Here’s the lesson I want to share today, especially for anyone pitching on Stage 32:
If they didn’t respond or passed, circle back when you’re more prepared. Yes, there’s a caveat: sometimes a pass really does mean “not for our slate right now.” T...

Congrats. What is this story about?
One of the success stories I have, working in film, media, fashion and music, is a job for MTV. I was hired by them to work on their show, MTV’s THIS WEEK IN NEWS. Another job in the journey of a working artist, but it was one of the biggest jobs I had with a big media/film/video client. Besides dra...

I have Asperger Syndrome, so I am a private person. But I am also a dog lover, so I use the picture of one of my dogs.

I’m over the moon to share that production has officially begun on an indie project I wrote last year: Guardian “Anghells”, which had its first day of shooting yesterday on location in Norfolk, U.K.
Directed and produced by indie filmmaker Andy Blithe of Aturn Films, Guardian Anghells is a mockumenta...

My weird 1-hour comedy pilot just made the semi-finals! Yay! Congratulations to all other semi-finalists, and for everyone who didn't make it this time, don't give up! Eat that rejection like a vitamin!
Thank you, Nambasi!
My pleasure, Robin
Thumbs up! You're going places Robin
Yay! My weird dark comedy, WRITTEN BY HENRIETTA BLOOM is now a FINALIST for Stage32's 5th Annual TV Comedy Screenwriting Contest!! Thanks, Stage32! You guys are awesome!
I’m a newer writer in the industry and I’m really excited—I recently got a request for one of my short scripts! It’s about 60 pages and I’m still polishing it up and expanding it to a feature (debating between two endings). The exec mentioned he usually doesn’t consider shorts, but said the premise...

Response times can really vary, even when a producer shows interest. The key is to be proactive after a certain amount of time has passed. I would definitely reach out after two months. Keep it positive, but active. Good luck!

I’d also consider the response—whatever it eventually leads to—a win in itself.
If waiting is holding you back from moving forward, I think it’s perfectly fine to reach out politely. The fact that the...

Expand commentJust catching up on this amazing thread — Adam and Leonardo, your points really resonate. That idea of holding the core of the story sacred while staying flexible with the tools that carry it… I couldn’t agree more.
In my own rewrites, I’ve found that the hardest part isn’t the technical execution — it’s being honest with myself about what’s not working yet. That’s where trusted feedback (even the tough kind) becomes gold. Not every note makes it in, but almost every note teaches me something.
Appreciate this whole conversation — it’s a reminder that great writing isn’t just about inspiration. It’s about iteration, humility, and knowing when to fight for a choice… and when to let it go.
