Updates from Italy from our fearless leader:
You’ve been hearing me talk about all the work we’ve been doing in Italy and with various film commissions in the region through Stage 32 Certification. Always nice to get recognition for those efforts.
What started as an idea at the Torino Film Festival 11 months ago has turned into a movement.
Now we’ve been featured by both Cinema & Video International and Italy for Movies highlighting our global mission and specifically our expansion into Italy and the Italian entertainment industry
When I started Stage 32 15 years ago, my mission was simple: No matter where you live in the world, you deserve access to the people, education, and opportunities that can move your entertainment career forward. Seeing that mission continue to grow across borders is something I’ll never take for granted.
Over 1.5 million members worldwide on the platform, 70 film commissions, media companies and orgs we’re now working with through Stage 32 Certification, the world’s largest and leading entertainment education library, and we’re still just getting started!
Huge thanks to both publications for the fantastic coverage. More exciting news to come.
Much love ❤️

You’ve poured yourself into your project. But do you know who’s waiting for it?
Not “everyone.” Not “people who love movies.” The specific audience who will watch it, share it, and ask for more.
@rbwalksintoabar wrote the book on crowdsourcing, and he says building your audience comes down to three steps.
The one most people rush is the one that earns the ask.
Tell us in the comments-who’s the audience for your current project?

Stage 32 retweeted
And in the least surprising news of the week...
They've been digging this grave to the center of the Earth since the mid 2010's.
Hollywood’s center of gravity is increasingly tilting to the East Coast.
While California kept its crown at No. 1 with $1.76 billion in movie and TV production spend, New York is drawing major titles at a much more rapid pace, according to industry tracker ProdPro’s closely-watched quarterly snapshot released on Thursday. The state surged 87 percent in production spend in the quarter to $1.61 billion compared with California’s 17 percent uptick.
