Update on the Development of the Winning Script from the Stage 32 Microbudget Horror Script Competition! Originally Seen in Deadline Hollywood

My screenplay, THE EYE OF OWUO, was the Grand Prize Winner in the Microbudget Horror Script Competition presented by Stage 32, Trick Candle Productions and Glasshouse Distribution. The grand prize not only included a $5,000 option agreement, but a mentorship and the opportunity to have the screenplay greenlit with a $100,000 budget through Trick Candle Productions and Glass House Distribution. One may assume that the screenplay was perfect as written. After all it’s a contest winner. Right? Ex...

The Holiday Jump Start: Prepare to take a Giant Leap Forward!

Hello Stage 32 Community! Wow. Believe it or not, you made it through a harrowing year. I want you to use this moment to very quickly reflect - and take stock - on all that you have personally dealt with - and overcome - in 2020. The world kicked off the “roaring” 2020’s with an inauspicious start. And then, we had a pretty rough middle of the year. And now, it seems we are in for an anxiety-inducing Finale. But, we are enthusiastic. We are hopeful. We are empowered. We are Stage 32. Amidst th...

Miami-based Writer Hired by LA-based Producers After Connecting Through Stage 32

You look down at the DELETE key, sensing its magnet power drawing you in. You sigh, asking why keep going? You hear the echoes in your brain - "This is crap, get rid of it, you’ve been at this for years, give it up…" You move towards the Delete key…asking yourself - "Why do you do this writing lark…?" I have been a member of Stage 32 since 2015. I’m not much for social media, and initially would tell my friends I’ve joined "Facebook for the Industry." I am in a quite unique situation as a sc...

Film That Started as a Pitch on Stage 32 is In Theaters Now - CHICK FIGHT (Bella Thorne, Malin Ackerman, Alec Baldwin)

You can absolutely do this. And convincing you of that fact is my main goal in writing this blog. I don't want to drag this down with too much personal information. Just know that I've lived in Pittsburgh my entire life, and when I started writing, I had no formal training, no industry contacts, and no idea how to even format a screenplay properly. If you can in any way relate to my original situation, please know that it's absolutely possible to succeed. Full disclosure: you're hearing this f...

Screenwriter working with JUMANJI & TERMINATOR Producer after connecting through Stage 32!

Hey there. This is awkward. You don’t know me (more than likely). But I know you. I kinda studied you… mainly because you’re me. You have been at this thing we call “the industry” or “writing” or “film-making” or “storytelling” for somewhere between 8-30 years and you still have to answer the question, “You worked on anything I’ve seen?” with the answer, “Probably not.” I even wrote a book about you. (Seriously.) It’s called Working Artists: A Middle-Class Artists Survival Guideand, no, you do...
