Something funny

A group for screenwriters serious about making it in the film industry. There are tons of books out there on the subject of screenwriting from a craft point of view. But it takes more than craft to launch a successful career. To stand out from the pack, you have to understand the needs of this dynamically changing business. As a working writer/director I want to spare you years of struggle and give you the knowledge and tools neccesary to launch a successful screenwriting career now.

Looking for productive, constructive criticism on your feature? Want to get feedback on a short film or discuss the process of how to get one done? Come join us bi-weekly for that and more.

This group is for those individuals serious about making films with a team of friends you'll find here. Not a mere "networking" group, this meetup is about fostering relationships based from working together on actual productions. The initial goal is to produce an average of one short film a month with the contribution of active members.

This group is for those who make, want to make or want to participate in making everything from YouTube videos for fun to Indy films. The meetups will be varied based on the needs and wants of the members, with the goal of helping each other learn and practice their craft.
