Marc J. Sylvester: Author and screenwriter in Capelle Aan Den IJssel, Netherlands.

Last night, I made some more headway on my 2nd script, It's nearing completion so I'm beginning my 3rd, being a horror. It started all well and good, I'm liking it, but I sit to continue, and I realized something...I couldn't picture the setting, STUCK...oh boy! Eventually it was time to call it a night.

Today, I got home and even though I wanted to get some writing in, I decided to sit and watch videos and documentaries of persons living in the type of setting and environment I wanted my script to revolve around.

Video, after video, I clicked, and digested. Feeling like I had a good enough crash course, I did a bit of writing on my 2nd script and then jumped to the trouble maker-the horror! But...something was different this time...I found creating the world in the script a lot easier. My research session has paid off!

...Unfortunately...It's late, and I'm way too tired :/ lol So here I am, crafting this post to you before I reunite with my bed (she's been complaining we're not spending enough time, so i'll let her have her way...tonight).

What type of research do you recall doing for a script/s you have written?

Hi Marc. 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.

Goedendag allemaal.

I'm Marc, and I have to say that I'm in awe of this place called stage 32.

The fact that there are this many creative minds gathered in one place is just awesome.

I am here, to take over the world (dramatic stance). Just joking, I wish to learn and network.

I must admit that digital networking isn't one of my most robust features, but I'm convinced that it'll improve due time. So, hello everybody.
