A free and open forum. The place to discuss anything on your mind film, television and theater related…or not.
So, I am a producer-fixer from India and in this business for a decade now. Pre-covid, lives were smoother and I would get multiple shoot enquiries all year round. Did some really big gigs with big brands and production houses. But post-covid, something changed and shifted and things became slower t...

I need help in finding out if there are any groups and organizations that help at-risk youth and rehabilitate people through media arts and theater arts. I have tried with no success, or I get more then I originally thought I would find.
What are your creative goals for 2026? Sound off here and find the support you need!
I'm finishing my current script right now. After that, I'll be tackling the next. Next month, I'll start certifying. Gonna get my work in front of some professional folks. Time to sell some of these scripts.
Great question Amanda Toney. I’m currently finishing an IP catalog for 2026–2027 focused on collaboration. My goal is to attach strong writers to multiple high-concept IP projects across film, TV, ani...

Amanda Toney I just finished my initial screenplay project over the weekend - excited with how it turned out. Have several other projects in the works that I’m hoping to finish within the next couple...

In 2026, I am working a variety of writing projects that include 2-3 novella series and short stories along with a few short film scripts I have put off for some time now. Plan is to self-publish before or by September 2026.
Take my short film to production and get more shoots under my company. Things get tough as a freelancer and need some solid work to justify the decision of quitting my day job. Haha.
I am curious if anyone else has seen this movie. I just watched it last night, and it has really stuck with me so much. If anyone has seen it, I would love to discuss and hear your thoughts. I am not a fan of South Korean horror per se, as (at least from my limited experience) it seems so culturally...

Ok, no problem, Darrell Pennington.
I watched Incantation, Darrell Pennington. It's one of the creepiest, scariest movies I've seen. You're right about the opening. I really cared about the protagonist and her daughter. That made the sc...

So creepy. I have not really watched other S.K. horror (aside from Parasite) but if this is what I have to look forward to I may have to explore more.
What were your thoughts on the frequent tonal shif...

I think they handled the tonal shifts really well, Darrell Pennington! The dramatic moments, family moments, and humorous moments got me comfortable, making me let my guard down for the scary and cree...

Maurice Vaughan for sure. I'm bruised from that type of feedback that doesn't feel warranted haha.
I need help up loading to Amazon video prime & also transfer my movie from film hub to a Amazon video prime account. Can anyone help with this?
Happy New Year.

Before you even finish making your feature film, you should have already started marketing it and building an audience.
On my Patreon, I discuss this as I’m learning myself for my own feature film in development, THE WOMAN WHO KNOWS.
Check out my Patreon and even though it’s the basics, build on that...

Have you ever wondered what a famous movie scene would be like from the other side?
How about the lobby shootout in The Martix from the security guards' side? You're going against two (essentially) superheroes that wipe out your squad in what must be about 30 seconds. The scripted action scene is abo...

Hey, Michael Dzurak. I haven't, but it could be fun, and that's a great way to come up with script ideas and scene ideas. Thanks for the idea.
It could also be done with non-action movies. For example, the 1990 dramatic comedy Rosencrantz & Guilderstern are Dead is from the point of view of two minor characters in the famous play Hamlet by S...

I need to check out Rosencrantz & Guilderstern are Dead, Michael Dzurak. I just added it to my list. Thanks.
My sketch group @warriorprincess10000 is looking for women interested in helping create comedy, who live in the DMV area. We are already up and running but are working to rebrand and refocus our content. These are mainly filmed sketches for social media, so we’re looking for actors, directors, edito...

Working in film, publishing or media…you try to utilize with what you got. What I mean is that, if I am drawing storyboards on a film job or an illustration for another client, I think about composition and design. Here is an example of a layout I did for a client. A tryptch design using a close up/...

Every success story begins with a first step.
If you’re ready to take yours, join me, Ashley Smith, Head of Community at Stage 32, for our January Community Open House Webcast happening Wednesday, January 28th at 12:00 pm PT!

Whether you’re chasing representation, looking for collaborators, or simply ready to stop creating in isolation, the Stage 32 Community Open House is your moment to show up, be seen, and start making real progress.
This free live event isn’t a presentation—it’s a fully interactive session led by you and guided by Ashley Smith, Head of Community at Stage 32. You’ll have the opportunity to share your goals, ask questions, and tell us exactly what resources or support you’re looking for right now in your creative journey.
Ashley will walk you through the most powerful tools and features on Stage 32, including how to build a strong profile that acts as your virtual business card—clearly showcasing your skills, interests, and creative voice. You’ll learn how to participate in the free Stage 32 Lounges in a way that positions you as someone others want to collaborate with, including how to make a compelling post, contribute to ongoing conversations, and stay consistently active in a way that builds visibility and trust.
You’ll also learn how to keep up with the latest industry news, platform updates, and community insights through the Stage 32 Blog, and how to access Stage 32 Education, Certification, and Script Services that align with your next big move.
This session will close with a live Q&A tailored specifically to your goals and questions—whether you’re a writer, director, producer, actor, editor, or someone who wears multiple hats.
Wherever you’re starting from, this is your launchpad. Join us and take that first step with intention.
If you can’t attend live, don’t worry — registering ensures you’ll receive the full recording to watch anytime from anywhere.
