Introduce Yourself

Hi, JD Glasscock. Really impressive resume! Congratulations on shooting 16 short films, winning awards, and all your accomplishments! Fantastic poem! My favorite line is "She's destined for the scream like a horror flick playing in a dream."

Thanks so much, appreciate

Great, thanks again.

Hi Weeda! Welcome back! So happy to see you rejoining the Stage 32 creative space! Your screenplay sounds incredibly rich and emotionally powerful. I love stories that blend spiritual themes with grit and real human struggle. All That Matters sounds like it hits all the right notes.

I would love to connect and learn more about your journey and creative process. Let’s definitely cheer each other on!

You're welcome, Weeda Anderson.

Thank you, Smith Ade

Weeda Anderson happy to see more creatives. what are your plans for your feature script?

Hi Smith Ade that's fantastic to hear! Sounds like you've been getting down in the writing groove! Well you're at the right place to look for collaborations and connections! Have you hear of the The Writers' Room by chance? If not, Stage 32's Writers' Room acts as a hub for exactly what you are looking for!

Smith Ade Good for you, Are you writing features or shorts? If you have a feature a great way to get it made is to first align yourself with a producer who can help you make it into a proof of concept. This is what I did for one of my films, The Luring and shopped that to my investors. A doc that I'm currently a producer one we shot an interview that we used for a sizzle reel and that seems to be gaining attention. I hope this helps.

Welcome. You’re in the right place. I found one of the best experiences in growing as a writer is when you are writing and directing (and cinematography) your own short. This isn’t the short you’re pouring thousands of dollars in. This is the short to help you see what filmmaking is all about. Then you can work with professional cinematographers, sound designers, etc.

Hi Smith,

I really admire your energy and openness to collaboration—your passion definitely comes through! I’m developing a story based on a powerful, real-life family saga involving wealth, betrayal, secrecy, and a dramatic generational downfall. It’s something I’ve lived close to, and I’ve recently written a one-page treatment for what I envision as a limited series or possibly a scripted reality concept.

If you’re open to reading it, I’d love to share it with you and see if it resonates. I’m looking to team up with someone who can help bring this story to life with emotional depth and strong character work—two things you mentioned you’re passionate about.

Let me know if you’re interested—I’d be grateful to connect and possibly collaborate.

Best,

Jodi

Hi Jodi,

Wow, first off, thank you. Your message genuinely made my day. It’s rare to come across someone who leads with heart and a compelling story concept. Your project already has the ingredients I love most, emotional complexity, real-life roots, and layered characters. That mix of wealth, betrayal, and generational secrets? Sounds like the kind of story that writes itself... but also demands serious finesse to bring out its full weight.

I would be honored to take a look at your one-page treatment. Feel free to send it my way, and let’s see how our creative energies align.

Looking forward to diving into your world.

Best,

Great to, sort of, meet you!

Welcome and you joined the right community.

Also, I think your post got cut off after "I’m looking for:"

Nice logline! "Money Heist meets Train to Busan" instantly paints a cool picture and there is even an international appeal by having the location be a bullet train, which other films have also utilized, have you thought about entering screenplay competitions to get visibility?

You could post your series on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu.

Steven Boyle Hi Steven, my oh my, you have been busy! Beyond what Maurice has shared, I’d say network on Stage32 like crazy. Look for Producers who are working in animation and share your work with them.

Also, you can try reaching out to the Stage 32 staff at successstage32.com and share what your desires with them.

Here’s wishing you all the best,

Geoff

Thank you

You're welcome. Steven Boyle. Hope you're having a great week and enjoying summer! You could also join Stage 32's Writers' Room to submit to Open Writing Assignments when there’s an OWA that matches your series.

This post explains the OWAs: www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/What-is-an-OWA

You can sign up for your first month of the Writers' Room free here: www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip

Could be interesting.

Rutger Oosterhoff , Really appreciate your reaction. We’re currently doing market research and are especially interested in what you personally need to work more effectively and agile in co-production and distribution. If you’re open to a short chat, we’d really value learning from your experience.

Yes, sure we can do a short chat through Messenger next week. Just asked to connect on Facrbook. But give me a few days, I had a tough time working on a short screenplay; I have to get out of the delirium I'm still in right now.

Understandable, make sure to reach out through a PM and take some time to land. We appreciate your help!

Hi, Bita Mohammadi. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Screenwriting Lounge to the Introduce Yourself Lounge since you're introducing yourself and promoting your series. Let me know if you have any questions.

I suggest adding a profile picture and a detailed bio to your profile. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you. A detailed bio will help you build relationships/network on here. You could add things to your bio like why you became an agent/etc., your accomplishments, your goals, and what movies and shows you like.

You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture."

You can edit your bio by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner of Stage 32, then selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu and scrolling down to "Bio" underneath "About Bita."

You could pitch your series to managers, executives, etc. through Stage 32's Pitch Sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions). The Pitch Sessions are mainly to get feedback on pitches, but members have gotten managers, signed shopping agreements, etc. through the sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).

You could also post your pilot script on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your pilot script on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Hi! I don't have this problem, and I easily unsubscribed from all unnecessary emails.

Hi Racheal... I am from Tassie too but live in Brisbane. I just ask the Stage 32 team, and they fix it for me or provide a link.

Hi, Racheal Leigh. Unsubscribing to all the topics should help. And the more you open a certain kind of email, the more of those emails you'll get.

You can also divert emails to a folder other than your main inbox. Works well for messages not requiring prompt attention but still from a source you're interested in.

Hey Racheal Leigh
