Teofilo Colon Jr: Director, editor and filmmaker in New York City, New York.

Hi Teofilo. 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

Perhaps this isn't the appropriate website to pose this question. But after reading Blake Snyder's book, "SAVE THE CAT! The Last Book On Screenwriting That You'll Ever Need". I find myself watching movies and thinking about what Blake Snyder "genre" it can fall under. Curious as to what Blake Snyder genre do you think the hit film, "Straight Outta Compton" would fall under? Which of the 10 Blake Snyder genres would any music bio-pic ("Walk The Line", "Ray", etc) fall under? Golden Fleece? Superhero? I apologize in advance if this question is inappropriate for this website. If it is, please let me know and I will take it down.

Thanks for the request, Teofilo. I'm honored, brother. Cheers from a fellow New Yorker.

Anybody know if it's possible to upload a movie poster to the Desert Island Movies section of a profile? - Apparently, Stage32.com was unable to see the movie poster for GARIFUNA IN PERIL, an award-winning, independent film that I listed on my Desert Island Movies list. This movie poster was not found DESPITE it being available on the Amazon.com link the website linked to on the Poster Not Found icon (looks like it's from the Rotten Tomatoes website). - By the way, I tried getting the movie poster onto the Rotten Tomatoes website a year or so ago, but it's been a challenge getting in touch with the operators of that website. Does anyone here have any suggestions as to how to get a movie poster of an independent film onto the Rotten Tomatoes website? The movie poster is already available on imdb.com

I signed up for this website earlier today after being introduced to this website via video interviews of Richard "RB" Botto on the FILM COURAGE YouTube channel a few months back. I am one of those guys who has always been passionate about movies that work, are successful and frankly, SELL. Subsequently, I've tried to figure out how certain movies have managed to become popular and connect with audiences. In particular, movie projects that don't necessarily have that mainstream marketing muscle and push, yet find a way to break through. You can extend my sentiment towards web series as well and what not. I hope to produce work that connects and emotionally involves a significant audience. Do you?

Hey Teofilo, thanks for the connection. You look like an interesting person.
