Happy Wednesday, Stage 32 Community!

As part of the Stage 32 mission, we are always looking for ways to refine and enhance the experience for both our members and our executive consultants. We work diligently to give our members access to professional, constructive feedback from and direct meetings with our executives, and we aim to provide our executives with steady exposure to emerging talent with amazing potential.

That said, we are very excited to announce a fantastic new feature here on Stage 32! Starting today, we are rolling out a program through which consultation calls and executive script reads are now available for double recommendations and meeting requests!

This option currently exists for Executive Script Coverage and we are thrilled to now offer the same for your consultations. I was happy to announce this to our executive roster this morning and they could not be more thrilled to be able to find undiscovered talent.

What Does This Change Mean?

In the past, when we've connected you with our executives in the portal we didn't have a way to track if you as a writer or your project were rated on the industry standard rating system of pass/consider/recommend and the great news is that now we can!

And, not only that, but executives can now request meetings with you after your consultation directly through the Stage 32 portal! This is access and opportunity that you can't get anywhere else!

Double Recommend Badges!

Much like Stage 32 written script coverage, if you receive a coveted "double recommend" you will automatically get an official double recommend badge displayed on your Stage 32 profile that you can also post on social media.

How Do These Badges Make A Difference?

The Double Recommend badge helps our Stage 32 members whose writing has been recommended by a working industry professional, stand out to other executives, representatives, and creators in the community at a glance!

To learn more about these badges, you can read our recent blog about them by clicking HERE!

What Is A Double Recommend?

This is an accolade for anyone who has submitted a specific piece of work to a Stage 32 executive for script coverage or consultation and the executive has provided a pass, consider, or recommend rating for both your submitted material, as well as your writing ability.

If your script receives a “Double Recommend” from the reader, your script’s logline and your bio will be included in a Stage 32 industry lookbook which is sent to over 500 industry professionals every month!

Our Double Recommend program has resulted in us setting up writers on meetings incredible places such as CAA, WME, Anonymous Content, Verve, Cold Iron, Whitewater Films, Broken Road Films,

What Is the Stage 32 Lookbook?

Any writer who walks away with a ‘Double Recommend’ gets featured in the Stage 32 Double Recommend Lookbook, which is sent to over 500 industry professionals every month.

Previous lookbooks have resulted in requests from Sony Pictures Animation, 3 Arts, Lit Entertainment (THE TOMORROW WAR with Chris Pratt), Verve, Ramo Law, The Cartel, Untitled Entertainment, Circle of Confusion, Zero Gravity Management, Mind's Eye Entertainment, Marc Platt Productions (LA LA LAND), Black Bear Pictures (THE IMITATION GAME), Polaris Pictures (OBSESSION), Energy Entertainment and more!
