From Our CEO“As filmmakers, producers, screenwriters and actors ourselves, all of us at Stage 32 are devastated for all the filmmakers, and everyone involved with their films, including hundreds of Stage 32 members, impacted by the postponement and cancellation of many film festivals. With the sad reality that the situation with COVID-19 will likely cause more festival cancellations, we want to assure that these filmmakers and their connections receive the exposure their work so richly deserves and feel the support of our remarkable and collaborative community. Our goal is to not only shine a light on their incredible talent, but also to facilitate connections to sales agents, distributors, buyers, managers, agents, and other professionals who have the power to showcase their work to the largest audience possible and also make a significant impact in the path of their careers.”
