Juliette McCawley: Director, editor and performance coach in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad And Tobago.

Hey everyone, I'm a Writer/Director/Dp from Trinidad and Tobago. I'm currently entering post prod on my latest short film project "Not Now, Never Now"

In the mean time check out my latest music video for a band called Freetown Collective for their song "Born In Darkness" all shot on location here in Trinidad.

Feel free to link me and lets chat would love to hear what you all are up to✨

Hi all, I am an actor/writer/director/producer and I got my real start in film through lots of great collaborations with filmmakers wherever I have lived - in the USA, Shanghai and London, and now back home in Trinidad. I have loved helping other people give birth to their films as much as I have enjoyed creating mine, I've written, directed (and sometimes edited) 14 short films and worked on several features. I'm always happy to collaborate or even to me another pair of eyes on a script.

Heya fellow friends,

Good day! This is Sy Huq, writer/director of the short film, "Things That Fall", one of the winners from the 4th annual Stage 32 Short Film Contest, excited to make my first Stage 32 post.

Wanted to write about the experience. On August 17th, I brought myself, cast, and crew and rocked HollyShorts Film Fest's red carpet with RB, Amanda, Tanya, Carlos, Avery, and Jonathan. We did some fun interviews, gathered together for a little huddle, and we connected almost instantly. Like put us all in an instant sugar-free Quaker Oats bag, set a microwave for 2 minutes (less if you're using milk) and BOOM -- family.

Afterwards, we rushed into a theatre of the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre (think, that Rush Hour shot) and walked into a SOLD OUT showing of our films. What a blessing. Even more -- the films were incredible. One after the other they continued to blow me away. By the time the showing was over, I had stars in my eyes. What incredible filmmakers and storytellers. 

They invited us down for a Q&A, and the audience was really engaged. Tons of questions, tons of laughs, and tons of inspiring moments. Afterwards, it was hugs all around, and I felt this communal sense of passion in storytelling tantamount to (if I may) astronauts strapping into a brand new rocketship, aimed at the future, hi-fiving each other for completing the gruesome training, a little terrified that the engineers spent 45-minutes making sure the seatbelts would hold us down, but ready for takeoff.

All in all, I'm pretty honored (and lucky) to be included among this incredible community. This introduction, and the main reason why I'm jotting this down for the Stage 32 community, is to leave a little testimonial that my personal experience of making the transition from writer to filmmaker included some of the most collaborative and warm people I've ever met, and that resides within the filmmaking community itself.

Cheers,

Sy

Hi Juliette. 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!

RB
