Stage 32 Success Stories

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...

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

But I know I wrote like time was chasing me.

I pitched my work to major producers in Hollywood, and throughout this intense run:

• 1 project was officially accepted (The Ledger – Write It Down, Watch It Cost You)

• 12 projects were rejected

• 9 are still under review

And I fully redeveloped 3 projects after rejection and pitched them again — stronger.

Because stories I believe in don’t die. They evolve.

In these projects, I wrote about:

• A quiet man… hiding a secret larger than anyone can imagine

• A mysterious notebook that gives you whatever you write — but takes a part of you in return

• A girl who wakes in a world of 32 strange stages… and with each step, a hidden chain breaks

Some were ignored.

Some intrigued producers.

But all of them proved that what I write deserves to be seen — even if recognition comes late.

I don’t write to impress — I write to confess.

Because silence, too, becomes unbearable.

Today, I’m not looking for praise.

I’m looking for eyes that see… ears that understand… and a heart brave enough to believe.

If you’re a filmmaker, a producer, a screenwriter, or just someone who never gave up on their voice…

Maybe we come from the same place.

Special thanks to Stage32 for being the bridge between passion and opportunity.

If you’re looking for bold, original, and cinematic stories — my inbox is open.

I’m H. S. Almahsen,

And this isn’t the end —

It’s a beginning that cannot be stopped.

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.

Congratulations Stephen!

That’s a huge milestone — securing literary representation is no small feat, especially for a character-driven war drama. Over the Berm sounds powerful and timely, and I’m sure...
