Hello everyone! I just want to welcome the new members to Stage 32! You're going to meet some great people on this platform and we all support one another. Also I hope all of the dads had a great Father's Day!
Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day! Question for those who write 30-minute sitcoms, how many pages do you write per episode? Mine range from 22-25 pages
22-25 pages is good because there will be TV ads. I try to stay in that range.
These articles might help (with your page range question and stuff about sitcoms):

Thank you for your help Maurice, I appreciate it!
You're welcome.
Hello everyone! I finished revising the pilot episode for my 30-minute sitcom and was inquiring to see which exec at Stage 32 I should send it to. Can anyone provide any recommendations on an exec that has worked with you on a project? Thank you in advance for your help!
Well done Jason, on moving forward with your script! I second MB's suggestion of reaching out to j.mirch@stage32.com. There are so many resources at Stage 32 he can help guide you to the right ones an...

Thanks Niki H! Hey Jason - I know we're emailing back and forth. The other person I think that would be great for you is Ashley Henderson who is at Will Smith's company, Westbrook. She is their TV Dev...

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers on Stage 32!
Congratulations to all that contributed to these films! "Baby's Phoney Friend" reminded me of Look Who's Talking, and I enjoyed how "Whatever it Takes" was intense without words. Also loved how "The Passport" steadily revealed who the main character was. All of the films were terrific!
Recently I noticed screenwriter posts that detailed how many submissions they did per each script they wrote. I was blown away by the shear volume of it. I already thought I wasn't doing enough by way of my scripts. My scripts are lucky to get submitted to 4-5 and those posts revealed that those guy...

WL. I can't even match an average of four or five submissions per script...let alone three hundred.
My stuff tends to be off the beaten path, what with my feeling more comfortable writing what I want t...

Who is your target market and then target that market. The pipeline is so clogged with trash that it's become impossible to find that one worthy script. True: It's like trying to take a sip from a fire hose.
I had no idea there were writers that submitted each script 300+ times. I wonder if they're submitting it all at once, or waiting to hear feedback from the submission and then doing the revisions? I know I need to increase the number of scripts I submit.
Hello everyone! I'm an aspiring screenwriter and author, and I'm having a hard time figuring out which one of my projects should I pitch/promote. So far I've written 2 full-length screenplays, 4 short screenplays, and one season of a sitcom. Does anybody else have a hard time deciding which project...

Always go with your best work.
Thank you very much everybody, I appreciate your feedback!
normally different projects should attract different people in dfferent areas...
probably best bet is to shoot all of them to different targets and watch which 'works''
for the intended audience
Cheers all! I’m David. Husband. Dad. Screenwriter. Horror fan. Austin Finalist. And giant Nerd. After a loooog break (for reasons many) my first script in ten years landed on two semi-final lists in the past 3 months. It’s one heck of a Horror tale I’ll bet you’ve never seen before. Enjoy the weekend and let’s connect!
Congrats!! Well done.
Love, love, love and love horror. Congrats.
Congratulations, that's awesome!
How do you do it? And by it, I mean find time to write?? During quarantine and then self imposed quarantine writing was my life, my priority and something I found so easy to do. In the year or so since being back in the real world it has become nearly impossible, to not only make/ find time, but to...

Hi Adriana. Like Jeremy wrote, he are all so different. But what works for me is to allow time, at least half an hour/day, to sit down alone and write. No matters what, just write something. The inspiration will come to you, sooner or later.
How do you find time for anything...relaxing, traveling, watching TV...? You like such stuff, you find time...If you like writing you'll always have a time for it...if you need a little push towards h...

Happy New Year everyone!! Wishing you all the best in 2022. Great things are going to happen this year!!!
Hello everyone! I just wanted to share with you that I had a tremendous call with Angela Cristantello, you provided me with feedback on the pilot episode of my sitcom. She provided me with excellent advice such as providing more information in the action sequence, adding more of a contemporary twist...

That's fantastic, I'm so glad you received such helpful and constructive feedback!
Thank you for connecting with me Giovanni, I hope all is well with you. What type of movies do you produce?
Hi Jason, I usually do Action/Drama, Horror and Science fiction. I would like to do a comedy. And you what type of Screenplays do you usually write?
Sorry for the delay in responding back. I do Drama and I also wrote a sitcom. Right now I'm looking for an agent to represent me and help me get my foot in the door.
Congratulations, Danika! What a way to inspire!
