No Budget Scene started a bunch of years ago online as a paid bulletin board for lo-no budget filmmakers to meet, greet, share and contribute to each other's projects. It became apparent that a huge part of the board was located in and around the outskirts of NYC and most were newcomers to filmmaking or were people who wanted guidance in their own projects from the more experienced members. Unfortunately, as the board aged and it's more experienced members got involved in bigger and bigger proje …

Filmmaking became accessible for virtually everyone. Shooting on film is beautiful and as a Director/Writer I love it but I've seen remarkable Motion Pictures shot on cell phones and full frame digital cameras. There are many ways to make it in the Film Industry: Write a screenplay - hand it to an agent; make a short - send it to a festival; go to film school - make commercials/music videos; the key is MEET PEOPLE, WORK HARD TOGETHER, BE TENACIOUS and make films - don't talk about making them an …

This film series provides a forum for local and independent filmmakers and video artists to share and discuss their work and ideas. Each month we'll screen one or more works and then circle up for an intimate conversation with the artists or guest speaker. We'll focus on "art" films, both abstract and and narrative, primarily by local filmmakers, as well as hard-to-find foreign classics, and new documentaries. We have also started to organize and attend seminars on various industry topics like h …

The aim of this Manhattan-based group is to serve as a social outlet for creativity, and to produce fun-to-watch short films of acceptable quality for the film festival circuit. No experience necessary! We may not produce as impressive a product as we want, but we’ll make movies, learn a lot, and we’ll have fun. Films will be written and directed by its members, and we’ll decide collectively which will be the next project. Any collective, and certainly this one, will require frequent compromise, …

Sure, writers join writer's groups, actors join actor's groups, directors take the credit, and producers . . . well, they produce, but has anyone thought to hold a recurring party where people who work in different aspects of film can mingle and get to know each other? I started The NYC Filmmaker's Karaoke Group to create a fun place for people who work in film -- that means you set designers, makeup artists, and production assistants -- to meet and mingle with other film professionals. Anyone …

Love to go to see indie and foreign films and then talk about them afterward? Me, too! Hi, I'm Francesca, an indie filmmaker and trans-media artist who lived in Manhattan for 25 years and thought nothing of calling a friend and suggesting we meet in an hour at one of the many arthouse theaters around town. But, when I moved to NJ I found my friends here did NOT share my tastes so I created the NJ ArthouseFilm Society (just to sound fancy). And, wouldn't you know it, there are tons of people lik …
