Are you a filmmaker? Are you interested in filmmaking or contributing to filmmaking? Do you live or work in the Inland Empire? This group was created to unite like-minded individuals who are serious about learning more about film making and who are willing to actually DO rather than just dream.

Shut Up and Write! Meetup is a venue for writers to work in the company of other writers on a regular basis. Writing, whether approached as a profession or as an avocation, is an isolating activity.

So heres the idea: If you are interested, whether you are a newbie or a professional, come and participate. You want to act? Get up there and don't be shy. You want to learn how to direct? Listen and observe the Director. You have an idea for a movie or short? If your script is ready... lets shoot it. Do all of these things cross your mind like they do mine? Then lets get together and make something. My idea is that we all contribute so that the project gets done. And when its done or almos …

This is a forum group - as in a network for meeting others in the industry. There's a LOT of groups that want to work within themselves, and that is highly restrictive and can produce sub-part content. Feel free to suggest or make any meetups yourself - this is everyone's place to network.

This group is for those who love to act, direct, produce, write, sing or simply perform but may not have been given the opportunities to do so. If you have been told that you were too short, too tall, too old, too young, too thick, too thin, too pretty, too ugly, too experienced, too inexperienced or, like me, have too many scars to be cast then this is the group for you. We will produce theatrical plays, short films, webisodes, viral videos and showcases.  We will form an acting troupe and ca …

The San Diego Writers group is for anyone who shares an enthusiasm for writing. Our focus is on writing, reviewing each others work and motivating each other to get our projects done.

Visit our Facebook page here... http://www.facebook.com/sandiegowr …

The idea of this group is to establish a community of writers that can learn from eachother on many different levels.  Whether this is through critique groups, free writing, reading, talking, etc. I hope that this group has something for everyone. This group welcomes writers of all levels.  This is based on the philosophy that we never really stop learning.  No matter your walk of life, we all have some knowledge to barter. Or pilfer, as book bandits do (no stealing or plagerism is insinuated wi …

Writing can be an isolated process. With all of life's distractions, writers of all genres often find it difficult to stay on track and stick to a writing schedule. While we can't write for you we can definitely write alongside with you and help each other stay focused. By making a commitment to meet-up and write, the hope is that we will support one another and hold each other accountable for sticking to our writing schedules. This focus of the group is not to submit or review each other's work …

I aim to create a space where writers can simply come and get work done with their peers. Manuscripts, screenplays, articles, theses, blogs, indecipherable scribbles, or even a finely crafted email, you just show up, chat a little bit, and then get down to business. Everyone in this group can nudge or shove themselves into gear as they see fit. In the end, it’s all about making the time to sit down, shut up, and write.
