Hello Filmmakers/film enthusiasts/ and others!!!


This is Adam Dreyfuss, IFV's president, writing you with some important news and events in the upcoming semester!!

1) Meeting:  This semester meetings will be every Wednesdays at 6pm in English Building Room 108.  This is to help accommodate people in MACS 262

2) Club Field TRIPPPPPPPPP!!!!!  - Yes, there are 8 Ps in the word TRIPPPPPPPPP (plus one for good luck)
An IFV club alum named Michelle Kaffko has invited us to a special screening of a film that she is helping distribute entitled "Revenge of the Electric Car."  The movie is a follow-up to the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car" about the rise and immediate fall of the electric car. More about the movie can be found here http://www.revengeoftheelectriccar.com/index.html  and here http://www.facebook.com/revengeoftheelectriccar

The screening is January 26th (a thursday) in Bloomington-Normal.  We will be leaving at 5:30 and getting back around 11:00 or 11:30.  Transportation will be via carpool so if you can drive please e-mail us back at illinifilmandvideo@gmail.com. You will be reimbursed for gas money.  After the movie we'll get to sit down with Michelle and talk to her about her journey.

If you are interested please RSVP by January 20th by e-mailing us at illinifilmandvideo@gmail.com with your name and whether or not you can drive. This will allow us to reserve enough tickets in advance.  Tickets for the movie are $6.

3) Snowbound - The club film snowbound will be shooting over the course of a few Saturdays this semesters (dates pending). We will need all hands on deck for crew.  This will be a great opportunity to learn about lights, camera, directing, and sound through first hand experience.  More information soon.

4) Ebertfest is in April. Mark your calendars April 25-29th. More information can be found here http://www.ebertfest.com/

As always, keep us updated on any film projects you have going on and come to the meetings!! This is looking to be a great semester!

Happy New Year

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).
