Make A Video Afternoon

Special Event -

CDIA/Boston University has granted us use of a studio for the day, and we're going to make videos.

The rough idea is:

pre-event: screenwriters work on scripts, including one for the group to use
pre-event: actors are contacted and commit to attending
pre-event: scripts are finalized and distributed to the group/attendees
pre-event: actors practice lines

event:

12:30 - 1:00pm - arrive, meet-n-greet, set up
1:00pm - quiet on the set - filming starts on first video
2:00pm - filming starts on second video
3:00pm - filming starts on third video
4:00pm - wrap up
4:30pm - networking at local restaurant

Who should attend? / Roles -

Screenwriters - with their own script, or to help with others
Actors - talented, quick study, flexible, wanting to act for credit
Filmmakers - with ideas, equipment
Entrepreneurs - who want a viral video
People interested in film industry - helpers, etc.
