Covid-19 has caused a major disruption to the film industry and to life in general. Now as more people have been vaccinated and herd immunity is approached, things are starting to get back to "normal." This includes San Diego Filmmakers.
The San Diego Filmmakers will be having their first post-Covid meeting on August 10th and has invited the SD48HFP to speak about getting back to filmmaking. SD Filmmakers got its start back in 2005 as a result of the 48 Hour Film Project so their SD48HFP roots run deep. Several participants from that year's contest wanted to keep the community collaboration going - and so the SD Filmmakers group was born.
There will also be a SAG representative talking about how Covid has affected acting and what the future looks like.
The San Diego Filmmakers' meetings are informative events and great networking opportunities!
