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

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!).

Queens represents an early history of filmmaking as evidenced by the century old Kaufman Astoria Studios and new Silvercup Studios based here.

We celebrate the absurd aspects of life... This meetup is for anyone appreciates absurdist/surrealist movies, theater, art, philosophy, etc. As that weird guy in that strange movie once said, try it, you might like it. btw -- if you're a no-show for 3 meetups without letting the organizer or group know, you're removed from the group. On the other hand, if you attend 3 meetups or suggest 3 meetups, then you're totally the opposite of getting removed from this group.
