Bring Your Questions: Join Us for the FREE Stage 32 Community Open House

Bring Your Questions: Join Us for the FREE Stage 32 Community Open House

Wednesday, September 23rd at 12:00pm PT

You have questions. You're curious about how to actually make the most of your time on Stage 32, how to use the resources here successfully, how to build genuine relationships that lead somewhere meaningful, and how to move forward with real intention. How to find the right collaborators, producers, financiers, reps, distributors, etc.

That's exactly what this FREE event is designed for.

Our Community Open House is a live, fully interactive conversation hosted by me, Ashley Smith, Head of Community here at Stage 32. It's a genuine gathering where you get to show up, share what you're working on, ask the questions that have been on your mind, and get direct guidance tailored to where you actually are in your journey.

Whether you've attended one before or this is your first, the conversation is different every single time. It's shaped by the members who take the time to join, be present, and bring their real questions to the table. Your voice, your goals, and your curiosity make each Open House uniquely valuable.

Free Registration: https://www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32s-september-2026-community-open-house-webcast

We'll cover the tools and features on Stage 32 that most consistently create momentum for members, and we'll talk about what's happening on the platform that you don't want to miss out on. September lands us in a genuinely exciting stretch of the year. We're coming off Venice and Toronto International, in the middle of New York Film Festival, heading into Austin Film Festival, and gearing up for our annual November Write Club campaign. There's real opportunity to position yourself for what's ahead, and we'll talk about how to do exactly that.

We'll close with a live Q&A focused entirely on you, your questions, your projects, and your next steps. And if you can't join us live, don't worry! Registering guarantees you the full recording so you can watch it anytime, from anywhere.

Come as you are. Bring your questions. Let's have a real conversation.

Is it right or wrong to ‘read’ people’s deepest secrets?

Imagine our world with a slight modification: humanity discovered a dimension of souls, but the only thing they are doing with it is spying on each other.

How would you react? Is it right or wrong to ‘read’ people’s deepest secrets? But the main question is: what is actually a soul?

Very intriguing concept, Elena! Exploring privacy, morality and the nature of the soul through animation opens up some fascinating possibilities. Wishing you success in finding the right partners for The Sibylla Forest!

Hey Elena! I LOVE this concept -- exploring the soul? Sign me up! Are you looking to produce it independently, or are you hoping to pitch the concept with your show bible to execs?

I run a film marketing agency called Vanquish Media Group. We work with indie filmmakers on the part that comes after the film is done, which is release strategy and getting an audience to actually show up. Around 200 films at this point, mostly docs and narrative features.
