Happy New Year

By Jeremy / Posted on 01/01/2012

This may be our last January until the next end of the world scenario so let's make the best of it. Let's go through the big things of 2012.

More contests like the 49 hour film festival. The club has been throwing around the idea of 5 second films.
Snowbound has actors casted and will be moving forward in production. We are going to be looking for crew to work the equipment.

If your interest in the club and didn't attend meetings last semester.....do not fret. Just show up to the meetings for 2012. We don't expect anyone who graces our doors to be an expert but just have an interest. Meetings will be hosted at 6PM on Wednesday in Room 104 of the English building. That is a change from last semester so take note. Send us an email and we will add you to the email list and also register for the forum.

Oh heres some pictures of that dude(Robbie), that guy(Adam), and this chap(Kyle).
