It’s more expensive to go back in time on-screen. Distributors crave younger audiences who may not care about a certain person from history. And creatively, how do you truly decipher if your character’s life story can effectively fill a 2-hour movie or a 10-hour series? And then, if everything points to a worthy endeavor, what specific legal rights might you need to tell the person’s story that you want to tell?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eStage 32 is here to answer all of these questions and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTaking you through this professional-level training is \u003cstrong\u003eSam Sokolow, a 2-time Emmy nominated executive producer with a focus on historical drama. \u003c\/strong\u003eSam has put almost 20 original shows on television, including the \u003cstrong\u003e20-time \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmmy-nominated limited series GENIUS for National Geographic Channel and Disney+\u003c\/strong\u003e.
