This is your opportunity to socialize and network with people in the film industry. Whether you're a producer, director, writer, actor, agent, manager. casting director, an indie filmmaker, a crew member, or work in any other aspect of the the film industry, you'll benefit from these networking events, teleseminars, and webinars.

I moved to Santa Barbara for Brooks Institute and since I graduated I've missed being surrounded by people who appreciate film. I am looking forward to meeting you! Eileen
