This is the companion D&D guide.

A Kickstarter for the next guide in the franchise launches in September.

Do any of the guests read these comments?

Thanks, Erin.

I am Giuseppe De Vuono, an Italian scriptwriter. I am si excited for this incredibile roundtable.

Sequels

What is the opinion of Sequels? I know some movies that deserve sequels. Some like Top Dog because I like that movie and should have a sequel. Plus, Hard Target, I know it got a sequel, but I have an idea that could help make sense. I have other ideas for sequels to other films like Black or White,...

14-year-old screenwriter sharing my second film logline – Any feedback is appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I'm Trung, a 14-year-old aspiring screenwriter from Vietnam.

This is the introduction to my second film idea. I'd love to hear any thoughts, feedback, or suggestions from you all!

Introduction:

After failing his college entrance exam and fearing to disappoint his parents, Minh runs...

Hi, Thanh Trung Nguyen. Your logline is too long. It's 94 words and five sentences. Five sentences is a short synopsis. Loglines are one or two sentences. A one-sentence logline sounds better, and it...

Semi-Finalist

My thriller "KERES" has made it to the Semi-Finals of the Emerging Screenwriter Thriller Contest.

Maurice Vaughan

Congratulations on KERES being a Semi-Finalist, Vikki Harris!

Vikki Harris

Thank you, Maurice Vaughan .

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Vikki Harris!

Michael Dzurak

Congrats. Sounds like an interesting two-hander. A murder mystery confined to single place, community or otherwise, has some good classic vibes to it, like Twin Peaks or Murder on the Orient Express.

Zackary Goncz

Nice, always exciting when you make the cut for a screenwriting contest.

Kickin It and Disney Martial Artist

Remember the series Kickin It? It was a good series, to me that show was like Disney's versions of popular martial arts films like Kickboxer, The Karate Kid, Bloodsport and such. They could have made a sequel film to the series. Plus, Disney has used some pretty good martial artist like Booboo Stewa...

Scammers

Has there always been this many scammers on sites like this? I feel like the majority of network connections I make are of people pretending to be successful producers trying to steal a quick buck from you.

Wherever there are people, there are scammers.

Hi, Callie Currence. Sometimes only one scammer shows up for a while, and sometimes a few scammers or more show up in a bunch. Stage 32 has a lot of members (over 1.2 million and counting), so natural...

I have reported more than one by email and to moderators. Scammers are going to slip in. It happens everywhere. Just that Stage 32 works actively to remove them. This is still a great community and we all need to look out for each other.

I meet a lot of people who just waste my time, not sure if I met any scammers. I think if you look at their profile, their links and IMDB then you can determine if they are a scammer. However, beware...

The scammer is a bit obvious. There are those who think everyone is as stupid as they are. There was a man who offered me 40% of the profit :)

Job Lobster

Apparently, the B-52s created Rock Lobster… and I created Job Lobster.

So this happened…

I was doing a quick search for #Brentango on Google and stumbled across something completely surreal — a job listing on a site called jobilize.com that references one of my songs, "The Lobster Drives a Buick." No...

When I was younger, I read Garfield's Pet Force books which featured Garfield the cat and his friend Odie, Arlene, Nermal and Pooky as superheroes in another universe. They made a direct to video movie that wasn't faithful to the books. But I would like to ask and pitch to the people who make Garfie...
