RMM Summer Shorts-2010
-------------------------------------------------------------
10 Page Screenplays will be read at the March 29th meeting of Rochester Movie Makers. The guidelines for the screenplays will be posted at www.RochesterMovieMakers.org soon. The RMM Writer Group is working on a running Lunchbox MacGuffin that writers can be part of if they elect. The goal is to create several short films this Spring/Summer that can be combined into a short feature type film. To be involved in this, come to the next RMM Writer Group Meeting or visit http://rochestermoviemakers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=163.
RMM Youth Outreach
-------------------------------------------------------------
RMM volunteers will be video interviewing several youth at the Webster Recreation Center, 530 Webster Ave this Saturday from 11am to 2pm. The kids and young adults have all made a commitment to improve the quality of their lives over 60 days. We are interviewing them to ask about progress every other week. RMM volunteers will also accompany some of the youth to capture B-roll for the project which will culminate this summer with several short films that will tie together into an inspirational documentary.
If you are interested in helping, email stan@RochesterMovieMakers.org.
