Jim Hickey: Photographer (still), playwright and screenwriter in Asheville, North Carolina.

You can check out my ongoing work here: <https://hickeyj.substack.com/p/big-tent-review-d74>. I'm also still occasionally setting up my Feral Nerd Performance Space.

Hey Katherine. For a different, interesting POV, look at the work of Knut Wittkowski, the famous virologist, here: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4wIsshE4Q4>.

Hey Zina! Are you asking if I'd like an interview?

Hey Luis! My daughter died of a Fentanyl overdoxe three months ago. I can relate. Keep me posted, Solidarity Forever, Ciao for now, Jimbo.

I started writing off my own back at about 14. I don't know what made me start except that I was inspired by a dream I had about falling to my death during a rooftop pursuit. (I think I was the pursuer if I remember correctly).

Since then I've dabbled with acting on stage and film, wrote and directed a 30s set noir thriller for the London fringe (The Shadow Formula), made two short films (The Cheat & God, Fat Moo) and worked on various novels, short stores, scripts and screenplays as well as profusely studying the art of storytelling.

Now I want to focus on that more. I'm currently finishing off a long-term project (having recently moved to the very remote Isle of Jura in Scotland I have a lot of time on my hands) and then I want to focus on screenwriting and teleplays. The current feature I'm working on is a kind of Western version of Heart of Darkness/ Apocalypse Now.

I tend to write degrees of fantasy or magic-realism. Sometimes the magic in my scripts isn't obvious but it's still there. I take an often skewed look at the everyday and try to normalise the magical.

I like to write interesting female characters, pepper my dialogue with quirky British humour and often tip-toe over to the dark side, you know, just to see what's going on.

I like working with others even just bouncing around ideas so don't be shy, send me a message and step into my strange world if you like.

Hey All,

I hope all is going great for you!

Virtual networks are more than nothing, even if they blow dead bears in comparison with real and dynamic collectives. So here goes.

I'm an inveterate writer. I continue, in hopes of hits and adoration, despite all evidence to the contrary. I have a portal to some of this over at the Promo page: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/promotion/Im-a-Virgin-Be-Gentle-With-Me.

More importantly, I'm in favor of radical, deep-seated social transformation—i.e., justice and majority-rule and equality, for starters. Storytelling that flows from this premise can in fact produce massive popularity, and unbelievable ROI, if it can only bypass the corporate masters who would divert, deflect, and otherwise dismantle anything that evinces even a whiff of revolutionary fervor, transformational ardor, the passion of the unleashed masses, however one states the case.

Perhaps, miraculously or otherwise, this exercise in making a surreal set of connections real will bear fruit in attempting to deconstruct and deconstrict the hegemony of money over people, of cash over passion, of plutocracy over democracy. I'm open to the possibility in any event. Anyone who wants to should surprise me.

Hello Stage32 community! I have recently joined and thought I would take the time (finally) to introduce myself. I am Brandy Clarke. I am an actress, single mom, and veteran. I am someone who loves nature, art, books, and being ridiculous with friends and family. I have begun writing my first screenplay which I have decided I will shoot when it's finished. I have background, supporting and leading roles under my belt and I am determined to make my acting a career and my name a household name. Networking is huge on my list right now to get my name out there and to book more roles. My number one desire for 'making it big' is to be in such a position to positively inspire others globally. I want to take my passion and funnel it into meaningful art, and enjoy the process!

Chuffed to bits that my little play, “Monsters”, has been selected by one of Aberdeen’s (Scotland) theatres for the Climate Action Scratch night on the 20th of March! If you are around the city, join us to enjoy some interesting stuff!

How the hell does one go about this exactly? I've got decades of media failures, from the mundane to the spectacular, along with a handful of singularly modest successes, about which I might go on at length. One cannot simultaneously be a writer and prove incapable of blathering on and on about whatever catches one's eye or tickles one's fancy.

So here's a link to the most recent still viable output: https://www.patreon.com/solidarityforeverwow. This is the overall portal; for an initial installment of sixty-five books that I can complete so long as I do one a year and live to be 129 years old, which is also my just-completed first novel, a reader can turn here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/all-gods-cousins-11527773.

I've also got a registered screenplay, LuLu, that traces a family's fun with Big Pharma from lobotomy to ADHD, and two horror treatments—Encroachment and Miscreants. Once, long ago, I sold a script, WWJD, for chump change to a trio of rowdy seminary students, who produced it in some fashion for their graduation project.

I'm an actual writer, but I'm not a smart wordsmith in that I mainly inscribe my gems for free. Ah, well. I'm in Western North Carolina with my wife, who is a certifiable genius and Mapuche Goddess. We're looking for nascent networks and cheap chances to have massive impacts.

Greetings,

Is this where I introduce myself. I have been in this business for 20 years now. I am a director and writer who is a Union Director of Photography in recovery. That means after 14 years in the union I've finally given up my bread and butter, cinematograpy. The odd thing is that even though I rose up the ranks quickly and made great money and helped steer the industry in a new direction I never intended on being in the camera department in the first place. I was actually pushed into the camera world by producers who recognized my skill and knowledge. Later they hired me to shoot all their shows. I only wanted to write and direct but our paths are all very unique and we often wake up and ask ourselves what are were doing here. I found myself as the go to D.P. for productions that had to hire directors who had no idea what they were doing. I had to protect them and the show and make sure all was good. Basically I found myself babysitting children who had a clever video on Youtube, which apparently warrents the opportunity to direct a pilot for CBS or NBC or an $10 Million feature film. Needless to say they did nothing and I actually directed while not getting the credit. No thanks! Not anymore!

Along the way I've also been very involved with post and for me editing is part of directing. That lead me to take breaks from filming and run post on many tv series, edit, online edit, color and VFX. I do all that on my own projects anyway so from time to time I've been paid wonderfully for that too.

It all ends one day so why not go after what we want in an all out attack? I've gone back to school for writing and continue to immerse myself in the world of independent production, sales and distribution. Currently I've got a film in the works with one of this years Oscar winners in our cast, which shoud go into production in May, and I've got two other films that I'm pulling the financing together for at the same time.

As a director I've had many successes and just recently won Best Super Short Film at Shriekfest LA 2017 for my film CLASSIFIED, which is based on a feature of the same name. The feature version has been optioned by two different companies and put through development at both. Sadly the film was never made and the option has reverted back to me but I believe that the right partner just hasen't arrived yet.

I haven't quite figured out how Stage32 works yet or why it's a benefit to me but I'm happy to be a part of the community. I'm also curious why they would schedule Film Con on the same weekend as Wonder Con. I'm going to Wonder Con to pitch a project but sure would love to see what Film Con is all about.

Other than that I'm from the Midwest, am a former professional athlete and have a dog named Jack.

Be well and the best to everyone.
