"A blessing for the writers among us: May all your dead ends be beautiful" - Linford Detweiler We are dedicated to providing screenwriters with feedback on scripts and script ideas, but this is also a great place to meet independent filmmakers. If you're a filmmaker looking for your next project, join us at our next meetup and hear what our writers are working on, or join us at an upcoming filmmakers meetup and participate in making a short film! We currently have two meetups--one dedicated to s …

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 …

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 …

The advent of such photography critique sites such as You Are Not A Photographer means that many of the "pro" photographers these days don't even know the bare minimum and have probably never set foot in a real darkroom. I formed this group because I believe film photography will never truly die, and instant gratification from Instagram doesn't always satisfy! If you're tired of seeing Photoshopped photos ALL the time and you miss the graininess that comes with film and the gratification of maki …

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 …

The Orange County Adobe After Effects / Premiere Video User Group has been created to help individuals of all skill levels learn and apply the different techniques used with the Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere applications.

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 …
