The New York Indie Film Education GroupThe goal of the group is to get people together who are interested in learning filmmaking. The main thing that will separate us from other groups is that this is a hands-on group that will do things based on real life experiences as opposed to pure theory. At every Meetup, we will learn about an aspect of filmmaking and we will shoot a short scene. |

The Why's and Whats of Writing FictionWe talk about the 'whys' of writing more than the 'hows'. We're light on work-shopping, critical dissection and discussion of technique. Instead we deal with abstract, yet vital issues: What does it mean to write badly, write well? What are we trying to do? How do we do it? It's a small group, meeting in quiet places. |
