Become A Better Filmmaker at the
    CiAO Mid-Month Meeting for April

Friday the 15th at 6:30 pm

 
Note: The CiAO-sponsored Show Us Your Shorts! Film Festival in Chico is going on RIGHT NOW. The last day for filmmaker early bird entries is May 31. Submit your films now! And spread the word far and wide. Visit the website: SUYS!FF
 

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.

We have several local indie films being filmed this year, already in development and pre-production. Don't miss out. Participating in these films is the closest you are going to find locally in an "Independent Filmmaking 'Master Class'". And it's FREE! (-ish) Learn by doing. Emersion learning can be one of the best ways to become a better filmmaker or craftsperson. And 'practice makes perfect'. Do yourself a favor and reach for the dream.

 
Pardon the April Fools joke last e-mail. Suffice to say that, should we ever have guests attending the meetings like those mentioned, the announcement would not be off-hand or a casual postscript. We caught a few people. That's what you get for not wearing green during St. Patrick's Day. ;o)
 

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.
