Monday, November 18, 2024
Dear Members and Community,
Thank you for supporting us through another eventful year. We’re looking forward to a December rest and an exciting and productive 2025. There’s plenty of fresh energy going into the new year so, despite all the difficult hardships that the last few years have brought, we will be there to welcome you in January or whenever you’re ready to start making that new film, learn a few more skills and collaborate with other creative, like-minded people!
Best,
Chris Kennedy
Executive Director
