Happy Saturday Stage 32! As many of you may know, I host an Instagram LIVE every week on @stage32 highlighting some amazing Stage 32 members from all over the world. We cover everything from how to shoot a short film 100% remotely to how to how to master the art of a director/composer relationship and more.

How do I find a talent booking agent? A talent booking agent is a resource that helps artists in getting jobs in their respective fields. The fields of expertise can include a wide variety of art forms or sports activities. Whether you are a singer, a musician, an actor, a sports person, or a writer, a talent booking agent promotes you in a professional way and arranges a job for you. Though it is not mandatory to have a talent agent, however, connecting with a professional talent booking agen...

As the season of giving winds down, we are temporarily offered a reflective reprieve before launching into the agendas of the next year. There are so many hopeful opportunities on the horizon! Book adaptations, scripts in development, scripts going into production, new technology for making films, and of course a virtual workflow that has changed the industry. Where is one to start? Since the name of the resolution game is focus, today’s posts come directly from the Introduce Yourself Lounge....

This story is real, and hopefully will inspire anyone in the film industry to understand that serendipity is real. If you keep your eyes open, amazing things can happen. In 2017, I closed my music store in Seattle after 25 years. I moved my teaching to my house, in a building that already had been converted into a music studio by the earlier owner. I was able to attract students and transitioned away from retail. I have been composing music all my life, and had gotten very involved in scoring...

So I am the director and a producer for a pilot episode called Innocent Love that we developed for a tv show called Forgotten Wisdom. It’s set in historic times but also very relatable to current day problems. It is also educational in showing how problems were once dealt with. We were able to shoot during the summer of 2020 with the intention of pitching to a local streaming service in Slovenia and maybe once even internationally. 1. How it all Started A friend of ours, Sandi told us about...

You've made a short film. You've put in your time, effort, blood, sweat, tears, and perhaps even some serious money into your project. Your goal isn't only to get your film seen, but to get it seen around the world and by people who can make a difference in your career. Would being screened by an Oscar qualifying film festival matter? How about having it screened for over 1,000 executives including managers, agents, producers, film financiers and more? Look no further. The most prestigious sho...
