Happy Introduce Yourself Weekend!!

Hi everyone and happy IYW!

I work at Stage 32 as the Certification Production Manager in the US and I produce films & television shows.

My most recent TV show was GENIUS: MLK/X, which depicted the lives of Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. It aired in February on Nat Geo, Disney+ and Hulu. It was an honor to work with that exceptional creative and production team.

The only thing I love as much as producing is eduction. If you haven't had a chance to check out the Stage 32 Certification Program please do - I'm super proud to be a part of it. It's a global workforce development program designed to certify you in skills needed in production jobs and once you're certified in any course you'll be listed in a database that film commissions and producers have access to so they can find qualified people in their area to hire on productions. Here's a link so you can see what's offered that may be right for your career goals: https://certification.stage32.com/#/public-dashboard

It's awesome to be a part of this global creative community with so many likeminded artists, producers and executives. Thank you for enriching my experience and I look forward to seeing all the amazing work that you are all doing this year.

Have an awesome weekend!!!

Thanks for ask Sam Sokolow . I’m pitching a fantastic tv pilot, period drama, Bridgerton meets the Horse Whisperer with tigers and elephants. It’s going to cost an arm and a leg to produce, but the story has amazing distribution protection, so I have hope.
