How to Start Your Own Podcast: 1,000 listeners in 50 days

Here’s the thing about podcasts: literally anyone with a computer can make one. And so many people do. I’m going to go out on a limb here and bet that most of you reading this are, at the very least, considering starting your own podcast. And you should! It’s a great way to reach an audience, build your brand, and/or sell a product. But here’s the other thing about podcasts: most of them suck. The vast majority of podcasts don’t get more than 136 downloads per episode in 30 days, according...

You Don't Need Hollywood's Permission (or Money) to Make a Movie!

Back in 2006, a buddy of mine had an idea. He loved horror movies, he knew someone with a camera, and he had been writing horror-themed stories since he was a teenager. He’d also been acting in theater productions around the region, and figured he could get a few people together for a weekend here and there. And that’s exactly what he did. He turned one of his stories into a script. He pulled a few folks together. He started filming. Many people do this sort of home-grown filming now, but a...

Embracing the "New Normal": Hollywood on Working from Home

Happy Saturday Stage 32! Since March, we have all been adjusting to the "new normal" of social distancing, Zoom meetings, and finally learning how to bake bread. While production rules continue to come into focus around the world, the development side of entertainment has been nonstop. Hollywood has hunkered down in their home offices and producers, agents, actors, and development executives have been reading/optioning more projects than ever (so much free time not having to commute in LA traf...

Producing Projects in the New Normal with Oscar-Nominated Producer Chris Moore & Stage 32 CEO Richard "RB Botto

The world is changing quickly and the phrase “new normal” is being bandied about with abandon. Even though filming is limited (at best), development continues to move forward and that means producers are busier than ever. In the entertainment industry, scripts continue to be optioned, projects continue to get developed, talent continues to find representation, and production is slowly starting to resume in LA and more so all over the world. So what does producing look like in this "new normal"?...
