Are you new to Filmmakers' Ambitions? Have you never gone to a meeting? Are you sitting there, thinking 'I have nothing to do on the night of November first... what, oh what am I gonna do?' Then come to the FA INFO NIGHT, a special pre-meeting dedicated to answering all your questions about Filmmakers' Ambitions. We will have a short presentation and it will be a good chance for you to meet other newbies as well as the officers of the club. FA INFO NIGHT is not required for membership. Here's the date/time:
FA INFO NIGHT
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1st
8:30pm IN "Young Hall, room 198" or YOUNG 198
FIRST GENERAL MEETING of fall quarter
Come back and see the familiar faces of your fellow filmmakers at the first meeting of the new year. We will be watching/critiquing "The Craving" (ten minute short FA Films production,) talking about the new year, and going over your homework assignment (What!? Homework?!). Here's the date/time:
FIRST GENERAL MEETING
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3rd
8:30pm in YOUNG 198
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT DUE AT FIRST GENERAL MEETING
Yes, you have homework! Here's the basic idea:
Come up with a list of three big people in filmmaking who you'd like to write to (can be writer/producer/director, anything). Bring the list on a piece of paper with your name in the corner to the meeting. The officers will find out what the mailing adress is to one of the people on your list, and will come back at the Second meeting with adresses. From there - we'll do an experiment. Everybody will write to their respective filmmaker, and we'll see see how many people get responses throughout the quarter.
Tips on picking your three people:
-people who own production companies will be the easiest to write to. (as they can always be reached at their company adress)
-the bigger the better. (Small time, like foreign filmmakers will have less information available about them on the web tool we will be using)
-these should be people you've always dreamt of talking to and telling them how great they are. (Writing a letter to these people will be a breeze.)
-Put your first choice on top, and your third choice on the bottom.
FLYERING AND ADVERTISING
The officers will be flyering the school this coming week. Join us! Email Julie if you'd like to help out. Julie should be putting the flyers on FAcommunity as well - so you guys can download, print, copy and distribute them on your own. Also, remember to tell other filmmakers about this club! The more people that come to the club, the more connections you and others can make!
That's it for now.
Sincerely,
-Matt Brewbaker, pres.
