How many remember Disney's Gargoyles? It was one of my favorite shows. I learned it's getting a revival. I would like to help with the revival. In fact, I really think they should revive American Dragon: Jake Long and the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series as well. I would like to suggest these to Disney and how they could work.

Scammer alert
Be advised, everybody. There's a scammer going around impersonating a producer named Lloyd Segan by making fake accounts and sending networking requests. Should you accept, he'll then try to scam you out of your money and project material by sending you an email like this:
Hello [REDACTED],
Thank you...

Kenny Ortega, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tim Federle

So please, I ask you my...

What Are Some Movie Quirks That Make You Cringe?
For me, when a character has a fully loaded backpack and the character only uses one strap. As an avid hiker and backpacker, every time I see a character do this in a movie or series, I am just filled with loathing.

Knowing what really happens when people drown, I just can't take the screaming and flailing moments seriously anymore.
Writers beware
I want to make everyone on Stage 32 aware of a scam being perpetated by anr imposter posing as a real, well known Film Producer. By stealing this Producer's identity, he was phishing Stage 33 Writers to submit treatments, plot synopsis, scripts and screen plays to produce. Once I realized the Lloyd...

Log out problem
When I use Stage32, I don't log out afterwards. But I have noticed something odd. Sometimes I must log in when I return after an hour, while in other cases i need not to log in again even though I have been away for days. And yesterday it became very strange. I was in the screenwriting lounge. I wro...

The visual style is great, but could use more blurbs about the characters and story world. Treat pitch deck like a trailer. In that, we can see the characters do things, so in a pitch deck we need to be told. Likewise about the world. You can convey your themes in the world blurb.

Hi all!,

Start by separating the ask into investor, customer, and supporter pathways. Investors need a recoupment model and evidence of repeatable audience demand; crowdfunding backers need a specific series, a transparent budget, and a clear delivery promise. A short proof of concept may serve both.
An ironic whitepill
Just happened upon this video a couple hours ago that despite painting a rather bleak picture, nonetheless made me even more determined to stick to my voice for writing (and also get back to reading actual physical books lol)
What do y'all think?

I've been doing mostly e-books and PDFs (scripts, articles, etc), but I like to feel of a real book. I read two graphic novels in late 2023. My current read queue is all digital.
Weird message - a scam?
Over the past two months I got a couple of messages from this guy who claims to be "Vincent Newman".

Was this someone deleting spam/scam stuff?

Which all means that despite being tagged by the moderators and teams, this guy is still around and still doing the same thing over and over.
Stage 32 seems to have no way of stopping him.

Be on the lookout; it appears as though this scammer has now taken the profile of "Lloyd Segan." He sent me a near-identical message to "Vince's" initial message. Stay vigilant, my friends.

Bring Your Questions: Join Us for the FREE Stage 32 Community Open House
Wednesday, September 23rd at 12:00pm PT
You have questions. You're curious about how to actually make the most of your time on Stage 32, how to use the resources here successfully, how to build genuine relationships that lead somewhere meaningful, and how to move forward with real intention. How to find the right collaborators, producers, financiers, reps, distributors, etc.
That's exactly what this FREE event is designed for.
Our Community Open House is a live, fully interactive conversation hosted by me, Ashley Smith, Head of Community here at Stage 32.

Whether you've attended one before or this is your first, the conversation is different every single time. It's shaped by the members who take the time to join, be present, and bring their real questions to the table. Your voice, your goals, and your curiosity make each Open House uniquely valuable.

There's real opportunity to position yourself for what's ahead, and we'll talk about how to do exactly that.
We'll close with a live Q&A focused entirely on you, your questions, your projects, and your next steps. And if you can't join us live, don't worry! Registering guarantees you the full recording so you can watch it anytime, from anywhere.
Come as you are. Bring your questions. Let's have a real conversation.
