We have moved the July IFASA meeting to a larger venue, just around the corner, Beowulf Alley Theatre, 11 S. 6th Ave. Remember, this meeting will be one week later, due to the holiday, on Monday, July 13, at 6:00 PM.
Our speakers will be Shelli Hall, Director of the Tucson Film Office (a division of the MTCVB), and Noel Paynter, President of the Arizona Film & Media Coalition. Building on the foundation of the Tucson Film Industry Summit in April and the listserv discussion since then, Shelli and Noel will provide information on what their organizations are doing, the latest developments with the film incentives, and the any recent news regarding the state and local film industry. They will also answer your questions on these and related topics. This is sure to be a very interesting and informative meeting. Everyone is welcome.

The June IFASA meeting will be a special event at Auld Dubliner, 800 E University Ave. We will be screening short films by IFASA members. So, this is your chance to show your work to an audience. Whether it is new piece, an old favorite, and something off your shelf, bring it on DVD to show your fellow filmmakers. We ask that you let us know ahead of time that you plan to show a film, the title, and how long it is (please try to keep them under 10 minutes). Send me a note to mclaff9@earthlink.net. We plan to have about an hour of entertainment for the event which will run from 6 – 8pm. Everyone is invited to attend and enjoy the short films. Admission is free. Any drinks and food is on a pay as you go basis.
