A Painter needs only a paintbrush and a canvas; a musician needs only two turntables and a microphone! Yet to be a filmmaker it seems thousands of dollars are needed to make something that nobody is going to see anyway or to be an actor you must wait for someone else to give you exposure. If you're one of those people waiting around for financing to come through so you can make or star in Citizen Kane II that's cool, I'm not. This organization is for people who have stories to tell and opinion …

I want to meet anyone who is interested in catching a flick either during the week or over the weekend and want to talk about it over some food.  And don't worry, you don't have to prepay me or anyone else for tickets or to save a spot or answer a million questions to get in the group.  There's enough stress in the world, why add to it?  We're a group of movie-lovers who just wan …

Filmmaking became accessible for virtually everyone. Shooting on film is beautiful and as a Director/Writer I love it but I've seen remarkable Motion Pictures shot on cell phones and full frame digital cameras.
