Hi, Everyone!
My name is Ashley Smith, and I’m the Head of Community here at Stage 32!
Prior to joining this incredible team, I spent nearly 7 years at a boutique development and talent management company where I was deeply involved with every development project, management client, and administrative aspect of running the company. I oversaw a rich development slate of films, ongoing series, and limited series across genres and developed projects for Amazon, Sony TV, FX, Universal TV, Paramount TV, Legendary Global, MGM, A&E, Concord Originals, and many others.
Here at Stage 32, I’m honored to oversee this fantastic Community. As well as the daily Blog, weekly AMAs, monthly in-person Meetups, and numerous volunteer efforts to make your time here at Stage 32 as helpful and resourceful as possible. It’s always my goal to bring you all exciting resources and information to help you network, connect, and learn more about various disciplines and processes within the entertainment industry.
I’d love to know what you all enjoy most about being a part of the Stage 32 community, what you’d like to see more of, the kind of AMAs that you’d like to see in the lounges, and the type of blog topics that you would enjoy!
On a personal note, today is my puppy Rupert’s second birthday, so this weekend we’re looking forward to spending time at the dog park and showering him with toys, treats, and love. He brings so much joy into our lives, and we feel so lucky to have found such a sweet and smart little guy.
What about you? What’s something that’s bringing you joy right now? Let me know in the comments, I’d love to celebrate with you.
Don’t be a stranger! I look forward to connecting with you all.

Expand commentOh Marina Albert, thank you for sharing such a sweet and heartfelt story. I’m so sorry to hear about Amber. Losing a young pup is absolutely heartbreaking. But how beautiful that Coco has Skye now, and that they’ve become best friends after that rocky start. Dogs really do have a way of helping each other heal. I’m sending you all the good vibes for your move, what an intense time! I couldn’t agree more… animals really do bring people together in the most unexpected and meaningful ways. Give Skye and Coco some love from Rupert and me!
