I'm Tim Steed. Have a couple of screenplays out (Winner New Hampshire Film Festival), have written for Shaq and Orlando Magic TV, have been in a couple of low budget films as lead, wrote and produced my own comedy CD with zero music background! Had a book produced. Just keeping on keeping on...writing, acting, comedy. Have done corporate keynote speeches, corporate training... you name it. Hit me up.

I'm ready for something else, but in the meantime I am trying to get author and Acting Coach Deryn Warren to come to East Texas (Longview or Tyler area) to teach some acting classes. website DerynWarren.com She's ready to come here if I can generate enough participants to fill the class. Can't go to LA so I'm trying to bring the best of the best here to us! If your interested let me know. The sooner the better. Regards

Hi Everyone! Stopping back to say "Hi" to all! I'm a singer/songwriter following my "Grammy" dream. Been working on a new EP coming out in the next couple of weeks as well as several other projects. I might be in the market for a low budget music video soon, so if anyone is into that, please connect. I also would love to get my music into more films and TV, so please let me know if you need any tracks. Wishing everyone all the best, much success, and a fabulous weekend! NK

Variety posted an article this week titled, "Why Faith-Based Audiences Are More Important Than Hollywood Admits". http://variety.com/2014/voices/news/phil-robertson-duck-dynasty-conserva... What's your professional take on this topic? I'd love to hear your comments here or even better in my blog at http://www.frontgatemedia.com/blog/?p=4261

With the new era started by Mel Gibson's The Passion of Jesus Christ, the faith-based market continues to be one of the fastest growing and most successful areas of the film industry, and in the last several years with the Mark Burnett's "The Bible" and Game Show Network's "The American Bible Challenge" game show, and the UP TV channel as just a few examples, that same audience is yielding success for television. If you have questions about the faith-based market, which in the U.S. skews to the Christian and Jewish paradigms, please let me know. I'll do my best to answer them for you.

Hey guys, I'm discovering more and more that agents and producers are looking to our social media to determine our credibility as professionals. A good friend of mine got told by a publisher that he needed 1000 followers on twitter to 'demonstrate an audience for you as a writer'. With that in mind, I'm trying to build my following on twitter and facebook and I suggest the creatives amongst you do likewise. There are a lot of us on Stage 32. If we all follow and boost each other, everybody wins! So if you want a new follower or two, just say hi here or find me @ninjapen on twitter or https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nick-Bain-Screenwriter/180680868751643 on Facebook. Drop me a message and I'll do the same for you and circulate to my contacts. We can't just rely on the world to find us! Happy networking! Nick
