Hi Faisal. 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

Expand commentHi Steffany,
Regardless of the tone/subject matter, I'd want my story to realistically depict the times/ways/environment, and in this case I would start with a visit to the El Dorado County Historical Museum, which is run by the El Dorado County Historical Society.
I spent some time up in El Dorado County back in the day and can't think of a better place to do some research on that subject - and they have a lot of old photos and documents from the time. And I would befriend one of the staffers/members, too, who could become a valuable resource as well, and who probably would let me run some stuff past him/her.
Back in those days, Placerville was the bigger city not too far downriver from Coloma, and it even had its first school and fire station by the 1850's. As the gold rush winded down (and the genocide ramped up), some of the remaining prospectors who had come from around the world in search of gold settled in the valleys for farming and for logging/milling, and to partake in the slaughter of California Indians. And regarding the slaughters - there is also a book on that (An American Genocide).
Choosing to ignore or minimize the genocide is your choice, of course - but I'd at least want to get the real ways of the times and the everyday life accurately represented, and I'd start with the Historical Society.
Best fortunes in your creative endeavors, Steffany, and stay safe!
That's great info, Bill. Thanks so much for your time and suggestions! :)
