When I take pitches I assume the pitchers understand that the odds of having exactly the right project at exactly the right time for the exact executive you're pitching to, are very slim. That's just the nature of the beast. So I see pitch sessions as more of an opportunity to help you refine your pitch so that it's as effective as possible when you're meeting with producers & executives. That's the main service these pitch sessions should provide. The same for script feedback and consultations.

I'm a filmmaker who's lucky to make one film a year. I'm not a development executive at a company producing a dozen films a year, trying to fill a pipeline. I'm here trying to help you get your material and presentation to the point where, when you do meet with someone like that, you can knock their socks off.

Having said that, I have already found one script on Stage 32 (from a "First Ten" submission) that I want to direct and will be taking out as my next project! So you never know.

Lisa, I personally, would only be looking for features or hour-long pilots. There isn't much of a commercial market for shorts.

Claude, I take it you haven't really explored how Stage 32 works. No, the consultations are not free. How could this service afford to exist if it didn't charge for its services? How could it continue to attract a large number and variety of executives and established filmmakers if it didn't pay them? No one here is charging to read screenplays. They're charging for feedback from professionals with years of experience in the business, just as they charge for classes from those same executives and filmmakers.
