NJ-NY-PA networking

Hey crew, I'm here in NJ wondering why it feels like I'm the only film maker in the state. I know there are at least a dozen of us on this board that live in NJ or close enough to it.

It's nice to have friends and family in our corner but in my experience that has only helped up to a certain point but, with people with the same passion in your corner things are much different and productive creatively and technically.

I say we group up and have a monthly meeting to support each other and stay connected. I will find a location, set a flexible date/time and arrange all of the other necessities to make this happen.

We can go over anything during these meets from camera settings, screen writing, lighting, sound, directing/acting tips.... ANYTHING!

I don't know it all but I do know the best way to learn is by teaching what you already know.

So, who thinks this might be beneficial?
 
great idea "coffee" and I hope its a success

unfortunately i live on the far side of the state of PA so i will not be able to make the trek.

Cool, I knew you'd be all for it... :thumbsup:

I have a nice location in Clark, NJ exit 135 Garden State Parkway where a friend owns a nice diner and has a HUGE parking lot in case anyone wants to bring or build a dolly or anything else of size.

Also, I'm really cool with the folks at the Starbucks in Linden on Rt. 1&9 north. There's a huge parking lot there too and it's right off of the NJ Turnpike.
 
NJ Turnpike is tadddd far. I think the location in Clark is better.

....jus need more people to go now....

CALLING ALL TRI-STATE DVX-MOVIE MAKERS!! FROM PA, NJ, AND NY!! Join the fun!!
 
I think it's great and ambitious to try to set up a networking group. I am interested - however (isn't there always a however) it all depends on the date and place. I'm in Hoboken.

don't worry about that... if the majority of us who want to make this happen are located in the same general area then we'll meet accordingly.

Hey blckhawk542, put this thread as a hyper link into your sig like I did so we can spread the word out better.

A parking lot isn't required. I've just been to too many car meets where the parking lot is a huge must that's all..... I'm like shell shocked with parking lots! lmao
