Filmmaker/ Actor Potluck!

A few months ago, I had this notion that I really only knew a small percentage of independent filmmakers in Winnipeg and I wanted to meet more.

I read in a filmmaker blog about a group of filmmakers that put together a BBQ as a netowork platform which turned out to be a success! That blog in question was that of Chris Jones of Guerilla Film Maker. Read his article, "Why Your Twitter Photo Is SO Important", here. 
Chris & Guerilla Film Maker are excellent resources for indy filmmakers! Thanks Chris!

With that in mind I had to come up with a plan to get other people from the film community to come together. I thought maybe a BBQ would work but could not predict if the weather would be good that day. I thought maybe a pub or something of that nature but again, I wanted to keep it more community-like. I also figured if I was going to pull it off, I would need to find other people to help out.
There was an actress and filmmaker I had met the past while whom I had seen doing some things in the community. The actress was Ail whom had organized a flea market out in Osbourne Village and the Filmmaker was Travis, whom I had seen opened up a venue and began renting it out to various musicians and filmmakers. 
I ran into both of them one day at a film event and pitched the idea to them. They both seemed keen on the idea and Ali had the idea of making the 'meet up' a potluck. After that we came up with a good time, date and place and everything was set! 
The rest, as they say, is......

Today we had the first of what I envision will be many more filmmaker/actor potlucks to come! The food was amazing and everyone had such excellent attitudes! In was so great to meet some new filmmakers and actors in the community and I really hope we build on it.
We do not have a date set for the next one but we will soon!
Thank you to all whom came out today and made the event quite the success!
