Production Meeting 7-9pm

Join us for a production meeting to kick off a short film project in the next 30 days! This is a great opportunity to gain experience, make new connections, and have fun. The theme for this Make a Movie in a Month is “Healing.” The meeting will focus on developing a project that is a documentary style film up to 6 minutes in length about a person(s) and their story of healing, so bring your creativity and a willingness to collaborate.

We'll discuss production details and group-sponsored projects, so come ready to contribute to exciting new ideas.

If you have an idea about a documentary film about healing, be prepared to pitch it.

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.

See you there on 10/20/25!
