Michael Edward Reif: Manager, actor and musician in Seattle, Washington.

Alone in the bedroom on the second floor of the single family home in the suburbs at night in pajamas lying on his belly and looking out of the window at the rain for the last hour he wandered when it would stop as he fell asleep. A flash of lightning and explosive thunder caught him off guard and made him run the few steps to the window to see the damage. As the smoke cleared the Morton Salt Girl was standing there on the street down below. A dream come true.

Way to go!

Way to go!

I have been in pictures my whole life. I sold baby food and stuff. I grew up on set and on stage. I like the theater. I have been part of the crew and the cast. I was a star in many ways. I was often sick and had a lot of trouble remembering what happened yesterday. I was smart though and I was a good repair man. I tried to forgive and forget. I'm working on getting a new place probably somewhere near the old place. I hope it has all the modern conveniences of home. I guess I'm somewhere between Cosmopolitan and Metropolitan. A caveman? Maybe! I like Seattle, Washington and my birth certificate says I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I'm a National Treasure and I support the Arts and Welfare of the community, but I have a TBI, I guess I'm just another face in a crowd. Life's good.

Hi Michael. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
