Hi everyone! I'm Kylle from the Philippines. I've always had a passion for creative writing, film, and the performing arts, but my educational background and career so far had other plans for me in STEM. My goal to be a screenwriter one day is still out there, but right now, I'm exploring filmmaking through the eyes of an actor (and I bagged my first 3 roles in film all in the month of October - taking on lead roles! Exciting stuff.)
I had a dream of getting to study then work in the film industry in LA late last year, but I've had to put that journey on hold for familial reasons. I'm excited to keep learning through my local film industry, but I'm afraid my current lack of direction might lead me to flake and just keep pining for empty career goals in corporate. I'm really hoping to use Stage 32 as a form of motivation, especially with this lovely-looking community. I've been in a real slump this whole year, but I'm not giving up on this far-fetched dream of being a filmmaker now!
Can't wait to get into this and maybe finally come up with a screenplay of my own before the year ends. And if anyone wants to chat or maybe give out some advice for this girl in need, this comment section and my inbox are open. Thanks for having me!

hey Kylle
I am in a similar situation as you are… my dream is to make it in the American film industry one day. All I have so far is a script but I need somebody to point me to the right direction and/or the right people to make this happen and I was hoping to find help on Stage 32. Maybe we can help each other

Congratulations on bagging your first 3 roles in one month, @Kylle Columna! Stage 32 is a great form of motivation. Speaking of motivation, Stage 32's annual November Write Club just started (www.stage32.com/blog/join-us-for-the-9th-annual-november-write-club-3529). You can use the challenge to achieve a writing goal or any type of goal.

What's your goal for your script, @Noah Konan?

Maurice Vaughan My goal is that someone reads my script, gives me feedback and I somehow manage to make a actual movie out of it

Maurice Vaughan thanks for the heads up! This looks like a great jumpstart to getting something small done on my end (and a way to see what everyone's got to share too!)

Cool, @Noah Konan. I suggest emailing Stage 32’s Development Team (success@stage32.com) and let them know what your goal is. They’ll give you some suggestions for script readers and who to pitch your script to.
When you say "I somehow manage to make a actual movie out of it," do you mean you want to produce your script? If so, there are a lot of great advice and resources for producers in the Producing Lounge (www.stage32.com/lounge/producing) and the Producing Blogs (www.stage32.com/blog/tags/producing-22).
