Hi fellow movie fans! If you enjoy movies and are looking to meet new and interesting friends, then this is the group for you!  We can never get enough of great films, so we try to have at least two Meetups per week.  We may see a new release and/or go see a discount movie at Woodbridge ($2 movie ticket plus a free milkshake at Ruby's - you can't beat it!)  We also are passionate about indie flicks and will regularly see films that are off-the-beaten path yet usually delightful. We are fun and d …

This group is for those who make, want to make or want to participate in making everything from YouTube videos for fun to Indy films. The meetups will be varied based on the needs and wants of the members, with the goal of helping each other learn and practice their craft.

This group is to unite film makers who want to be involved in a feature length horror film. The project is ongoing, we are looking for cast and crew to see this film to completion. You don't have to be in the industry, just serious about Indy film making. We have lots of positions available for anyone that's interested. We meet every two weeks at the Denny's located at 1010 Alameda Ave at 7:30.

Designing for T-shirts and garments is one of those areas where just the smallest details done right can make a huge difference: between a few sales & a lot of sales or between a promotional shirt that is used to clean a car and one that’s not just worn, but people ask you where one bought the shirt. The purpose of the group is to help people that want to make garments for any reason including: - Promotional giveaways (premiums) for their company. - Designs and illustrations meant for sale of th …

This is a new screenwriting group that found itself without an organizer.  Pending her blessing, I am tentatively stepping up to create the official Long Beach Chapter of The Screenwriters and Filmmakers Workshop. The Screenwriters and Filmmakers Workshop functions under the banner of OCFilmWorks, an Orange County collaborative writing and filmmaking group.  Ideally, we will offer not only script critique but the chance to make independent films throughout Southern California. Once I have the fi …

We're starting this group in the hope to find other filmmakers looking to start making movies today. Our goal is to become the next Spielbergs. Yes, that is what you read. Spielgerg did not get where he is by thinking about making movies but by making them. Whoever said that we needed Hollywood's permission to become filmmakers, was dead wrong. In this day and age all you need is passion, determination, a good story that people will care about and a digital camera. Seriously it’s that simple, we …

Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, if you struggle with deadlines, need help finding collaborators, want to know how t …

… Despite the fact that 55% of moviegoing audiences are female, women-centric films make up only a very small percentage of movies released each year. Hollywood studios claim they make fewer women-centric films because people who see these films tend not to see them on opening weekend. Because studios depend on opening weekend sales to signal which films will be successful and hence which will see a longer run in theaters, it’s important to support the opening weekend sales of these films so that …
