Remember the days of photocopy zines? Thinking about starting your own webcomic? Want to start an autobiographical journal comic? Or work on your magnum opus of a graphic novel? The Indie Comics Collective (of NYC) is a group that will aim to provide a space for work collaboration, constructive criticism, inspiration, and of course, socialization. There are several meetup groups in the city that focus on getting together and talking about comics, but relatively few that focus on making comics an …

Hi there! Do you enjoy discovering new/offbeat or classic independent/foreign films and discussing them with other film lovers?   Do you also love trying new types of food and wine? If so, come join us! We are a group of young film, food & wine buffs (mostly early 30's to early 40's) who live in the city, and get together several times a month in a private, relaxed setting  with comfy seating and large screen TV, for film, food & wine parties. We romp around the globe, pairing up foreign (somet …

Love to go to see indie and foreign films and then talk about them afterward? Me, too! Hi, I'm Francesca, an indie filmmaker and trans-media artist who lived in Manhattan for 25 years and thought nothing of calling a friend and suggesting we meet in an hour at one of the many arthouse theaters around town. But, when I moved to NJ I found my friends here did NOT share my tastes so I created the NJ ArthouseFilm Society (just to sound fancy). And, wouldn't you know it, there are tons of people lik …

This is a group for anyone interested in intelligent indie Art films. The idea is to develop an indie film-making culture & industry in Northampton and Pioneer Valley. I started this group because, quite frankly, I'm fed-up with the films from Hollywood and long for the days when films were magical, thought-provoking, engaging, meaningful, and artistic - not dumb entertainment. Looking forward to meeting fellow Artfilm enthusiasts, and those who enjoy indie films and world cinema.

You should join this group if.... 1. You're friends don't want to travel to Brooklyn to see a show on a weeknight. 2. You are over seeing sold out shows at MSG and Terminal 5 and would prefer to check out a new band at a small venue that won't break the bank. 3. You're sick of having to scramble to find someone to attend that awesome show with you and would like to meet a group of people with adventurous musical taste.

Let's bring talent back to the music scene. If you are a musician, promoter, producer, or just a fan. Let's meet at talk and share marketing skills. And learn what other artists are out there. By combining our talents and contact, you can hopefully survive without a label.

The purpose of this group is to unite fans of live music in Stamford and the surrounding towns.  Events will include local shows from New Haven to New York (of course, the more local the better!). Favorite venues currently are Acoustic Cafe and Gathering of the Vibes.  Open to all genres but with a preference for original indie rock, blues, roots, folk, funk, bluegrass, and anything in between.  This is a no-attitude, accepting group- I don't claim to be on the cutting edge of music, just love s …

I'm an MFA candidate in creative writing who has recently studied under a fantastic teacher at the top of the comics industry. I have a few books in development, and I'm looking to get together with other creatives in the field. Ideally, this group will put WRITERS together with ARTISTS and hopefully lead to kickstarting some new comics, publishing through Comixology's new indie publishing arm, and/or putting pitches together for big name houses including Image, Vertigo, etc. Think of it as a wa …

This is a group for both fans and designers of independent fashion. I was thinking we could get together at least once a month and either do something low-key (drinks, dinner, etc.) or go on a shopping/fashion excursion. Some possible destinations include The Market NYC, Chelsea Market, the flea markets in Brooklyn, etc. Pretty much any place that sells or promotes emerging designers is fair game. We are open to suggestions as to activities and dates/times. Designers, this is also a group for yo …

Let's get together to see films that most people don't want to see because... You have read subtitles or... the actors look like you and me and not the beautiful Hollywood stars. Hartford has at least 7 screens in the area dedicated to alternative cinema (Cinema City at Bow-Tie (4), CineStudio (Trinity College), Aetna Theatre at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and Real Art Ways). There are also foreign films shown in Bloomfield and at Wesleyan (a great secret movie place). Most of the films …

Looking for for people with like minded taste in music who are interested in seeing performances in the greater Hartford area and beyond (Northhampton/Boston/New York etc). We can also just get together locally, socialize, listen and discuss music. Ultimately, I would like to have a House Concert Series in are area (for members of the group only) where we can invite and sponsor artists to play in our living rooms. In this way we can support the artists we enjoy and get to see them perform first …

It’s the end of another grueling day at work. You’ve finally gotten out and in your hand, you grip your tell-tale bag holding the latest adventures of Peter Parker side by side with the Last Son of Krypton as he soars the skies above Metropolis while The Dark Knight Detective searching the streets of Gotham, all striving to rid the world of crime and injustice. So what do you do know? Go home? No, you don’t want to go home just yet. You’re thirsty and in need of good friends to talk to. Come and …

This is a networking group for people who are involved or who want to become involved in Film & Video Production: Producers, Directors, Writers, Cinematographers, Shooters, Editors, Audio, Actors, Composers, Set Designers, etc. My goal is to have an event at least every couple months: networking events, staged readings, movie nights, screenings of member's films, and Q&A sessions. I envision this group as being a re …

Let's make a movie. The name of the group really says it all. I want to make a movie and I want to find other people who are interested in doing the same thing. This will be a group for people who want to have fun and make something tangible. You do not have to be an expert or even be knowledgeable in any aspect of film-making, you should just want to be involved in someway. We can start with shorts and then expand to a feature film. There are so many roles to fill when making a movie so if you …

This is a group for aspiring comic creators to have an opportunity to network, collaborate, synergize and hang out with like minded individuals. If your an artist, writer or other welcome aboard. I started this meetup because comic books/graphic novels have had a resurgence in popularity recently with the movie, t.v. and video game adaptations. The technology of the last five to ten years has made it possible for the independent creators to go forward on their own via web comics with greater acc …

Each month we'll screen one or more works and then circle up for an intimate conversation with the artists or guest speaker. We'll focus on "art" films, both abstract and and narrative, primarily by local filmmakers, as well as hard-to-find foreign classics, and new documentaries. We have also started to organize and attend seminars on various industry topics like h …
