You know, it's funny, because I work alone so often and don't leave the house that much, this mandated stay-at-home stuff hasn't felt very different from usual, personally speaking. Except for the anxiety about running out of household supplies I definitely took for granted before (and learning how many conference calls my wife participates in daily).

Anyway, hi, it's me, Pj. I'm a recovering journalist, former comic book editor, and habitual filmmaker / video producer. I'm in the final stages of editing my first feature-length documentary (about the rise and fall of alternative culture in Las Vegas in the 1990s), have unsuccessfully been shopping around a couple of TV pilots, and am in the process of developing various scripted and unscripted projects (including a reality series with a pilot/POC in the can).

I'm currently based in lovely Huntington Beach, California, so I often collaborate with folks in both Orange and Los Angeles counties. Happy to connect with anyone, but especially folks in Southern California to bounce ideas off of and potentially collaborate with.

Hope you're all staying safe out there!

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well under the circumstances.

I've been an actor for 21+ years, have been writing for a few years now, and am currently filming and producing my first short film. Obviously, filming has been on hold since the stay at home orders, but we only have two days left to shoot and we are looking forward to getting back to that.

I studied with Arthur Mendoza at Actors Circle Theatre from 1997-2006 (protege of Stella Adler). I currently study on-camera with director John Swanbeck of Blue Swan Films.

I love storytelling and filmmaking has been an incredible journey. I have been blessed with an incredible writing partner, cast and crew and we look forward to finishing our current project and continuing with many more. Last year I wrote a feature film and have been editing it so that we can start production after the short film is complete. You can follow our short film, Pieces on IG at pieces_the_film.

I enjoy connecting with other actors, filmmakers and writers.

Stay well and see you on the flip-side. xo

Hey, I'm Bob. I'm an animation professional with a couple of decades of experience under my belt. After creating and producing content for Cartoon Network, Disney TV, and DreamWorks TV, I am now building my own production company focusing on family-friendly entertainment.

Hi! I'm a LA native comedy writer who writes for mobile games. I won the Stage 32 3rd Comedy Writing Competition. As well as the NYTVF/JHRTS pilot competition, top 100 Tracking Board pilots, and the Script Pipeline First Look competition. I also I sold a show to Amazon Studios. After writing a bunch of work for hire projects, my goal is to be staffed this year in a room.

I've been a member here for exactly a year now, but haven't interacted much... in part because I feel I haven't totally figured out this space yet, in part because imposter syndrome, in part because I'm a big phoney, in part because I don't have any "real" screenwriting credits yet, in part because I'm self-conscious of how many times I use the phrase "in part" in my posts.

I've published four books of experimental writing with indie Canadian presses and am fairly wholly consumed by my family and teaching college English courses for most of the year. My dream is to act, but not many gigs hit my corner of the world, so I've started writing short films, sketches, stand-up, sitcom pilots, features... not that I have any idea of what do anything with them.

I originally joined Stage32 in hopes of finding a community of writers, directors, producers, etc. I figured this season might be ripe to finally reach out. I mostly use Twitter at the moment for posting stand-up and short vids; feel free to find me over that-a-way: @kay_emmee

Here's a short "sketch" featuring my 4-year-old; he recently asked to start making sketches with me. Thanks for reading, watching, and connecting!
