Dave Geary: Actor, documentary filmmaker and screenwriter in Vancouver, Canada.

Honoured to be on the Jury for feature documentaries at DOXA Film Festival. So many great docs to watch from around the world. Check out the program, panels, etc. #documentary https://www.doxafestival.ca/

Excited to see new TV comedy Rutherford Falls, premiering on #acorntv tonight in the US, and on #showcase in Canada. It pairs an Indigenous cast (Jana Schmieding, Michael Greyeyes, Bobby Wilson), showrunner (Sierra Ornelas) and writers (Tai LeClaire, Kapena Baptista, Tazbah Rose Chavez) with Ed Helms and Michael Shur (The Office, Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine). https://youtu.be/zX3ph5T-yek

Congrats to Taika Waititi for his Grammy for the soundtrack to Jojo Rabbit. The choice of "I Want To Hold Your Hand", "I'm a Believer" and "Helden/Heroes" by David Bowie, all in Deutsch, were great creative choices that lifted the film into that extra-pop cultural astral/aural plane that only the comic and creative genius of Taika could have dreamt of. The Tom Waits "I Don't Want To Grow Up" is also perfect for a story about a boy who's made 'some bad choices', like join Nazi Youth, and is going to have to grow up real fast. It sets Taika up for the EGOT - Emmy, Grammy, Oscar... Tony to come. He has written plays in his early career, so it's definitely on the cards. https://collider.com/taika-waititi-grammy-win-reaction-jojo-rabbit/

Just joined after the excellent Chris Mack #netflix Pitch presentation last week. I'm interested in Indigenous cinema and just watched Inuk filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk's MALIGLUTIT feature based loosely on John Ford's THE SEARCHERS. Well worth checking out how a 'western' became a 'northern'. Good article on it here: https://nationalpost.com/entertainment/movies/if-the-searchers-was-a-wes...

Hi Dave. 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
