Introduce Yourself : Young Film Maker in the working! by Brandon Leung

Hey, Brandon Leung. Welcome to the community. Here's a blog that'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

I'm a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. Since you’re a minor, make sure your parents or guardians are aware of your account and have access to it. Also, be especially careful about privately connecting with anyone on the platform. If you or your parents/guardians ever have any questions or need support, feel free to reach out to me.

Congratulations on making your first Horror short film! I just watched the trailer. Your movie looks scary!

Great to meet you, Brandon Leung! Are you taking any filmmaking classes? I used to teach IB Film and Film & Video production to teens at a public high school - I highly recommend trying new and different challenges to keep growing your skills.

Actually, if you're interested in learning more about Cinematography, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out - scrolling through and commenting on - Stage 32's Cinematography Lounge:

Keep in mind that Stage 32 is only for other professionals in the industry, so this is your opportunity to not just learn from others, but also build those relationships. In fact, with every project, try to meet at least ONE new person you can work with again. Human Resources are WAY more valuable than tech ones. Keep your people happy!

Hey Brandon Leung, thanks for sharing your passion and your work. So great to see a young filmmaker diving in and creating! The best way to grow your craft is exactly what you’re doing: making films, experimenting, and putting yourself out there. Keep going, keep filming, and don’t be afraid to try new styles and techniques along the way.

If you haven’t already, I’d recommend joining the Cinematography Lounge to connect with others who share your love for camera work: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/cinematography. It’s a great place to ask questions, get feedback, and grow your skills. Can’t wait to see what you create next!

Maurice Vaughan Hey Mr. Vaughan, thanks for letting me know about the navigation stuff! I really appreciate all this newly found support from everyone in the comments! I had no idea people would even see my post or comment on it! I've told my parents about my account already, and they approve of my public posting and whatnot. I will make sure to reach out to you if I have questions or need some advice! Thanks!

Karen "Kay" Ross Nice to meet you as well! I am currently not taking any film classes, but I am taking tutoring every weekend for my film aspirations and future productions! I took video editing in 8th grade but other then that, I really have no experience in film making, but my tutor has taught me so much since we started sessions (around September). I will make sure to keep updating my posts and broadcasting my new films for all to see! Thanks for the positivity, I'm hoping to make it big in this industry!

Ashley Renee Smith Hey Ms. Smith! I appreciate all the kudos and respect you have given me from this! I read over all your advice and I will 100% make sure to keep pumping out high quality films and trying out new techniques, genres, and film making strategies! Thanks for the appreciation and I will definitely keep you in mind for my next film!

Hi Brandon Leung It's great to meet you! Thank you for sharing your story with us!

You're welcome, Brandon Leung. Yeah, reach out if you ever have questions or need advice. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!
