Hey Brady Kesling I can relate to avoiding my creative side for a long time. Here's to a new year of embracing it, this community and the future ahead!

I’m sure your wealth of experiences will make your film wonderful!

great to “meet” you, Brady. I’m a screenwriter/actor in Cleveland. I’ve played concerts in Toledo and was a day player in a film there a couple of years ago. I just sent you a friend request. if you want to script swap, let me know!

Hi, Ryan Faille! Welcome to the community. Very nice to meet you too. I write Thriller and Horror too, mainly Horror. What's your favorite Thriller or Horror sub-genre to write?

Hi and welcome! Ryan Faille Good luck, this is a great space for gathering insight and growing your network. Just keep writing and trust that you belong.

Maurice Vaughan I really enjoy psychological thrillers. My bachelors is in psychology and I truly love the feeling of dread that the genre can instill. Great meeting you!

Loving that energy Ryan Faille , let's go do what we love.

Great meeting you too, Ryan Faille! I might write a Psychological Thriller. Do you do consulting for Psychological Thriller scripts? If so, I'll hire you if I write one.

Happy Holidays, Jeremy M. Drafall! Looking forward to seeing what play you make!

Hi Jay A Swendris, I sent in an inquiry this fall to Bill & Melinda Gates around creating key boards and apps for dyslexic people to be able to read and write with a translation option like social media platform function. I believe it would change lives if there were books made for dyslexic people to read as well without the stress of translating stories. especially for young children in schools, Jay you and yours have a beautiful holiday

Maurice Vaughan It's about friends on a night out and what happens when you don't follow the rules.

Hi H - I agree with Maurice, you should definitely be putting your work on your profile. Getting involved with the Stage 32 community means putting your best foot forward to the community so the producers and agents here that you’re interested to working with can look at your material on your profile. i’d also recommend getting visible inside the lounges because a lot of the executives that we work with read all of the lounge conversations and look for collaborators who are contributing.

H. Romero-Gomez Happy Holidays Romero! There are so many ways to connect with producers and agents, depending on the place you are at in your career. I would suggest checking out the amazing webinars and seminars on seeking representation, filmmaking and screenplay markets, and also contacting the success team, success@stage32.com, to figure out what type of producers and agents would be the best fits to reach out to.

posting scripts and work helps big time I put up all my finished work . Had great feedback . working on a press pack now with my co wrighter . to send out . I heard that's the next step before manager.

Thank you all for the great suggestions.

You're welcome, H. Romero-Gomez. Reach out to the Success Team at success@stage32.com. Geoff and his team can help you connect with reps and producers.

Best of luck Ashley Renee Smith with your new home and novel! Happy Holidays!

Hi Ashley Renee Smith so excited for you! For me, this next week, I am excited about going to Colorado to see my mom, my brother, SIL, niece, and nephew for Christmas. Bummed it won't be snowing though. I will be playing, eating, drinking, and savoring every minute of it.

Love this post Ashley Renee Smith and your smile could light up any room! Love hearing what you're up to and congrats again on the house move!

I tell you all the time what a gem of a colleague you are. How smart, and bright, and kind, and savvy you are. How blessed I am to call you a partner in our work. So you already know what it is lol Do more of what you've done in 2025 and you're going to kill it in 2026 and I'm excited that I get to get a front row seat so the show.

Ashley Renee Smith, my soul sister <3 Congratulations on the new house! Moving boxes and all, it feels like the perfect metaphor for this season: shifting, expanding, making space for what’s next. I hope the transition is gentle and filled with small joys. As for the holidays, I’m looking forward to a mix of rest, reconnection, and a little creative spark where it finds me. Even in the quiet moments, the stories keep whispering, and I’m grateful for that. Thank you for everything you pour into Stage 32. The honesty, the care, the leadership, the invitation to show up as we are. Wishing you a warm, restorative holiday season in your new home. LY <3

What’s up Maurice? I’m just going to have a great dinner, and hang out with the family as I watch Basketball all day, lol. I will be going to a couple parties on the weekend though, so it’s going to be a fun week. You got anything special planned?

How you doing Amanda? It’s a Supernatural/ Slasher horror film. The concept is about the towns most hated woman who just happens to be a witch, befriends a bullied teenager, and turns him to a monstrous killer. I really like it because it’s something that the Horror genre never really seen before .

Hope you and your family have an incredible time, Paul Davis! I'll be spending time with family, resting, watching movies and sports, writing, etc. What's your basketball team?

Maurice Vaughan , my team is the New York Knicks, and The Los Angeles Lakers. I hope you enjoyed your holiday. After the holidays we should work on putting a Movie Project together?

Cool, Paul Davis. My team is the Golden State Warriors. I have a lot on my plate with projects and other things, but I'm looking forward to collaborating on a project one day!
