This email came from a subscriber to my monthly filmmaking ezine, “The Director’s Chair“.

Hi Everyone!
This is just a quick update on my latest project.
(I apologize if you get more than one of these! Also, if you do not want me to email you, in general, kindly let me know. It is not my intention to spam or bother anyone.)
I have begun organizing a local film making enthusiasts group called the “Independent Filmmakers of the Inland Empire”.
The first organizational meeting went great and we are having another next month, Wed, Feb 3rd.
The purpose of the group is to unite like-minded who enjoy filmmaking or some aspect of it. The plan is to provide A) comradery, B) education and C) support to the local filmmaking community.
The group is for the general public and will allow for many networking opportunities. I am basing the group organization and meetings off of successful meeting groups that I have been apart of. We will provide speakers, demonstrations, showcases and most importantly: RAFFLES!
I am looking for 1) members, 2) speakers and 3) sponsors!
I also would love any advice or suggestions. I have a definite idea of how this group should and will go and grow but I am very open to ideas.
If you fit into any of the categories 1-3 above, please contact me, so that we can discuss how you can contribute to the growth of indie filmmaking!
Also, if you know of anyone else that would be a great fit, let them know about us!
Thanks for listening!

Thanks for posting this earlier in the year Peter and thanks for becoming one of our sponsors. We are really growing fast and, in fact, have just become an official Adobe Users Group as well!
