I was very excited to read this but what are actionable tips? How did you pay for the films? How did they do in distribution? These would be so helpful.

Expand commentI'm sure you can trim it a little. If we know we're in a wilderness cabin already, then the INT. can read "Sparse, rustic table and chairs. Mattress on floor." 'Wood' & 'two' are redundant. I wouldn't use 'the' & 'and', but that's just my staccato style to save valuable script page space.

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
