Hey there! If you are a person that likes to dabble in video/filmmaking, this is the group for you. Whether you've just purchased your first camera, or you've been making/editing videos for a while now just for fun, this group is intended to give novices like myself a chance to meet like-minded and relaxed people, who make videos/films for fun rather than marketing or other professional purposes.

Video journalists, documentarians, and multimedia storytellers, let's hang out one night a month, bring an exotic beverage of your choice and one to share, and talk about the art/profession/hobby we all love. We're here to have a good time, learn some things, screen some things, make connections, collaborate, talk about projects, ideas, or do whatever the hell people want. First meetup will be in late March.  Send some ideas.  Let's do this !
