Welcome to the Light & Shadow Workshop Group. Our mission is to share with the New York independent film community the knowledge and practical skills needed to excel in the art of lighting and cinematography. When it is your turn to make a movie, you must ask two questions: 1) "Where should I put the LIGHT?" A single strategically placed light can work the magic of four or five incorrectly placed lights. 2) "How to create SHADOW?" Anybody can switch on a light and flood a scene with light and ma …

We bring together filmmakers, producers, directors, actors, writers, cameramen, and editors to share their experience, polish their skills, and help each other through net …

Cinema-Femina is a do-it-yourself meetup group that encourages it's members to scout out and see films made by and about women. It's all about watching movies, making friends, having lively discussions and, perhaps most importantly, it's about supporting the filmmakers themselves. Female filmmakers NEED US! They need us to buy tickets the FIRST WEEK their films hit the theaters. Those numbers will determine whether that filmmaker will ever get a distribution deal again. Sucks, huh? But here's th …

This film series provides a forum for local and independent filmmakers and video artists to share and discuss their work and ideas. Each month we'll screen one or more works and then circle up for an intimate conversation with the artists or guest speaker.

The goal of this meetup group is to become better filmmakers and actors. As we work toward this goal together, we are afforded the opportunity to practice and improve in our screenwriting, cinematography, and collaboration in order to get our films made. You can only learn so much about filmmaking from reading a book (which is helpful in its own right), but if you want to get better as a filmmaker and actor, you need to get involved in the whole process numerous times (Director Robert Rodriguez …

The aim of this Manhattan-based group is to serve as a social outlet for creativity, and to produce fun-to-watch short films of acceptable quality for the film festival circuit. No experience necessary! We may not produce as impressive a product as we want, but we’ll make movies, learn a lot, and we’ll have fun. Films will be written and directed by its members, and we’ll decide collectively which will be the next project. Any collective, and certainly this one, will require frequent compromise …
