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 …

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 …

The Script Revision Workshop begins Wednesday, June 15 and continues for 8 weeks. Classes meet from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM at 440 Studios, 440 Lafayette Street.

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

This film series provides a forum for local and independent filmmakers and video artists to share and discuss their work and ideas. Each month we'll screen one or more works and then circle up for an intimate conversation with the artists or guest speaker. We'll focus on "art" films, both abstract and and narrative, primarily by local filmmakers, as well as hard-to-find foreign classics, and new documentaries. We have also started to organize and attend seminars on various industry topics like h …

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 …

***This group is currently on hiatus, check back here or look out for email updates on if / who / when we start up the weekly screenwriting or production groups for spring/summer*** About a year ago, I began purchasing equipment to develop video content. It started out with a camera, then another, then microphones, then Final Cut, then Motion, then a green screen, then lighting, and so forth. I realized that there are probably other people like me, producers, directors, cinematographers, sound …

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.

The group (or whoever RSVPs) meets once a week.

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 …

I'm looking to start a group in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn where fellow screenwriters can share and discuss their screenplays with each other in a friendly and constructive environment. I also find that a little booze helps with being critiqued.
