Hey everyone,

Hope your winter quarter is off to a great start!  I wanted to post a little update about what the club is up to, and how you can get involved this quarter.  We're bringing on all sorts of great new members to our officer corps in the hopes of better serving the filmmaking community here.  We're going to bring some fantastic new programming to our meetings with Q and A panels, guest speakers, and workshops.  We're also revamping our online collaboration tools to make it easier to find and crew your projects.  This blog is getting a makeover and will serve as a hub for upcoming opportunities, talks, lectures, and contests so make sure to check back frequently.  Make sure to check out our calendar as we start updating it with film related activities and events coming up in Savannah.
