The group has grown exponentially in the last two years and meetups are constantly full, so we're attempting to restructure to make it work better. Please check back if you are interested, and sorry for the inconvenience!** Love writing? Looking for an opportunity to creep inside your mind, find the little demon inside fast asleep at an old writing desk, and tickle him awake with a quill pen? Or perhaps you think electro shoc …

I work in Queens and after work I am seeking to meet others who are movie fans like me!! This is a friendship group for movie fans!!

A writing group. An accountability group. A lamenting and rending of garments group. Every. Single. Week. We'd love for you to join us! This is a basic get-it-done group. The first half hour we introduce ourselves, discuss our work, and make goals for the week. Then we get right down to writing. Did you know that putting several writers to work in one space creates a kind of bubble of focus and productivity? It's pretty amazing. There is no ending point. People generally start wandering out arou …

This group is being started to cull talent for modeling, acting, editing, sound, props, writing and everything in between. Unlike most meet-ups we are not just going to sit around and talk about it...or go watch a movie or show...we are going to be about it. We will be making short and feature film, print work such as publicity catalog and calender shoots. All forms of talent are desired, but you must be as serious as we are, slackers and no-shows will be booted. We will never ask you to pay f …

With 16 chapters nationally, the NWU works to advance economic and working conditions of writers -- lobbying for legislation, initiating lawsuits, educating writers on their rights, networking, organizing picket lines, publicizing viable alternatives to unfair practices by both the traditional and Internet publishers, and by mobilizing members to fight for their collective self-inte …

The goal of this meetup group is to become better filmmakers and actors. You can only learn so much about filmmaking from reading books (which is helpful in its own right), or going to film school (very expensive/time intensive)... but the best way is improve as a filmmaker and actor is to get involved in the whole process numerous times (Director Robert Rodriguez made thirty shorts before making his first full length feature, El Mariachi ). It is our hope that by repeatedly making good little f …

This group is for individuals working on novels, screenplays, nonfiction, serious, funny, whatever..., that require time for review of longer sections of their works. The employment of the term `Other, Other...' is simply my Homage to the Monty Python `Piranha Brothers' episode

No Budget Scene started a bunch of years ago online as a paid bulletin board for lo-no budget filmmakers to meet, greet, share and contribute to each other's projects. It became apparent that a huge part of the board was located in and around the outskirts of NYC and most were newcomers to filmmaking or were people who wanted guidance in their own projects from the more experienced members. Unfortunately, as the board aged and it's more experienced members got involved in bigger and bigger proje …

Looking to meet a person or couple of people who already have solid screenwriting experience and who who can give quality feedback on other writers' works. Maybe this can be a once a week thing or a twice a month thing. Who knows? I'm a Wellesley woman and a UCLA MFA film school grad currently located on the Yale campus, and wanting to start a network for devoted screenwriters. This can be a sort of accountability group, where we push each other to excel and, most importantly, to finish our scri …

Do you like to write? If yes, do you find it difficult to make time to sit down and write? This is a meetup group for people to get together and, well, write. The group (or whoever RSVPs) meets once a week. For 1-2 hours (or however long you can stay) we sit down and write quietly. Once a month we'll get together afterwards to talk about our writing or just socialize. I'm not interested in critiquing, lectures, and the like.

This is a group for anyone interested in all aspects of making movies. I started this group to meet other filmmakers interested in working together in the Hudson Valley NY area. I look forward to making movies with everybody!

Writer’s Block: Is It Real? Why do we want to write but find ourselves unable to do it? Perhaps it is as simple as this: We are simply having a thought -- a thought like: I don’t have the time. It won’t be any good. I’ll just quit anyway. I always do. No one will like it. I don’t feel like it. It’s too hard. I need to feel moved to write. I need to be inspired. There will be no pay off. I am no good at it. Not really. Others are better at it than I am. I’m too tired. I need to watch TV or check …

Can't afford the screenwriting classes at the local schools?Then this is the group for you. The goal of this group is to help beginning screenwriters to complete their first script. In a workshop setting, we will work on the fundamentals of screenwriting. Through a series of weekly meeting , we will watch movies, read …

As screenplay writers, I think most of us write because part of our passion is fueled by the movies, which inspires us. Personally, I prefer to breakdown a movie by watching it rather than reading the script. That’s why I created this group. This is a group where screenplay writers can discuss what makes great movies work from a story point of view. I think, if we all were to watch a film then discuss a film with fellow screenwriters afterwards - from the perspective of breaking down how the sto …

Calling all would-be and actualized writers for stage and screen! Calling all improv'ers, actors, and those who are interested in trying dramatic improv for the first time! **** We also need a videographer **** The Plan: Writers come with the basics of a scene they have in mind. They know what takes place and who the characters are. It can be any genre. The actors (the writers themselves can be actors, if they wish) take the stage and improv the scene, following the plot points that the writer h …

Let's make a movie. The name of the group really says it all. I want to make a movie and I want to find other people who are interested in doing the same thing. This will be a group for people who want to have fun and make something tangible. You do not have to be an expert or even be knowledgeable in any aspect of film-making, you should just want to be involved in someway. We can start with shorts and then expand to a feature film. There are so many roles to fill when making a movie so if you …

New York City has a huge population of talented filmmakers and upcoming artists. This is a networking group for people who are involved or who want to become involved in Film & Video Production: Producers, Directors, Writers, Cinematographers, Shooters, Editors, Audio, Actors, Composers, Set Designers, etc. My goal is to have an event at least every couple months: networking events, staged readings, movie nights, screenings of member's films, and Q&A sessions. I envision this group as being a re …
