Michel Merkt's Lounge Discussions

Thanks for this great post and especially "Just think how the little things we are doing now here and elsewhere that may come back to reward us further down the line" as this is exactly STAGE32! RB you can be proud of your guys! :o) oh and by the way CJ thank you for saying nice words for Swiss Producers!

Kathryn, that's the thing. Would we say our brand is our prefered genre, tone, or what. And that's before even getting into the complexities of considering if optioning a script outside of our remit is a good or bad thing. Michel, thanks for the kind message and I love how you see it as the Stage 32 spirit because that's exactly what it is.

Thanks Julie. Look forward to connecting with everyone.

Hi everyone - here's the details: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/stage_32_meetups/American-Film-Market-AFM...

YAY! I just RSVPd. I have a book signing at the Mystic Journey Bookstore in Venice that day from 3-5pm if anyone wants to stop by. Look forward to meeting everyone at the Meet-Up at 7pm.

Thanks Julie...I look forward to meeting up with you. Janice from New Zealand

I'm attending AFM from Chicago. Might need housing. Depends if I stay past Day 1.

what would be great is if you could talk about the project you have here in Cannes and what you are looking for....even for the one who weren't with us!

Hey Michel I'm here with four 'in development' feature projects. 1. A murder mystery/dark comedy set in Bombay called 'The Tenants' (partially financed) 2. A Sci-Fi / Political satire set in India called 'The Prime Minister' (director attached) 3. A post apocalyptic Sci-Fi called 'Project Fusebox' 4. A low budget claustrophobic, single location Horror called 'The Cantina' Looking for a Producer / Production company for an international co-production and financing for all these projects. Vishaal.

If you find anyone wanting to distribute a comedy horror that will be ready in Aug/Sept; or someone wanting to invest in a low-budget psychological horror, point them toward me. I can help on both counts ;-)

Hi everyone! Stage 32 will officially be at Cannes this year - stay tuned for an announcement!
