Monthly Meeting
Date: Thursday, March 5th.
Place: Whole Foods on Houston (in the upstairs/restaurant area)
Time: 7:30 p.m.
So the month of February is closing fast, and you may be wondering "Where was our monthly meeting?" Well, March will simply be double the fun! If you've been following our Twitter account (www.twitter.com/nycfc), you'd see we've been working hard to get some of our past films wrapped up before starting our new projects. Coordination is still underway to make the shooting schedules of "Cooking with Spirit" and "Last Ride of John Doe" and we'll try to finalize those arrangements at our meeting. At our first meeting of March, it'll be a bit more low key - we're actually gonna have a book club of sorts. I'd like everyone to answer the attached question on their favorite books/DVDs about filmmaking - whether the media is about writing, acting, directing, shooting, editing, makeup... basically anything short of cooking (that is, of course, unless you're volunteering for our perpetually-unfilled "craft services" position) and bring the books/DVDs to the meeting if they have them. Maybe we could even have members do loans/trades for other members books.
Now for a couple side issues. We would love to have more classes like the "Basics of Production Class" Chao and I held back in January. If you feel like you got the know-how, let us know and we'll help you make a class. Also, if you have a script that you want critiqued, you don't have to wait until a "Script Reading" month - just post it on our website (www.nycfilmcollective.com) in the Scripts section - don't worry, it's in the "Members Only" area so no random website visitor will be ripping off your script. Let one of the organizers know you posted it, we'll let the members know, they can read it and then give you feedback in the forums.
Look forward too seeing many of you Thursday the 5th,
Mark
