Max Chapman: Screenwriter in Portland, Oregon.

Some of us still dream of that theatrical release and all the trappings of the big premiere and red carpet. But with the trends moving towards the smaller screen(NETFLIX & others) Does it bother you? Does it really matter? Isn't our goal as writers to tell a story and get paid no matter the distribution. You read articles that even the likes of Martin Scorsese has opted for NETFLIX. His latest film 'THE IRISHMAN" will have a NETFLIX release. This after days of his article that "Cinema is dead". Considering that the NETFLIX budget for 2017 is 7.6 Billion they can pretty much march into any film festival and get what they want. My opinion? If I have written a good script and they want to pay me why would I say No? I don't think any of us would. But I just throw it out there.

Hi Max. 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 400,000+ 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
