I had the script, the DP, the studio and the composer. All I didn’t have was the money. A common experience for filmmakers, and nothing to mark this out as noteworthy. We decided to take a punt and go ahead with the auditions; we sent out the call for talent (one actress needed), we booked a room in an office block and auditioned five different actresses. There was agreement in who we should ask to fulfil the role of ‘Sorrow’. I got home, the house was in darkness, so I went into the lounge...

If you grew up in the 80s, you’ll remember the thrill of turning a page and being asked to decide your fate. If you climb the mountain, turn to page 42. If you stay in the cave, turn to page 87. One decision could lead to treasure. Another could lead to a dead end. And sometimes, you’d get eaten by a dragon. As a very proud child of the 80s, I’ve realised something recently - publishing and film feel exactly like that series. You start with an idea. A spark. A “what if?” Then the...

My fellow filmmakers, my name is Tim Ogletree, and I’ve been chasing this thing since January 2009, just on the heels of the 2007-2008 WGA strike. After graduating from The University of Texas at Austin with a Radio-TV-Film degree, I made the official move out to LA with a pretty killer short film and a truck full of clothes, books, and DVDs. The short caught some eyes, landed my writing partner and me a manager, and catapulted us into meetings and pitches that led to our first feature script. T...

Sometimes a show takes an already beloved story and launches it into an entirely new level of cultural impact. That’s exactly what happened with HEATED RIVALRY. Adapted from Rachel Reid’s popular Game Changer romance novel series, the show already had a passionate readership behind it. But when the six-episode series premiered in November 2025, it didn’t just satisfy existing fans, it exploded into a global phenomenon, dominating streaming charts, expanding its audience dramatically, and spa...

It’s your blueprint, pitch deck, and creative roadmap all in one, helping you clearly define the world of your show, your characters, and the overarching themes that make it compelling. Whether you’re aiming to sell your show, secure a spot in a writer’s room, or simply refine your storytelling, understanding how to craft a strong series bible is essential.

Peak TV is dead but it's not all doom and gloom. A new, exciting model is rising from the ashes of a saturated market. The television landscape is shifting in ways that create real opportunity for creatives and producers who understand where the market is heading. After years of streaming excess, we're seeing a return to fundamentals: pilot season is back, traditional pilot orders are back, and buyers are gravitating toward the formats that have always worked: police procedurals, crime dramas,...

If you're waiting to be discovered as a screenwriter, I have bad news: random wish upon a star magic discovery is a myth. Sort of. The writers getting reps and landing deals aren't magically stumbled upon by benevolent executives sorting through unsolicited email submissions. They're being deliberate and calculated in how they're positioning themselves in front of decision-makers with actual, immediate needs. That's exactly what Stage 32's Open Writing Assignments (OWAs) do. They put your ma...
