I have established a forum of professionally-minded film/tv creatives
who are based in the Merseyside/Manchester/Cheshire/N. Wales areas, covering
the gamut of production personnel; i.e. editors, writers, actors,
make-up, composers, DoPs, directors, runners etc. As a writer having
also produced my own sit-com showreel at college, I believe there are a lot
of creative people in the above regions who are 'ploughing a solitary
path', and would greatly benefit from an umbrella forum. Everything
from periodical meetings, crewing up, and general advice and support would
be encompassed here. Numbering 160+, our members
range from 'Mersey TV' personnel, an indie company with
terrestrial/satellite credits, to an EU project development assessor, whose
writer/producer/director credits include a US NBC award, with ongoing
concerns in the Austrailan/UK markets. So, if you're professional already,
or ultimately aiming for that level, please visit the 'North West
Film-Makers Society' page at: http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/NorthWestFilm-Makers
If you do sign-up, please post an intro message about yourself, experiences,
ambitions etc, so we can all get to know and help each other.

Robert Clive
