Stage32 will not help your career.…
Stage32 offers various services to writers including pitch sessions with film/TV executives. The aim is to help writers develop pitching skills in either written or verbal format and also engage with industry professionals. In the past, writers could freely email these executives and pitch ideas at no cost whatsoever, but nowadays it seems film/TV executives want payment from both their current employers and all potential co-workers. So, the climate of ethical turpitude which engulfs the industry is growing worse. One day we might need to bribe the postman or he may refuse to hand over our mail. In any case, after submitting three written pitches, here is my review. The service costs $35 per session which is cheap compared to other services. From the pitch reviews it's clear the executives merely glanced through the pitch because they missed crucial elements of the pitch and oftentimes requested inclusion of elements that were clearly present. One executive failed to appreciate the value of dramatic irony or suspense in a pitch. All this leads me to think that the executives are probably looking at upwards of 100 pitches at any given time - separate to their normal full-time jobs - and are both hard-pressed for time and more interested in the opportunity to earn a few thousand dollars of extra income than in helping writers develop their careers. In short, Stage32 script services it's not a smart way for writers to engage with the industry or develop a writing career.
