Introduce Yourself : Hi to all the beautiful artists! by Mariia Rudenko

Nice to "meet" you, Mariia. Glad to be here with you.

Thanks! I'm happy to be in such a great company

Welcome to the community, Mariia Rudenko. "I'm a screenwriter by night, and an IT person by day" makes it sound like screenwriters are superheroes, which we are in a way.

thanks a lot Maurice Vaughan! we are indeed superheroes. To be so hardworking and persistent as screenwriters are demands real superpowers. The main would be the power to not give up :)

ochin pravda

Maurice Vaughan we’re indeed superheroes. to be so patient, persistent and hardworking demands real superpowers. the main is the “not giving up” superpower

Jon Shallit yep! in Ukrainian it sounds like “duzhe virno” :)

You're right, Mariia Rudenko. Are you going to write a script about an IT person one day?

Hey @Mariia nice to meet you! are you working on any fun concepts these days?

Welcome. I’d like to hear about your TV ideas.

actually I’m working on one now Maurice Vaughan

this app seems to cut comments:/ anyway, was just saying that I am actually working on a feature script about an IT person now:) and sometimes I think that until I run out of stories about myself I won’t be able to write about anything else. Maurice Vaughan

PS: jeez.. just remembered the IT Crowd show. how good was it?! right?

Pat Alexander hi! nice to meet you too. I’m actually working on two things now:

- a journey of an artistic IT person, torn apart between pursuing a boring but stable career and being rich, and trying to fulfill their childhood dream of becoming a circus acrobat

- a daughter who managed to evacuate her double amputee dad from a war torn Ukraine in spite of extremely low chances of survival

Chris Lynch hi! thanks for welcoming me here! I used to work as writer on several soap opera projects in Ukraine back in the day. now mostly focusing on feature films, but also signed up for a course in UCLA to enrich my knowledge on TV writing. I have an idea to turn my feature script I just finished into TV series actually. it’s about Ukrainian refugees being hosted by a Ukrainian expat living in Spain, finding their way through these dark times, showing the protagonist her real self and making it to the future full of hopes to keep living and possibly return home.

Welcome to Stage 32 Mariia Rudenko! It's great to hear your journey!

That's cool that you're writing an IT person script, Mariia Rudenko. I haven't seen "IT Crowd." I'll have to check it out.

welcome. I’m new here, and I have been obsessed with a screenplay I’m writing. enjoy

Welcome to the family!!

thanks so much Jack and Samantha! nice to meet you too guys:) Sam Rivera Jack Middleton

Maurice Vaughan I envy you that you’ll be watching IT crowd for the first time. it’s brilliant in my opinion

thanks a lot Richard M Kjeldgaard

Welcome! I'm in the same boat. IT by day, writer by night. The battle between security and art is my life story. LOL

Welcome to the team Mariia!

Welcome to Stage 32 Mariia Rudenko !! So glad you're with us. Totally understand the "job by day and hero by night" journey. Sharing it with you! Now put your hero cape on and fly!

Leonardo Ramirez thanks a lot! big superhero dream is when hobby by night becomes 24/7 craft that brings joy and money :)

Mariia Rudenko You and me both, friend! I checked out your logline, "Let Me Save the World"...love the premise! Five stars!

Leonardo Ramirez wow thanks so much! pitching it like crazy these days :)

Mariia Rudenko You can also try getting script coverage for it. If you get a "double recommend" it'll go out into that month's Stage 32 lookbook which is sent to producers. I would suggest doing both.

thanks for the tip Leonardo Ramirez ! Will check it out
