Anita Mir: Playwright in London, England.

Hello, My name is Eric. I am a photographer and creative writer in Northern Florida. How Lighting is used to help tell stories has always interested me. Most of my photographs have a contemporary art style, which is influenced by cinematography and fine art. Sometimes, they spark an idea for a feature-length screenplay or short script. A perfect example is the attached scene entitled, "Rivals." I am finished editing the Rough Draft. This is my fourth original feature-length screenplay. I also have five Short Scripts, several Short Stories, one adapted screenplay, and one 26-Episode concept based on a video game.. Genres range from Comedy to Drama. Of course, there are other ideas that have not made it to paper. One of my short scripts, entitled "No Fear," was produced as a Student Film and won First Place for the 2011 Azusa Pacific University 48-Hour Film Festival. The cast and crew did an excellent job with improvising as obstacles arose in sticking with the script verbatim. Through that process, I learned that my job as a screenwriter is to give talented people the foundation to work with. Then, allow them to use their gifts and talents to enhance what is written. I love all of the Alfred Hitchcock films I've seen to date. I also admire James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, and J.J. Abrams. I think they are great Visual Storytellers. I enjoy well-written dialogue and Characters that have substance, even if they are the villains. It's what I have to practice as I continue to write. Thank you for your time. Eric C. Jackson

Hi Anita. 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 1,000,000+ 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!
