Hey everyone,
Lovely to meet you all. I recently discovered Stage 32 and it seems to be such a great resource for writers socially and craft wise.
My name is Emma, I am 34 from Central QLD Australia. I am new to screenwriting and learning all that I can. I really appreciate a platform like this to get to know some of you and learn from you too.
My favourite genre is thriller and horror. Some of my favourite movies (too long to list all) are: The Net, What Lies Beneath, Sixth Sense, Sphere, Double Jeopardy, A Quiet Place. I enjoyed reading these screenplays as well, really find the story structure intriguing and inspiring. I am interested in creating original Australian based horror and thriller in particular.
I am working on a horror screenplay and will be getting coverage to see what I need to work on and what's working so far.
Excited to be here. Don't hesitate to reach out to say hi

Emma McBean given you’re in a regional part of Qld you may want to check out Screenworks (based in Ballina, Screenworks.org.au) as they run programs specifically focused on regional creatives (also supported by SQ, Screen NSW and a some of the streamers - Netflix, Stan, ABC, SBS, etc). They also do some great on line workshops and run several events in NorthbQld. Cheers, Pete
