I had the dream job for any film school graduate. Having won out over hundreds of resumes and some interviews, I was suddenly the Editorial Manager at MGM Studios -- the studio famously known to have "more stars than there are in the heavens." After graduating Loyola Marymount University, after writing several TV and film specs, it had become quickly clear that Steven Spielberg's job was already taken. Such are the quixotic dreams of the newly-minted neophyte in tinsel town. For those with th...

Welcome to the first weekend of 2015, everyone, and a very Happy New Year to you all. Due to travel and time constraints, there is no Weekend Blog this week. Instead, I thought it would be a great time to discuss and share our plans and goals for the coming year. Some of what I am planning on accomplishing in 2015 includes writing 2 scripts, completing my crowdsourcing book for Focal Press, dipping my toes back into acting, filming a short and implementing a myriad of Stage 32 initiatives....

Hi Stage 32. My name is Colin MacDougall and I'm a recovering Millennial. However, as you can tell by my "Less Than Jake" reference, I belong to the class of young adults who values the "good ole days" and real talent over flash in the pan focus grouping. I'm not cool enough to be a hipster, but just awkwardly self-aware enough to be cool... possibly just in my eyes but that's good enough for me. I am the product of divorce, as the majority of my peers are, and my father served in the US Navy...
