ADD-ON PRIZE OPPORTUNITIES

This optional add-on prize category will grant one eligible writer the opportunity to be mentored and have virtual development meetings with the following execs:

Tom Ratiner is a Manager, Producer, and Partner at True Talent (formerly Imagination Talent Group). With over a decade of experience supporting top-tier talent across the entertainment industry and previously working at Hollywood's most iconic studios, including Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony Pictures, Paramount, BBC Worldwide, and Dreamworks Animation, Tom is a "big picture" thinker when it comes to client management and working with executives across the business.

Tom's clients have worked on shows, such as RIZZOLI & ISLES, NEW GIRL, TEEN WOLF, BOSCH, THE BOYS, SECRET INVASION, HOUSE OF CARDS, THE AMERICANS, LIMITLESS, etc., and movies like the crime drama PROUD MARY (2018) and the RomCom ABOUT FATE (2022).

Throughout his career, Tom has functioned as a strategic liaison between creative vision and operational execution. Whether conducting in-depth talent searches for filmmaker-driven IP, managing comprehensive talent databases, or navigating the complexities of worldwide production schedules, Tom prides himself on working with precision. He offers a unique global perspective from analyzing scripts and term deals to managing high-stakes logistics with the industry's most influential leaders.

Jon Stahl is an experienced Writer and Producer who has written on series such as VEEP for HBO and the animated comedy HOUSEBROKEN on FOX. He recently wrote and produced on two upcoming series, due out later this year.

Jon began his career in production, working on projects like YOUNG ADULT, THE BIG C, and MARON. In 2013, he produced Season 1 of the Emmy-nominated series EASTSIDERS (Netflix) before getting his first high-profile writers’ room position on the NBC network sitcom MR. ROBINSON with Universal Television. Jon went on to work in the writers' room at Nickelodeon on GAMESHAKERS before writing on Veep at HBO, where he worked alongside some of the best writers in television comedy, such as Armando Iannucci.

Jon grew up with a deep sense of admiration for well-written television. Shows like Seinfeld and The Simpons painted his perception of what a great comedy could be, and impressed on him an irreverent, madcap style that shines through in his own work. Having worked in rooms on some of TV's biggest and best comedies, he is an invaluable resource for what it takes to get there and stay there.

This unique add-on benefit is separate from the Stage 32 Contest prizes and placements.
