Production Meeting 7-9pm
Join us for a production meeting to launch a short film project to be completed within 30 days. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience, build new connections, and collaborate on a creative project. The theme for this Make a Movie in a Month initiative is "Signal Film Festival.”

Participants will create a short film up to 5 minutes in length, eligible for submission to the Signal Film Festival, benefiting the Alzheimer's Association National Capital Area Chapter. Films may be narrative, documentary, or any genre of your choosing. The entry fee for this Make a Movie in a Month is $15.00 per team.

If you have an idea for a 5-minute short film, please come prepared to pitch it. We will review production logistics and discuss potential group-sponsored projects, so be ready to contribute and collaborate.

The meeting and subsequent Happy Hour are open to filmmakers, editors, directors, producers, service professionals, actors, writers, hair/makeup artists, investors, students, etc.

Don't forget your business cards. We look forward to seeing you there.
