Hello! My name is Kristin. For the last twenty-some years of being a graphic designer, I realized it is time to explore my true passion of filmmaking. I'm especially interested in directing, producing and writing. I've worked on a couple short films for festivals and directed some PSA's for my job. The bug has bitten. I'm taking classes, but would love some hands-on experience. If anyone in the Seattle area would be interested in free labor or allow me to observe the process, let me know. I'm also thinking about starting a couple groups for sharing screenplays or watching films and dissecting them in a discussion.
Hi there Grassshopper, Looks like you're on a roll, and Stage 32 can cover quite a few of your demands. There's the meetup page. Free of charge to all, why not create a meetup and connect with people? First though, I recommend reaching out to some of the people you'd love to meet through the connect page: https://www.stage32.com/people?coordinates=&name=&location=Seattle%2C+Wa... - when you connect with them, you'll be able to invite them to your meetup. I think there's no better way to connect than through a face-to-face conversation. And of course if you're passionate about writing you probably know everything there is to know about Happy Writers, so there, I hope that helps. :)
Thanks Tomasz! I appreciate seeing the direction to take next.
Hi Kristin, welcome to the site :)
