My name is Savannah Cross. I have written a dark fantasy horror script called Darkness of Death that I am very passionate about. But I do not have that much money to pitch my script to executives on here

I never been a professional writer but I dream of it because some times I wrote a story about my past

First, congratulations on finishing your script, Savannah. Having a story you're passionate about is the most important asset of all. There are still powerful ways to move forward. Start by using the free resources here: polish your logline and synopsis in your profile, network genuinely in the lounges, and participate in discussions.

Savannah Cross The paid sessions here are not actual pitch sessions, they are practice sessions, as are stated in the product descriptions. If they were actual pitch sessions, they would be illegal. Real pitch sessions are never paid for. You have to reach out the producers directly.

You're right, Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg. The main purpose of the Pitch Sessions is to get feedback to improve a pitch, but sometimes the executives, managers, etc. will request scripts, sign writers, etc. (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).

Maurice Vaughan Which is fine to say for S32 as a social media platform, but the producers, if they receive compensation, can be tagged with pay-to-play and that ruins careers in this industry. So best to make it clear (which the advertising does),

How do I reach out to the producers directly?

Hi Savannah and welcome to Stage 32. I can see you're wanting to talk to filmmakers directly. I get that. And I understand the passion too. Trust me.
But the reality is that you're where you need to be. You can't really just talk to producers or directors about business directly and unsolicited. That's not how it works. But see, here you have the education side. But the lounges are for networking.
Networking is how people start seeing your name. And you don't really want to spam post about needing to talk to someone.
Post about how your cat inspired a funny scene.
Post about finding 17 out of place question marks in your pages.
Post about writing struggles, wins, craft talk. Post about how that one time some friend or family member inspired you. Or broke you.
My point is, the film industry is a business but it isn't so cut and dry as civi business. It's a bit more personal because it's art. So, we too have to be more personal.
So, get into the lounge spaces. Post. Talk. Chit chat. Trust me, you have no idea who you might be chit chatting with. Most of the time I don't until it dawns on me way after the fact. And I know folks hate hearing me yap about networking when they first get here, but it's the truth of the matter.
One conversation can change things. Just one.
