Hey, Mimi Chen! Nice to meet you! Oh, hey, you're in LA, too! Once we're all back out into the world, you'll have to come out to our in-person meet-up at The Pheonix!

I was looking over your profile, but you don't have much there. Tell me about yourself! What made you want to get into gaming?

Definitely reach out on the Transmedia Lounge with gaming questions: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/transmedia But I would love for you to chime in on the conversations happening in the Acting Lounge as well: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting

Enjoy exploring, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too!

great looking CV. CA is tough, there are so many people trying to get somewhere, but you at least have experience, which is important when you are vying for a gig. Photos are only important if you are applying for acting/visual jobs. Good Luck and welcome to CA!

Thank you so much Mimi! your feedback means a lot to me. I have a good idea on how tough it can be, so I'm very open to any position I can find and, hopefully, climb the ladder.

Good advice, Mimi Chen! Catarina De Cèzanne, be sure to search around S32 for other in the LA area - I'm sure there are a lot! Anytime you're up in Reno, I'll buy you a cuppa!

Oh man, just missed it! Well I followed you on Twitter so hopefully I'll catch the next show!

Congratulations, Michael. I'm happy for you. I request your subjective advice, as a selling screenwriter, on this: I've written two feature-length scripts that placed first or second in regional competitions, in 2007 and 2011. I've revised them since. One's a period action drama, and one's an American-female-lead drama in Afghanistan. Do you suggest I enter competitions, seek and agent/manager, submit (loglines, synopses or scripts) to group bulletin board leads, or simply submit to individual production companies? Thanks for your time in reading and replying, Michael.

Eric, it's a hard question to answer since there are so many avenues to breaking in somewhere. I suggest continuing to send the material to as many places as possible, and continue to produce new material all the time. You never know what is going to land. Certainly push for management and direct to production companies, but very importantly, keep writing and working on new scripts, and repeat the process.

Thanks, Michael.

That's awesome. Congrats!

Michael - would you be willing to share the script with us, please , in the form it was bought? And the Logline?

Weston, what is the actual amount of funds you have in the bank for the animation project? Do you have the $20 million in the bank?

I know a guy who helps projects get funded...don't know how much he charges tho!

Thanka al you guys. I like writing in sci-fi as well as projects that are related to true historical events.. some times they are one and the same ;)~

Also, if you would like to talk further or about more specific details.. Private Message me please.

Weston great to have you here! What an impressive resume you have. What is your favorite part about acting? The craft? The business? Or ?

Thanks for sharing your story Pamela. Wow, you've been through quite the journey! Amazing that your landlord had such strong intuition to go back and check the property; it says a lot about human potential and our deeper connections. I am a writer who directs, acts and trains dogs and my current focus (besides developing screenplays) is my comedy sketch YouTube channel. The channel was inspired by Michael Wormser's Stage 32 course on building an online audience - excellent, inspiring course! If you want to check my channel out, please do at: https://www.youtube.com/user/janlaidlaw I focus on comedy but I love inspiring stories about human potential; yours is definitely one. Thanks for reaching out here and good luck with your aspirations!

Thank you Joy, Jake, Mimi and Janet! I keep saying I could do a comedy show Janet, for I have enough content and love comedy. I also said upon entering society after coming home from hospital ... "The world needs a big giggle and we're coming in with the tickle!" Will check your site out, thank you. And all the best to everyone with our shared journeys. Let's go make the world a better place :) Laughter is good medicine!

Love Dogs and animals Janet. Will share a good friend of mine's site from England if you wish to peruse? I first have to make money so I can take her course with the ISCP (International School for Canine Psychology and Behaviour). Enjoy! http://theiscp.com/

Thanks Pamela, I'll check it out. :)

You're welcome, Pamela!

Hi I've already expressed my enjoyment, in watching the Savvy and Sophisticated, Black Salt trailer. To those who haven't seen it yet the costumes, characters, choreography, together with crisp dialogue are outstanding. I've just watched BEHIND THE SCENES. Thanks for this share, I've learnt interesting back story about this multi faceted concept, and enjoyed meeting the individuals who have pooled their skill sets to make this dream come alive. Brilliant single, I hope it gets a cult following....Black Salt, Black Salt, Black Salt!

very cool! Hope to see you at Comic Con next year! :)

Thank you Debbie and Mimi
