Filmmaker Support Group

Sponsored by the Boulder County Film Commission, these free events are designed to provide creative support for Boulder-area filmmakers! Maybe you'd like some feedback on a project you're working on, or perhaps you're stuck and need an idea for how to transition from this to that, or - well, you get the idea. We're here for you; let's be there for each other! Bring a script, a rough cut, an idea, or any creative problem.

Who Should Attend these Support Groups?

These events are great if you're a filmmaker and working on a project and would like some feedback, are stuck on a project and need some inspiration, want to connect with other filmmakers, or simply want to see and hear what other Boulder filmmakers are working on.

What To Bring?

You should come with a great attitude, no ego, and the excitement of wanting to talk with others about their, and your own, projects. We will be using the Trident's built-in AV system, which consists of a projector, screen, microphone, and their PA system.

Want to show a clip?

PLEASE upload the file in advance of the meeting so we can have it all set up and ready to go if selected.

Location

This event is being generously hosted by the Trident Cafe and Booksellers, located on the west end of Pearl Street. They will have a cash bar, with beer and wine for sale, along with other non-alcoholic drinks, including coffee! PLEASE NOTE: these events are held outside on the back patio of the Trident, so please bring a jacket if you think you might get cold, especially as it gets later in the evening.
