Become A Better Filmmaker
    at the CiAO Monthly Meeting for April

Friday the 1st at 6:30 pm

It is the general consensus of the regular attendees of the CiAO meetings that attendance breeds a better filmmaker, or better film-associated craftsperson. The sharing of information, knowledge, experience, hints, tips, tricks, and other film-related wisdom cannot help but make attendees better at what they do and want to do.

Most if not all of us agree that participating in these meetings has made us better and stronger filmmakers. So please join us and take advantage of these opportunities, especially if you are a beginning and burgeoning filmmaker or film-related craftsperson. The importance of "networking" with people of like mind and interests also cannot be under-emphasized for those who want to "learn while doing" and become involved in upcoming projects.

This month's special guests will include the local-area-dwelling actors Tom Selleck of "Magnum, P.I." fame, Gary Burghoff of "M*A*S*H" fame, and actress Kelli Maroney of the cult sci-fi classic "Night of the Comet" in a rare phone interview, and, depending on schedule and availability, poet Robert Frost, via a very long distance connection. We were lucky to get these talented artists on April 1, The Darkest Evening of the Year. Hopefully the Snowy Evening and miles and miles of travel through various woods and villages won't cause attendance problems. Keep your fingers crossed, knock on wood, and perhaps say a little prayer.

CiAO meetings are the first and third Fridays of each month. The meeting location is the Not Quite Hollywood Studio, 120 W. 2nd. St., Chico, CA 95927, between Main and Broadway. Phone: (530) 343-6741 See map (click to see larger version), which also shows parking locations.
