Ashley S. Johnson: Screenwriter, actor and director in Los Angeles, California.

Right now I have to leave stage 32 being not as active from when I first started. The lymphoma my husband has endured for 3 years had returned and I’m no longer in the mood to write. I pray for his recovery and hope you all have happy writing and rewriting and more rewriting. Hope to return with great news. Goodbye for now.

So excited I made it to the second round of consideration for the Black Boy Writes & Black Girl Writes Mentorship Initiative! Looks like I'm in good company.

Hi and happy full moon Monday. I came across Stage 32 months ago while I was (and still am) recovering from a terrible miracle, a fall that landed (hehe) me in the hospital(s) for nearly 4 months and in a medically induced coma for 6 weeks. I’m grateful to be alive, every single day and got back to writing as I continue to heal and have more surgeries. I’ve exchanged emails with a few folks that have sent various opportunities for past events but am just this morning called to download the app and create a profile so here I am. I’ll finish creating my profile and get on with my day but just wanted to start with a post and introduction of sorts to this community.

So happy to be a member of this community now. I am a writer and actress living in Los Angeles. I’m a 3x author. I have a short film that I wrote/directed/produced titled Where Is Mother. In 2020 I was a Top 5 Finalist in a screenwriting/pitch competition and I won a trip to the Sundance Film Festival to pitch my TV series!! A dream come true, to say the least!

Currently written, I have 2 pilots( Animated & Dramedy), 5 short films, and I am finishing my first feature-length (RomCom)!  Not the greatest with networking and getting my work out so I’m grateful for this opportunity.

Let’s connect and share our stories with the world!

Hi Ashley. 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
