Blockbusters? Indie? Cult? You can get those anywhere. This is the group for movies so bad they're good. The weird, the bizarre, the horrible acting, the ridiculous concepts, the non-work-safe hilarity. Most people are just uncomfortable watching them, but for whatever reason they tickle the suitably twisted sense of humor. Would you watch a movie called Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, because a movie with that title must be awesome?  Does your list of cinematic classics include things like Barbare …

We are a group of wannabe telugu youtubers working on sitcoms/sketch comedies in the Bay Area. Shooting is only over weekends. We all have tonnes of suggestions, ideas for Tollywood, but haven't had a platform to say it out loud. So this is our chance. I have started working on a sitcom called 'Desi Seinfeld' based on the original, and would want to take it to the next level. Lets get together

I made this group because I had trouble finding an indie music group centered around the South Bay/San Jose area. As a grad student, I don't have money to dish out for tons of concerts, so I thought that we could meet at various affordable activities such as hikes, Farmers Markets, downtown excursions and happy hours (these are some of my favorites, but feel free to suggest more). There we can get to know potential concert buddies, discuss new/favorite music and plan events. I'd love to arrange …

Welcome to The IMC Academy Meetup Group. We specialize in passing on the Teachings of The Legendary Broadway Acting Coach, Manu Tupou. Gleaning true knowledge and workable applications from his extensive educational experience in the arts, Manu Tupou formulated his discoveries into the simplistic, but revolutionary, "New Era Acting Technique" (NEAT).

Playing Indie RPGs where joint story telling and role playing is the key, instead of GM-run hack-and-slash. Could be a game of Microscope where anything goes (from epic space opera to World War 2 drama to fantastic) and the focus shifts to points of interest, or perhaps a game of Fiasco where the fun is in watching the story unfold in unexpected ways. Imagination and communication is key!

The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) is the foremost organization of game professionals. We meet regularly to exchange ideas, network, and have fun. Everyone is welcome, even nonmembers!
