Happy Tuesday, cine-friends. Sharing a quick highlight from a new Stage 32 blog because it’s a big moment for the community.
Stage 32 was recently featured in a Forbes article about the Stage 32 Certification Program, with Forbes framing it as a glimpse of where “film school and career education” are headed. The blog explains why this matters: Stage 32’s training is built and taught by working industry professionals, it’s designed to prepare individuals for real-world production jobs (not theory), and certified members are added to a global database that film commissions and production teams can use to find crew. The post also shares some concrete examples of programs being rolled out in multiple regions, as production is expanding faster than the available trained workforce.

If you’re curious about how Certification works, what departments it covers (production management, AD, production accounting, script supervising, locations, post, legal, and more), or how it could support your career or your local film community, this one’s worth a read.
If you’ve done any of the Certification courses, I’d love to hear your experience. Did it actually help you feel more “set-ready,” or open any doors for you?
