Screenwriting : Here's something to look up to. A heartfelt message and also very well constructed. by Päivi Holländer

This is exactly what we mean by finding "The Pulse of America" It's nice to see it is in fact a global perspective. I think we all intuitively know this. The screenplay I wrote for the Nicholl Fellowship does in fact resonate many of these principles and has somewhat of a message for the world in it. Sure it has a fantasy aspect to it but fantasy sometimes is loosely based in reality and hopefully what is currently resonating everywhere. Same thing with my Sitcom about social ineptness. Even though they are just stories I do believe they find that resonating "Pulse of America" in my case and in some respects "Pulse of The World". If writer's pay attention we all can find that common resonating pulse and sometimes adapt them into to stories to either reflect, repel or teach a lesson. Screenwriters everywhere should try to think at these levels from time to time and most that are decent, good or great do. It is not just about media trends. I'll stop at that because I could elaborate forever how to find the pulse that I believe we are all looking for. I believe this to spot on in my eyes and interpreted view. Thanks for posting this Paivi.

Alle brings up a good point and hopefully this Stage 32 keeps things at a professional creative perspective which I think it does. Letting creative professionals into our lives for our work is healthy and finding creative matches is healthy. I get leary myself from time to time. A writers mind is a beautiful thing to share with those like-minded and hopefully it never goes beyond that unless it were a meet-up or something with other like-minded professionals or professionals on the verge. Exposing our true selves in social media is risky. Being from a healthcare background we had to go through not only legal checks but integrity checks quite often. Even with that there are probably four or so out ten that are genuine and do it for more than a paycheck. As arrogant as it may sound there are times that I get apprehensive of showing true brilliance because it can come off so everything and clear yet misunderstood. Peace out all.
