Hello, readers of Stage 32! My name is Tennyson E. Stead, I’ve been working in entertainment all my life, and I’ve written more than 50 screenplays - many of them as a ghostwriter, which means a vastly disproportionate portion of my writing is both paid and uncredited work.

For decades, the film industry has been dominated by studios, large distribution channels, lawyer firms and big agencies. The traditional Hollywood power structure has created many issues. This includes many legal, agent and financial intermediaries; a lack of transparency; piracy; inadequate protection against violation of intellectual property rights; cumbersome and lengthy processes for financial payment of funds and a general lack of transparency in financial and legal information. Is...

IMDb- Internet Movie Database, is the top search engine for Hollywood. The first place we go to validate someone’s credentials and experience is IMDb. Whether you are an actor, director, writer, producer, grip, makeup artist, cinematographer, or editor- more than likely you have a profile on the site with your resume. However, the main website only goes so far, and so deep. The membership component of IMDb Pro gives you access to more proprietary information that is not known to the general pu...
