strong

evidence supporting it.

What others have to say:

Wow! What an awesome time Sunday night!

I now understand the enormous potential of

these meetings. I plan to be a regular from now on.

Bless you for creating and maintaining this "space"

for the professional interface of like-minded souls.

- Bill Woolery, editor- projects for Disney, Dreamworks, etc.

 

“a little gem in Hollywood!...you would never

think that this little group would have so

many influential people attending their meetings

and presentations but they DO!.... there is

nice sort of ‘family’ feeling amongst the group

and something to look forward to coming

to each week!”- Mark Vicente, director/cinematographer

"What the Bleep do we Know?!"

 

"At the last meeting, I set an intention that I would book

some east coast work so I could piggy back the prep on

the movie I'm shooting in the fall in NY. Within days of that

I booked a scout on cape cod...they fly me to Boston, I work

for two days, then a week later they fly me home from NYC.

It's amazing how well it works if you just put it out there."

- Jeffrey Seckendorf
