Hello all!
I'm pretty new here, and I'm ready to start my career as a creator. Even though I've done my fair share of research, I'm still a little out of sorts on where and how to start getting attention on my series...
I've created a pitch packet, series bible, and other resources and I'm even making a small reference website about me and my creations soon, but is there anything else I should know about? I'm all for learning about the industry I'm in and better gain my experience so I can pursue my career the best I can. :)

Hi, Dakota Kyle. Those things will help you get attention on your series.
I suggest posting your pilot script on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your pilot script on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)
I also suggest posting the link to your website on your Stage 32 profile when your site is ready.
What other resources do you have for your series?

Thank you!
I actually don’t have a pilot script because the drafts I have written so far is the basic outline and what the series is generally about. I wany other people to help develop pacing and assist in scripting which is why I left it in that state.
When the website is finished, I’ll be sure to post it in my profiles! The other resources aside from the written documents are certain images and small notes regarding the series…

You're welcome, Dakota Kyle. You could make a collaboration post on the Job Board (www.stage32.com/find-jobs).
Something else that might help you get attention on your series is making a sizzle reel for your series. Stage 32 has a webinar called "How to Make a Sizzle Reel That Sells Your TV Show" (www.stage32.com/education/products/how-to-make-a-sizzle-reel-that-sells-...).
Also, the body text of your first comment shows up in the Stage 32 phone app but not the web browser. I'm guessing you wrote the post in the app, so you might need to edit the comment in a web browser. That way, the comment will show up for members who get on Stage 32 with a browser. You can edit your comment by clicking "edit" beside the heart and reposting the body text.
