1/Ye Old IMAC Christmas Fest!
We decided to keep it simple this year... no fancy restaurants, no conceptual art projections... just good clean free booze! (And food, and friends, and maybe some films). Drop on by the IMAC Christmas Festivities.
Thursday, December 13th
7pm
@ IMAC (top floor of the Guild)
a.. IMAC members, friends of IMAC members, and friends of IMAC are welcome.
b.. The second Super-8 Challenge will be launched at the party.
2/IMAC Winter Production
Remember not so long ago when it was sweltering and muggy and just sitting made you sweat...and a brave crew of IMAC members joined forces to shoot a short film; the first IMAC Summer Production 'Mysterious to Seymour'? Well... we want to do it again, but colder!
This is a call out to the IMAC membership for persons interested in being the Producer of the IMAC Winter Production. This is also a call out to members who have a short script in hand that they would like to see produced.
The Producer's role will be to work with the IMAC Board and Staff to select one of the submitted scripts, find funding, assemble a crew, and initiate a production. If you are interested in this role please indicate your interest ASAP!
The scriptwriter's role is to submit a brilliant script to IMAC by Monday, January 7th.
To reiterate:
a.. If you are interested in being the Producer of the IMAC Winter Production - indicate your interest to the IMAC office ASAP.
b.. If you have a short film script that you would like produced, please drop it off/email it (email preferred) to imac@pei.aibn.com by Monday, January 7th.
