Happy Saturday Stage 32 Family!
I just wanted to reintroduce myself, as I like to do every so often. My name is Ryan, and I'm originally from Chicago! I've been here in Los Angeles for four, almost five, years now, and I am a screenwriter.
I started my first screenplay, the psychological thriller "Confidence," in 2023. I'm currently doing my third rewrite and final pass, focusing heavily on pacing and story beats. Soon after, I look forward to moving into the pitching stage and starting the process of looking for representation—ideally in a natural way through film festivals and networking events.
I started my second screenplay, entitled "One of Them," this past September, and I’m currently deep in character development. I love seeing this new story come to life!
As far as my writing, I approach every story with an undertone of mental health, as I'm a big believer in challenging both the viewer and myself to go inward. This thematic focus can be explored through the characters or the story itself.
I wish everyone here luck, and for any newcomers, welcome! This is a great community with so much valuable information and insight. I'm blessed to be a part of it.
Have a great weekend!

Hey, Ryan Wilford. Hope you're enjoying the weekend! Mental health is really important! I think there needs to be more movies, shows, etc. about it. I plan on writing a script about mental health.
