My First Script Request!

Hey guys!

I finally got a request for my screenplay, The Mourning House! I am so beyond thrilled and I really really really hope they get back to me about it.

I think I've only sent 3 pitches on Stage 32 for this particular script, so I'm surprised how quickly it was requested.

I'm feeling optimistic!

Marco Pieper

That's awesome! May your screenplay be optioned, sold and produced next!

Anthony Moore

Congratulations on your request!

John X. Ingram

Absolutely amazing, amazing, amazing work! Your low amount of pitches shows just how unique and creative of a writing you are; you're clearly drawing people in quite quickly.

The Ledger: The Project That Survived 21 Attempts

Hi everyone,

Over the past few weeks, I’ve submitted 21 original projects here on Stage 32.

And out of all of them, only one survived.

“The Ledger” — a symbolic psychological thriller — was the only script officially accepted by a producer.

It wasn’t luck.

It wasn’t even the best-written one.

It was the o...

Just 25 days ago, I had barely 3 concepts in hand. Today, I’ve completed 22 official pitch sessions on Stage32 — each one carrying a different original project. And each project came from a moment of pain, isolation, or a question that had no answer.

Has anyone ever done this much, this fast? I don’t...
