While COVID-19 is currently keeping IFP Phoenix from having in person events, we did not want it to stop us from continuing to pursue our mission of helping to educate and connect local filmmakers. With that in mind, we are trying something new this week. We are going to virtually sit down with a filmmaker who has a short in the Phoenix Film Festival and we’re going to pick their brain.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the global COVID-19 virus, IFP Phoenix is canceling it’s in person events for March and April. As this progresses, we will reassess May events. Meanwhile, we are working on trying a couple of different things virtually so we can continue to offer some opportunities for connection within our local filmmaking opportunity. Stay safe and healthy, friends.

**This will be Paul DeNigris’ last month as our MMM host! Come out, screen your work or help give feedback, and thank Paul for his wonderful service to the community!** Monthly Movie Meeting is a chance for filmmakers to screen current works for feedback from an audience of peers. We screen 4-5 short pieces a month and the audience offers their take to filmmakers on what’s working and what can be worked on. It takes place on the first Wednesday of the month, most months. As always, there are two ways to participate:
- Sign up to screen a short film or part of a feature
- Attend the meeting and offer peer feedback to the filmmakers screening their works

With new hosts and a new location at SCC, “Building Your Crew” will showcase local filmmakers who’ve regularly hired on crew members for a variety of projects, from finding a cinematographer to identifying a solid production designer, and everything in between.
