Lucas Pops: Director, editor and screenwriter in Los Angeles, California.

My name is Lucas Pops and I joined stage 32 from my phone awhile back, thanks to a Facebook suggestion, but never paid much attention to it until recently checking out the site on my computer and now I'm excited to dive into the community. I'm a screenwriter, with about six features, two pilots, and several shorts written, as well as a director and editor. I'm wondering if anyone knows the best way to go about getting a manager? I attended a panel at the Austin Film Festival, where they discussed how a screenwriter used a manager to secure an agent. But it seems like getting a manager has the same exact hurdles as getting an agent. Any advise?

Hi Lucas. 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
