Welcome to NYCIR, the best indie scene in Manhattan for liberty-minded New Yorkers!

Opportunity for independent filmmakers to screen and promote their work. Film lovers, artists and people who appreciate indie films.

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.    

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'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.

The aim of this Manhattan-based group is to serve as a social outlet for creativity, and to produce fun-to-watch short films of acceptable quality for the film festival circuit. No experience necessary! We may not produce as impressive a product as we want, but we’ll make movies, learn a lot, and we’ll have fun. Films will be written and directed by its members, and we’ll decide collectively which will be the next project. Any collective, and certainly this one, will require frequent compromise …

I belong to a few horror groups, but sometimes you just want to stay local. This group is for those who want to get together talk horror, watch some films, play some xbox, go to conventions and meet like minded horror fans. We also write horror blogs so we get access to movies early and would like to share that with other fans, especially indie films. So if you live in Queens and want to check out all types of horror films(zombies, indie, b-movies, exploitation, foreign, Troma, New), play games, …

If you are voters for Oscars, SAG Award, WGA/PGA/DGA Award, you probably would be bombarded with free screening invites, etc by now. (Many of them even include Q&A with stars/director/writers, etc) And I can't be the only one who thought it would be fun to go there with multiple people, getting together after the movie and talk about what we just saw. (And maybe, you might meet someone new...) If that's what you have in mind, this meetup is for you. Each voters are entitled to one guest (note: g …
