Success Stories

The legendary writer and actor Gore Vidal told us, "A talent for drama is not a talent for writing, but is an ability to articulate human relationships." In this time of social distancing, we’re seeing relationships through a brand new lens and are looking for human connection. There has never been a greater need to explore the nuances of Drama than right now. Which is why...   Stage 32 is thrilled to announce our 2nd Annual Feature Drama Contest!   Drama, when done well, can elevate a...

Hey there. This is awkward. You don’t know me (more than likely). But I know you. I kinda studied you… mainly because you’re me. You have been at this thing we call “the industry” or “writing” or “film-making” or “storytelling” for somewhere between 8-30 years and you still have to answer the question, “You worked on anything I’ve seen?” with the answer, “Probably not.” I even wrote a book about you. (Seriously.) It’s called Working Artists: A Middle-Class Artists Survival Guideand, no, you do...

Yes! Stage 32 DOES work... Just thought I would offer encouragement and some light in the darkness that is the year 2020. I come to you from the great state of Texas. I joined Stage 32 over a year ago, after years of trying to make connections. If I remember correctly, the first feedback I received ended with, "Writer needs to READ MORE scripts to understand what a GOOD script looks like". Ouch. Yes, he put "READ MORE" in all caps. I was devastated and thought that maybe writing wasn't for m...

Pulitzer Prize-winner Carl Sandburg said, "The impact of television on our culture is...indescribable.There’s a certain sense in which it is nearly as important as the invention of printing.” Television continues to experience its Golden Age as a multitude of new streamers and premium networks emerge, while existing networks continue to take greater creative and commercial risks with exciting original ideas. Across all platforms, formats and genres, content creators for television are on the...

I had been thinking like me; I needed to think like them... I became a member of Stage 32 in 2015.
