Stage 32 Reviews 

Stage 32 fails at the most basic level of functionality: account access. Login problems are persistent, and the sign-up troubleshooting process borders on absurd, lengthy, confusing, and ineffective. Instead of providing a straightforward way for professionals to connect, the platform creates unnecessary barriers through poor design and lack of reliable support. For a network that positions itself as a hub for creatives, such fundamental flaws are unacceptable.
The platform may be operating more as a scam than as a serious network for creatives. For a company that markets itself as a professional hub, such fundamental flaws and questionable practices are unacceptable.

I was surprised to see other negative reviews — I thought I was the only one who’d had a disappointing experience with Stage32. It's also strange that the profile is marked as "unclaimed" on Trustpilot, which doesn't inspire confidence.

I’m leaving this review because I experienced a series of false promises and extremely slow communication. A Stage32 team member initially reached out to me, asked about my projects, and offered to connect me with producers who might be interested in my work. I responded with clear interest — and never heard back.

When I contacted customer support to follow up, I was assured someone would get back to me. That never happened either.

Sadly, the platform gave the impression of being more about image than genuine connection. It feels like a space full of people pretending to have access and influence, rather than one where real collaboration and support take place.

I’ll be deleting my account soon and looking for platforms that value authentic relationships and professional follow-through.

Received no benefits. I cancelled my Writer's Room account but continued to have my credit card charged for the next six months. My credit card company reversed the charges each time, but this is getting ridiculous.

⭐ 1-Star Review: Disappointed and Misled by Stage32
As a serious screenwriter, I joined Stage32 with the hope of building real industry connections and receiving honest feedback. Unfortunately, my experience with the platform has been deeply disappointing and exploitative.

I paid for professional feedback on my screenplay, expecting thoughtful notes. Instead, the reviewer read only the first 10 pages, made generic comments, and criticized stylistic choices that were intentionally modeled on Hollywood-standard scripts (such as using “Super Title,” inspired by Air Force One’s format). The critique felt rushed and superficial, with no in-depth analysis or constructive insight.

This is not a one-time issue. Stage32 pushes expensive services like webinars, pitch sessions, and “script consultations,” yet the value delivered rarely justifies the price. Even more troubling, I’ve noticed several questionable profiles posing as “producers” or “consultants” with no credible IMDb history or verifiable work in the film industry.

Stage32 presents itself as the “LinkedIn of the film industry,” but behind the scenes, it’s largely a pay-to-play system built to profit off the hopes of emerging writers — not to elevate their work.

Writers, especially those early in their careers, deserve better. Platforms should uplift storytellers, not exploit them through vague promises and overpriced services.

Be cautious. Ask for credentials. And don’t let anyone charge you to simply listen to your passion.

I hope this review helps fellow writers make informed choices.

— A screenwriter who believes in integrity, not gatekeeping.

Upon receiving feedback via multiple submissions of the same pitch, almost none of the critique was similar. The lack of a clear through line in responses led me to believe my pitch is fine, alas I scored well with most of them but none wanted to read my script. It became clear the reps offering reviews are not looking scripts off their specific market of business at work. Reps on Stage 32 are looking to make a few extra dollars, It's a money grab....

Yep, nothing will come of anything here. It all just a rinsing machine to separate you from your coin to pitch to people who are clearly getting a slice of the payments. Don't take my word for it, sign up and see for yourself.

Money grubbing scam.

The entire concept behind Stage32 is to steal money from struggling artists in a one-way communication structure that ensures no one can ever actually succeed. And then feed them with ridiculous lies and success stories than no one in the industry ever heard of. It is quite literally the lowest of the lowest, and they know it too. I've never met more soulless people than those behind stage32.

Complete scam of a company. Customer service a joke. They spend time answering emails and sending you around in circles. $80 worth of nothing. Do not sign up with them!

