Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

First, congratulations to all of you who have already participated in our monthly Introduce Yourself Weekend! Thousands of connections have been made between entertainment creatives and professionals from around the globe. Whether you are a long-time member or brand new to Stage 32, take a moment to pop over to the Introduce Yourself Lounge and say hello before the end of the weekend.

First up, we're looking at A24. What makes the look of an A24 film? Can you replicate it in your own projects? This brand has produced some of the most note-worthy films in the 21st century, including Oscar-winner EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE. In this video from Zach Ramelan, he provides tips for how you can create a cohesive visual style that's cinematic by taking you behind how he made the film SWAY.

Next, in honor of Introduce Yourself Weekend, I wanted to highlight this great conversation between Natasha Lyonne and Melanie Lynskey for Variety's Actors on Actors series. In addition to be two incredibly talented performers with long-standing careers in the industry across a wide range of projects, these are long-time friends having met on the film DETROIT ROCK CITY and continued to work together over the years, including BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER and THE INTERVENTION (both films also included actor-director Clea DuVall). In watching the conversation, it's clear how much personal relationships have impacted both of these performers being hired for game-changing roles in their careers. You never know what connection you make could have a similarly powerful impact on your own career.
