NETFLIX ANNOUNCEMENT

Your Stage 32 Profile Is Doing All The Talking, Make Sure It's Working For You!

Update Your Profile on Stage 32!

When a rep, producer, filmmaker, financier, casting director, or executive lands on your Stage 32 profile, and they do, every day, they're making a snap decision within seconds about whether to keep reading. Before a single message is sent, your profile is doing all the talking for you.

If you don't have a real photo of yourself and a clear bio that says what you make and what you're building next, you're missing connections without realizing it.

Heads up: without a profile photo, you don't fully surface in our member search.

The good news? This is a two-minute fix. Once your profile is dialed in, it becomes a calling card that opens doors with:

  • Our 3,000+ executives from places like Netflix, CAA, HBO Max, Zero Gravity, and more
  • Relevant opportunities and education from Stage 32 Educators like Jacob Tierney (HEATED RIVALRY), Osgood Perkins (LONGLEGS), and Sarah Lucas (ADOLESCENCE)
  • Full visibility every time someone searches Stage 32 for collaborators on their projects

Take a few minutes today and give your profile a refresh!

Hello!

New to the Stage 32 community. I've been writing screenplays for awhile, focusing on improving my craft with each script. I mainly write full-length feature films (either drama or sci-fi). This year, I changed things up a bit and decided to learn about writing for TV. Currently working on finishing my pilot episode.

Hi John and welcome to Stage 32! The difference in episodic work and features is huge. I started with pilots first and moved into features later. How are you liking television writing?

John Petkovich

Writing my TV pilot has been a real challenge(!). Was very used to knowing about where act breaks take place in a 120-page script; in a 1-hour pilot, not so much. Re-thinking my approach to outlining and pacing the story. It's more work than I had initially thought ...

John Petkovich

Thank you Zaha! Appreciate it!

Elle Bolan

John, oh absolutely yes television shows are a big challenge. Different kind of animal altogether. I have a very healthy respect for TV staff writers. It's not a very forgiving medium.

What's your pilot about, if you don't mind to share?