These miscreants operate just this side of the law with legal boilerplate about pitches, etc. "for educational purposes only" yet make it seem they are a magic carpet to fame and fortune.

The "Execs" are hilarious jokes. The majority can't order lunch let alone buy a script or fund a film. If you're considering, a suggestion to vet them via imdb or a Google search. One that was investigated worked in the service industry as a bartender. Fantastic background to make filmmaking decisions.

If you do find a reputable Exec, they have zero interest in buying, will request scripts and then ghost you. NO ONE GETS SCRIPT SALES OR MAKES FILMS FROM SCRIPTS ON THIS SITE. It's all a come on. A machine that prints money for the millionaire owner who touts serious industry credits yet, amazingly, has none listed on imdb.

You are bombarded by emails to give them more and more money to pay into the Hollywood dream. These emails can not be stopped.

They have a useless, paid "Writers Room." An invitation for two free months turned out to be charged after one then it was impossible to cancel. A link to cancel has never operated, and emails to Support go unanswered. Had to contact my CC provider to deny the charge.

Then there are the sycophants on the site. They are akin to Moonies or other cult members. One tragic figure even produced a video about why they love Stage 32. It is simultaneously sad and nauseating.
There are other blowhards who make the Lounge insufferable.

Words of advice: STAY AWAY. DO NOT GIVE THESE JACKALS MONEY. STAY AWAY.

Tengo meses que quiero darme de baja de la news letter y no puedo ya estoy cansada de recibir correos de esta gente.

Paid 300 for a script consult. The reader kept rescheduling and when I asked, they said they couldn’t read it. Tried pairing me up with a special effects artist. When asked for a refund they completely stopped contacting me.

I signed up for paid script consultations with industry executives and twice they never called as promised. Was fortunate to get my money back. Advise that one should not trust them. Looks like a scam.

I’ve done a handful of pitch meetings. The last 3 all said they’d request material and then a week later passed on it. Brought this up to the team at Stage 32 and they stood by the “executives” (they LOVE using that word lol).

These “executives” are people who may have been a production assistant, had a small writing role, or have worked at various companies throughout Hollywood. These are NOT the people that have a ticket to your success. They just want your 35$. Please please please, STOP wasting your money. If you have talent and good material, cold call production companies and send query letters to literary managers. I had material taken by the VPs of networks, major production companies and more, and some Stage 32 “exec” that looks like he f**** his cat shit on my work after pretending to be interested during a pitch session lol.

It’s a money grab. That’s all it is. They prey on people by selling a dream. It’s the oldest trick in the book.

Had a written pitch review - the 'producer' review was done by AI (3x AI detectors gave a 100% is was AI). I notified Stage 32 - and once I provided the evidence they went quiet and refused a refund. I also dug into the 'producers' they list (for pitches)... imdb (pro) doesn't recognize almost 50% of them with any producer credits. Of the remainder - a significant # of those are low level executive assistants - who are not producers!

They are a writers site that review and critique your oral or written pitches for a fee. I paid for and sent a written pitch to one of their reviewers. It got there past the hours of the deadline. When I emailed to see why I got no response here's what I received. "If you missed your slot you can not turn in your pitch late or have a make up session. By missing your slot you forfeit your opportunity to pitch to that executive and there will be no refund or credits". So they now have my money and pitch and I get nothing in return.

Stage 32 are not who they claim to be. You can pitch them a 1000 times and still come up empty-handed, no matter how good your scripts are. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!!!

Total SPAM site! Their unsubscribe features do not work and they will continue to spam you even if you delete your account. Do not sign up to them.
From what I've read on trust pilot I wouldn't trust any of their purchase options for courses and meeting people.

It's a scam.
They charged me $32 but gave nothing in return, I also unsubscribed millions of times but it doesn't seem to work.

3weeks of training very well. 09/1981 had some training I love to act

Great idea but terrible user interface. Feels very spammy. I just don’t enjoy the experience on this app.
