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 …

In an attempt to counteract price of living going sky high as many of o …

The s …
